Psytrance in Boston

(Originally published in Boston’s Weekly Dig)

Psytrance is not dead. Despite the recent trends toward minimal techno in dance music or electro in the clubs, there remains a staunchly underground audience for the sometimes quite fast genre that is psychedelic trance music. A genre that, if you’re willing, will promptly blow your mind.

psyforia-max

"Psytrance has different dynamics from other music," explains Anya Bogdanova of local psytrance community Sonic Beating, the group behind the monthly "Psyforia" night at Machine. "We try to decorate using a variety of materials, including UV-reactive Lycra fabrics, string-art arrays and sculptures, tapestries and custom vinyl banners. This helps to build an environment that’s spacey, exploratory and compliments the type of music we play." Different dynamics? Check.

Psytrance is also known for its relentless bass drum—a kick that is so constant and continual, a listener could forget it’s even there … unless that listener was at a Sonic Beating event. "We bring additional processing and subs to back up the house system," says Bogdanova, who plans to bring the circus to the afterhours party at Rise on Friday, March 5th. "We have hooper performers in our crew, as well as many attendees that do poi, staff and so forth. We always encourage everyone to come—early, when there is more room—with fun toys, as we encourage an environment where people can share skills and perform to the music."

Populating Google’s Earth

Crowd-Sourced Building Maker

Unlike the flight simulator embedded in Google Earth, this is productively entertaining.

We like to think of Building Maker as a gigantic bin of building blocks. Basically, you pick a building and construct a model of it using aerial photos and simple 3D shapes – both of which we provide. When you’re done, we take a look at your model. If it looks right, and if a better model doesn’t already exist, we add it to the 3D Buildings layer in Google Earth. You can make a whole building in a few minutes.
