We were excited and proud to host our Fuse Fest: Cassette Culture Celebration on the afternoon and evening of Saturday, May 23rd from 12 noon to 8:00pm at the Old First Presbyterian Church (1101 Bryden Rd 43205). The festival included performances featuring experimental musician Dan Burke’s project (ORD) Illusion of Safety, electronic experimental musician David Reed’s solo project Envenomist (CMH), electronic experimental musician Jeff Chenault’s solo project Central Inhabitants (CMH), and electronic experimental musician Andy Izold’s solo project Full Load of King (CLE).
In addition to performances, the fest included a panel discussion with Jerry Kranitz (author of Cassette Culture), Jeff Chenault (The Electronic Music History of Columbus), and Daniel Burke, a film screening of William Davenport’s The Great American Cassette Masters, and a variety of music label vendors.
About the artist:
Some people equate David Reed’s solo project Envenomist (CMH) with science fiction film scores; others envision solitary nocturnal travels through bleak urban settings. A fundamental strength of Envenomist is that these illusory backdrops remain open to interpretation. Taking inspiration from industrial, ambient, and the kosmische scenes along with altered states of consciousness, the oceanic abyss, and deep space, Reed has been producing desolate soundscapes under the Envenomist moniker since 2005.
