Soft Pieces

The final word: I’m going to be the first act of the day, going on at 2:30pm sharp.

Check here for the full Sonic Circuits DC schedule.

The week-long festival is starting this Sunday. School and work are keeping me busy but I’m definitely going to the CD release party and performances at the Velvet Lounge this Sunday.

I should know more about my slot on Saturday, October 4th soon. My guess is that I’ll be asked to perform in the early afternoon as the least known person playing that day. As for the performance itself: Expect the unexpected. And wear goggles. Actually, do not do either of those things. Especially the first one. You will be asked to leave.

From today’s print version of the Washington Post’s free daily the Express:

MAKE SOME NOISE: Above, Maryland’s own Zach Mason goes by the nom d’electronica Soft Pieces and makes tough, organic soundscapes…

To see the whole thing, please check out page 45 of this PDF.

It’s really weird that someone decided to use my yarn-wrapped mug as the representative image for a week-long festival of experimental electronic music. (Especially since I’m not mentioned by name.) I guess I have to accept that… well… I’m a sex symbol now.

So… come to the show, next week, and I will share not only my music but my bone structure.

As: Zach Mason

I’m now on my second day at home with the Super Cold™. (Four hours of sleep during the day, in addition to seven at night is very much not my style.) But I finished my first batch of homework for Flash class and now I’m free to put more time into show prep.

Much more important than all that:

Get it because of the excellent editorial by Laura Craig Mason (on page 18) and because of the inherent awesomeness of every issue of Bitch Magazine.
