Some interesting news from Evan:
Not content to play it safe, and seeking to expand the "producer behind a laptop" paradigm of electronic music, Evan hand picked a group of accomplished musicians to help him realize a more engaging live experience and Satori Social was born. Combining elements of dub, downtempo, soul, funk, and modern electronic music, the Satori Social project builds on the sonic worlds of previous Bluetech material, while stretching into new dimensions of evocative modern music, and is evolving into an experience that is more than the sum of it's parts, both in the live experience and new material born from the collaborative writing process.
The cast of characters includes Katrina Blackstone, a jazz trained vocalist from NYC with a passionate vocal presence, Russell Scott, an exceptionally talented multi-instrumentalist on various horns, flute, synth and keys, Jason 'Cedar' Miller, an expression percussionist, and Evan Bluetech himself running the live mix and playing keys and synth.

yes...
Satori Social
both those tracks are on Love Songs to the Source, which you'll see from us in early May.
The Myspace page you reference has the confirmed live dates.
I think Evan's move into the live band realm is great news. More magic can occur... |

Those samples on myspace sound like the business. Love the remix (or re-rub) of Green Sophia - bliss!
@Bodhisattva:
A recent Interchill email stated the following:
Quote:
| bluetech - love songs to the source
release date: may 3 2010
we are excited to announce that we'll be releasing a new album from the multi-faceted producer bluetech. this latest offering, love songs to the source, is an audio exploration of the spark of divine light that oscillates in the heart of every being, seeking union with its source. it was specifically written to be performed by the full bluetech live band and explores a more dubwise and organic sound palette than previous bluetech albums with the inclusion of several amazing vocal collaborations. |

I'm assuming this is talking about the same release. The little avatar pic is the same.
So glad the release date is 3 May. I'm playing a little set at the beginning of a friend's wedding reception in mid-March. This looks like it'd have some perfect tunes to welcome people into the reception and put them at ease before dinner.  |

It was a very nice live show. Nothing like what I expected (i.e., not a sound I associated with Bluetech), but still very nice. Danceable beats, great instrumentalists (and vocalist!), a bit jazzy in parts. Well worth it.

I would be there, but I seem to live on the wrong continent when it comes to all the great musics of the North Americas and the Europes... ah well, cd's are good too. |
