Sound On Tape

Sound On Tape at Grog Shop

What does Cleveland electronic music look like when the machines are played live and the visuals become part of the performance?

Sound On Tape brings a live-electronics debut to Grog Shop on November 27, with visuals from Ladybug A/V Club and Motherboard also on the bill. The event is presented as an audio-visual experience, not simply a DJ pressing play. For anyone who loves electronic textures but wants to see the creative choices unfold in the room, that's a compelling reason to go.

The interesting moments can be subtle: a rhythm building from almost nothing, a texture changing shape, a visual cue turning a familiar sound into something strange. Then the bass arrives and the room responds. That mixture of experimentation and immediate audience reaction is what makes a live-electronics presentation worth leaving home for. Grog Shop's underground identity fits a Cleveland artist making a bold first move, and the additional act gives the evening a broader local-scene feel. You don't need to know every track in advance to enjoy being surprised. Find more Cleveland concerts.
