El Mapi (France)
Behind this name is one of the most dynamic figures of the French electro-pop scene. Elmapi’s recently released second album “Arcane Electronique” (mixed by Andy Moor of the Ex) has been lauded as a raw and hypnotizing mix, situated somewhere between “... Stereolab and Ming, it makes the head spin” - Abus Dangereux. Upon return from her 20 city US tour, her off kilter sound expanded when she teamed up with the vampler Matterlink who improvises shots from b-movies with the original sounds attached (www.vampler.net/matterlink). Recent concerts of the duo have been explosive, alternating between the driving “pop-concrete” compositions of Elmapi and the sampled sounds and voices of Matterlink’s “live cinema”.

NOTE: Mapi is not a duo made up of El Mapi and Matterlink.

(Chicago, Santa Fe)
Driven and inspired by hip hop culture, Goodwin strives to emanate a freshness, a living beat and rhythm, an improvisational flow. He’s interested in exploring beyond the current modes of spoken word and oriented “hip hop theater”. He is an award-winning poet, hip hop playwright, recording artist, and teacher committed to making art that incites, inspires, and engages.
Max sez: Idris was at the 8th Annual HM Fest. He redefined the terms "bad-ass" and "educator".

8th Annual
Emerging Music and Arts Festival

CLICK HERE FOR FESTIVAL ARTISTS, SCHEDULE, more..

September 19-21 AT
Warehouse 21, 1614 Paseo de Peralta, Santa Fe, NM

Unlike any other music festival, High Mayhem will brought local and national experimental and emerging artists to the 8th Annual High Mayhem Emerging Music and Arts Festival in Santa Fe, NM.

THANK YOU TO ALL THE BRILLIANT ARTISTS, PERFORMERS, TECHIES, VOLUNTEERS AND WAREHOUSE 21!

ABOUT HIGH MAYHEM:
Founded in 2001, High Mayhem Emerging Arts is a not-for-profit emerging arts facility, record label and multimedia production collective based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. We challenge the homogenizing effect of pop-culture groupthink (how'd it get so meditated so fast?) by providing opportunities for and fostering collaborations with underrepresented "experimental" artists.

We provide a venue and voice for creative tinkerers who challenge our notions of aesthetics in music and art, especially those who employ cross-media synthesis, improvisational techniques who introduce new ways of hearing, looking and presenting the unorthodox...the often indescribable.

High Mayhem curates performances and organizes workshops year-round with musicians and performance artists who come from near and far. We seek out others to join us in producing innovative and thought-provoking experiences for our communities. Further, we encourage and organize collaborative experiments across disciplines; new forms emerge from mutated traditions and pure invention. MORE

That reads really earnest. Earnestly? Is that too earnest? Any writers out there? Help me out.
