So I'm playing the grand opening of "TION" if that's actually how they're spelling it. TION is the brainchild of Ty Gorton and others. The plan is a mysterious blend of things. Event venue? Warehouse of hard core underground creative innovation?
I hear there's 3 stories! I hear there will be the most epic sound system! I hear graphic design, film, websites, record labels will merge with a circus-like dream studio. People will live there too?
This is all rumor...all speculation. I sense it will be something very special, an elevation of Chico art and artists. A laboratory of artistic and business experiments, a petri dish for dreams to flourish or turn into really stinky, blue moldy funk. I don't know. Whatever it's going to be, I'm really looking forward to it.
All I know is that Ayrian is putting together a night of psycho beats on Saturday November 8. I'm writing special tracks for the occasion. The one in the works is featuring some mangled b-boy breaks constructed with tr808 samples, some deconstruction sound design techniques, samples of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr........and stuff.
I'm excited for this show, I think it will be the largest sound system I've ever played out on, so bring your epileptic seizures and fear!
I will be in costume. Theatrics are necessary for this special occasion.
This place may change the landscape of Chico arts forever.
