Have you heard of Controllerism? You will, and the artist who will bring it to you is Moldover. Like Turntablism, Controllerism is all about using technology as a musical instrument. Controllerists use customized software and computer controllers to manipulate music live. Imagine Z-Trip vs. Squarepusher! Moldover is already being flown all over the world to perform live and teach the techniques and ideas of Controllerism. Moldover's skills leave an instant and lasting impression on all who see him play. He frequently performs at high-profile "hip / future-culture" events sponsored by RedBull, Scion, The Grammy Foundation, Microsoft, as well as music technology events including Remix Hotel, Mutek, NAMM, and The South American Music Conference (SAMC). Moldover co-created the Warper party; the largest live electronic music showcase in New York City. Warper has become a platform for the development of electronic performance where Moldover is a supporter, leader and inspiration to the NYC electronic music community and beyond. As the party matures, well into its 2nd year, similar "Warper" parties have begun to spring up worldwide, inspired by the original NY event. The Octamasher is a collaborative music installation, built from the ground up by Moldover. The Octamasher is a network of eight, custom designed electronic instruments with a computer brain that keeps everything synchronized and harmonized. Both intuitive and powerful, anyone from your kid sister to your 80-year-old grandma can tweak beats, blend songs and flip samples, together at the same time. The Octamasher has entertained participants at festivals all over the United States. Moldover's influence and reputation have earned him coverage in Computer Music magazine, Pro Sound News, Keyboard magazine, Create Digital Music online, and others. With his party rockin' dance sets, top notch performance skills, and intriguing art creations, Moldover has become very much in demand to those interested in the future of music. His fans eagerly await his forthcoming album which combines his talents as a technology guru, successful producer, and guitarist. (Blurb):
