Hi there Noisebridgideers!

LoveTech is making some exciting appearances this month - and opportunities may 
be available to showcase you project at the CA Academy of Science on August 
26th!

Not only did we have an absolute blast last month, giving Preshish Moments a 
heartfelt sendoff, supported by MGFest and a terrific onslaught of the most 
stunning back to back performances that LoveTech has seen yet... not to mention 
Moldover's delightful light-triggering MIDI box tribute!...and be sure to peep 
this Preshish moment from the night: http://youtube.com/watch?v=96HFfZtV1hM and 
check our pics here as they're being uploaded:

We are now being featured in the spot light this month at some stunning new 
venues, and we couldn't be more thrilled! Instead of the regularly scheduled 
Last Saturday at Il Pirata (let's face it - we're all gonna be at Burning Man or 
packing), we are being featured at 3 very special events, focused on Invention 
and DIY Innovation, very much in line with the spirit of our brilliantly 
creative community.

First Up!:

THIS THURSDAY at NightLife at the CA Academy of Science for Inventor's Month!

LoveTech @ the CA Academy of Science
Thursday, August 5th
6pm-10pm
55 Music Concourse Drive, Golden Gate Park, SF


LoveTech: Live Electronic Music Performances in the Aquarium:

6pm: Preshish Moments
Preshish Moments delivers deliciously bassy synths, seismic beats, and enlivened 
rhymes with an instrument he built from wood, crossfaders, and buttons from old 
submarines. He makes music, builds electronics, sews light suits, and writes 
computer programs for himself and other musicians. Performing a special ambient 
groove set for the CA Academy Aquarium!

7pm: Colfax
Colfax will swoon you into your subconscious with his musical mastery. This 
virtuosic sound sorcerer stirs analog electronics expressively alive. Unearthing 
styles and musical sentiments long forgotten, Colfax is interested in the soul 
embedded in the tape, the mystery in the circuitry, the ghost in the machine.

8pm: Nonagon
A calm and collected musical genius, effortlessly melding genres from ambient 
drum'n'bass to downtempo IDM, Nonagon will linger longingly in your 
subconscious, with gorgeous productions that surge and flow. His intricate 
melodic beatscapes are both stirring and alive, as he recreates them seamlessly 
with his glowing Monome.

9pm: Moldover
If technology and music are your life, brace yourself - Moldover is about to 
reformat your soul. Hailed by 700,000 YouTube viewers as "The Godfather of 
Controllerism", Moldover is a new breed of music icon. Combining the charisma of 
a rock star, the mad genius of a basement inventor, and the radical 
inclusiveness of the DIY internet generation, Moldover is "literally throwing 
away the rule book and reinventing the wheel" (Remix Magazine). Performing a 
chilling midtempo set for the CA Academy Aquarium!
