ESAC Launches with ATOM™ & Tobias. Aug 11 @ the Viaduct Theater

With the yearly Lollapalooza hoopla taking hold of Chicago, we of course turn our attention forward a week to August 11th. This is when the fledgeling cultural organization ELECTRONIC SOUND AND ART CHICAGO launches its event activity with a two room multimedia extravaganza featuring the Chicago/Midwest debut of world renown techno experimentalists /electronic innovators ATOM™(Uwe Schmidt of Señor Coconut /Atom Heart fame) & Tobias Freund (Pink Elln).

Bonafide living legends of techno/live electronic performance in their own right as solo artists, their collaborative work over the past 30 years is made more intriguing by a split in the 90’s – a consequence of their respective relocations from Frankfurt (Schmidt relocating to Santiago de Chile and Freund to Berlin). That they haven’t even played in the Midwest is a minor tragedy whose resolution we excitedly anticipate.

The show also features a couple surefire debut tag team spots (Chris Widman vs Striz, DJ Warp vs Frankie Vega), as well as a second BEAT.SPACE room featuring performances culled from across Chicago’s varied electronic music community from the likes of Radius, Karl Meier(Fear of Music), FMEL’s ((SONORAMA)), and TIME NICE (of dubscription).

This launch/fundraiser event for the aforementioned ESAC has us really looking forward to what else the group has in store for the city. In light of Chicago mega-festivals and an increasingly commercially-hyped media and scenester driven musical landscape, here’s to hoping they can help redirect the conversation towards a lil more sincerity in musical art.
