Spark Festival- Nitelife 3
I went to the Nomad World Pub on Friday night for what was called "Nitelife 3" in the Spark Festival schedule. It was an electronica concert with 5 or 6 musicians/groups of musicians, and I hope some one else chose to do this as well because it was really cool. The night started out with just one guy mixing music on his Apple, and over the course of the night, as different groups came out, the atmosphere got more and more involved. There were more people, louder and faster music, and the screen behind them, which had previously been a plain white screen, began to show old cartoons, like Betty Boop and some crazy dinosaur called Fido, and abstracts cityscapes. I wasn't really sure about the relationship they had to the music, but it was great. As for the music itself, I loved it, but then electronica is one of my favorite genres. The sounds and beats have a way of completely taking you in, absorbing you into the scene.
