Sonoplex is the musical brain child of three talented musicians in Charleston, SC. This band represents a dynamic fusion of live instruments and digital sound manipulation. Benjamin Gordon, Max Cobb, and Davis Goforth each bring their own musical expertise to this exciting new project. Benjamin Gordon plays guitar, hand drums, digereedoo, and runs the master mix through several audio processing programs. Max Cobb plays several analog and digital synths, as well as viola, and puts his expert knowledge of musical composition to the limit. Davis Goforth is a drumming machine and more, laying down live percussion that pumps the beat and drives the crowd wild. Max and Davis were two of the musicians in the band Manic Motion and have been playing music together since they were young. If your looking for a fresh, live, and progressive sound, check out Sonoplex.
Last Tuesday was the debut show of Digital Dubsidian. I think it went really well. Austin rocked the drums all night while I layed down the new beats we have been working on. Thanks to all my friends who came out for the show. Tuesdays at O’Malleys is now Inkahootz night so check it out if you get a chance.
The crowd was limited but thus is the usual case on a Tuesday. It was too dark to video tape, and the sound quality from the recording was not good enough. We will work on getting it recorded in the studio when we can. Austin is also working hard with “A Band of Gypsies” so if you guys get a chance go ahead and check them out.
Stay tuned for samples of Digital Dubsidian coming soon to generationbinary.com. Check out the new tracks I have put up on the site and let me know what you think.
I am proud to announce that Generation Binary will be teaming up with Austin Parker for some serious Live Drum and DJ Action! Austin and myself have been jamming together for almost two years now. His precision beats and breakneck speed are the perfect complement for my progressive digital style. We plan to start playing gigs around town next semester so look out and listen up.
Last weekend we had our debut show at Marks BASSment party. Well, 5 minuets into the sound check good old Johnny Law showed up to ruin the fun. Too bad! We tried to keep it quite but still have some fun with the people who showed up. Even with one speaker, no sub, below setreo volume, and soft jazz drumsticks, the cops still returned and asked us to keep it down. (they said that it was quiter than any party they ever busted but the neighbs were apparently complaining like woah. So we waited for an hour or so of frustrating silence. Evenetualy we busted out some accousic instruments just for the love of music. Even with a xilophone, accoustic guitar, and super light djembe, the cops returned to shut us down once again.
What did we learn from all this you may ask? Its time to move into the venues! The tracks were droppin and the jams were getting into are just too tight, too dirty, and too ill to be contained in any private residence. The time has come for us to start rocking bars and venues of Charleston right.
Stay tuned my friends, the mysterious ways of life can guide us in the right direction, but only you can transcend your limitations and reach for the stars.
