The term 'underground' gets thrown around a lot in modern culture. Anything outside the mainstream genre can fall under the vast umbrella of underground arts. And what a beautiful big umbrella it is. Everyone's huddling under it!
If underground arts really was an umbrella, Mark McGuire would be the rain causing noisy droplets to fall around all us. Yep, he's the music man. Recognised as one of the central figures emerging from the American underground music scene he developed an entirely unique method of live looping and introduced a network on tone, melody and free form modification.
In Brisbane for the very first time, McGuire will perform at The Judith Wright Centre for first Syncretism event of the year. Also featuring Brisbane's own Black Realm with their very distinctive audio vision, the night promises to be an intimate performance showcasing some of the best electronica and experimental music. For fans of live looping this is a night not to be missed.
Head down to the Judy this Thursday to catch the talented player/songwriter mastering his craft.
