Tonight experimental electronic creation the W.A.Z. (Willful Adventure Zone) hits Nietzsche's stage, accompanied by vocalist "The Madame" Nancy Sterman. The W.A.Z. is the brainchild of David Wasik, internationally accomplished, Buffalo-born percussionist. Wasik's goal when he created the WAZ was to create "... produce a serene electra-glide on the journey down the highway to where one’s imagination will take them." Drawing heavily off of the texture driven musique conrete, the WAZ's sonic exploration is reminiscent of early electronic acts such as Tangerine Dream and Pink Floyd, merged with the mixed rhythms of bebop artists like Miles Davis or John Coltrane. Wasik has essentially turned this project into psychedelic experience, and incorporates much improvisation into each set. He incorporates early-stage musical electronics, and refrains from the simple button pushing that has infiltrated nearly all forms of digital electronic music. Often reversing the musical roles of percussion and melody, the WAZ is definitely a return to roots for psychedelic and electronic music, and incorporates bebop and jazz roots in ways that trip hop and drum n' bass could only touch on. Combined with accomplished vocalist Sterman, this is definitely a must attend for fans of modern jazz, or proto-pyschedelia. The show starts at Nietzsche's at around 10 pm.
