The ninety and nine are with dreams, content but the hope of the world made new, is the hundredth man who is grimly bent on making those dreams come true.
—Edgar Allan Poe


The Walnut Room in Denver has been a loyal supporter of experimental and ambient artists, is a beautiful venue with superior sound, and boasts the best audio engineers in town. There, on October 30, Halloween eve, the unveiling of new music by thereminist Victoria Lundy will be the occasion for the gathering of a diverse group of electronic music artists, all of them intent on creating magic. Mark Mosher will contribute his synth wizardry, and to complement the music and sound, Mark will also project enchanting visuals. Church Fire will cast their scorching synth pop into the bubbling cauldron. Keldari Station will bind them all with the music of the spheres. A  cosmic event not to be missed.
Miss American Vampire: songs on the theremin will be released on Bandcamp with a limited number of specially made physical copies available at the show.  The concept of this album is to showcase the theremin — using theremin samples and virtual synths as compositional tools, surrounding more traditional and melodic playing on the instrument. Some of the pieces are more experimental and non traditional; others are more melodic. But the goal is to use the theremin as what it was meant to be: the most expressive electronic instrument ever created.

Mark Mosher from Boulder Colorado composes, improvises and performs techno,  ambient, and experimental music using complex synthesizers.  Mark is also known for his expertise in synthesizer programming,  and production and show control with Ableton Live. For this show, Mark will be performing expressive controllerism on keys, Ableton Push grid, and infrared AudioCubes with his “Invader Cam” interactive visuals with live camera input. Songs will include new material and dark techno tracks from his alien invasion concept albums Reboot, I Hear Your Signals, and Fear Cannot Save Us — with a little dark ambient sprinkled in for good measure. Mark will also be producing projection mapped visuals for the entire show. He has performed at festivals and theaters around the country such as Electro-Music NY, Electro-Music & Mountain Oasis Festivals in Asheville NC, and the Art Institute of Sunnyvale CA. Locally he has produced shows and performed at the Dairy Center for the Arts, DU and CU. In 2014, Mark broke into the top 10 US and top 20 Global ReverbNation charts for the Electronica genre.
Mark is the also the founder of the 200+ member strong Boulder Synthesizer Meetup (www.BoulderSynth.com) and has been blogging on music technology for 10 years at www.ModulateThis.com.

Church Fire, composed of Shannon Webber (synth, vocals) and David Samuelson (keyboard, synths, producer), might be called synth pop if their oeuvre wasn’t so weird. Majestic, witchy, up-to-no-good experimental dance duo.
