MakeMusic TalkMusic Interactive Party March 14, 2009

MakeMusic TalkMusic presents a truly interactive evening of music, films, robots – and dancing – during SXSW Interactive and Film. Live music, world premiere videos screenings, and Maker Faire-friendly demos culminate in memorable talk of crunk sounds, staggering sights, and things that go bleep.

Indie music makers known for dynamic live performances highlight the party: Headliner Peel, a pop band with an experimental art & craft approach to music, is not afraid make some noise. With an electronica alter ego the size of Texas, MVSCLZ hearkens the last days of disco and Studio 54 while not losing a future-minded boldness. Computer synthesized tunes don’t hold back the anti-Ritalin effects of electro/funk MC Neiliyo, who gets the party started after a short program of entertaining local films.

Special guests: M.A.L.I. Women's Film & Performance Arts Festival screens a surprise short selection from a current festival participant; Totally Wreck Production Institute offers a unique media & visual arts experience; local filmmaker BLACK MAGIC ROLLERCOASTER opens MakeMusic TalkMusic with a world premiere video projection of short films.
