Join us at Backspace Monday August 22 for the tape release of Rechargeable Vol. 2 featuring the best of live sets from a year of structured improvisation and experimentation with battery powered music production.  The tapes are handmade, printed locally by HEATWAVE press.  Each comes with a digital download of the album from Tamarack Music's bandcamp page (plus bonus material from Battery Powered Music's guest artists).  Battery Powered Music is inching towards it's 1st year anniversary later this year and Tamarack Music is planing some exciting cassette tape releases from Ondoh, Ethernet and some brilliant European skweee and chip dub music productions on 7 inch vinyl.

This release represents the open form of the Battery Powered Music events.  A free flowing improvisation of grooves, effects, ambience, drums and keyboards all played on battery powered devices.  From our very 1st recordings outside Doug Smith's Rhythm Lab to the packed foyer of the Bagdad Theater, to board recordings of the full BPM Ensemble at our Backspace biweekly - the 60 minutes on this tape take you on a sonic journey through a year of experimentation.  Battery Powered Music extends the invitation to come play with us.  Music is a game, there are no rules only tools, and we have a bunch of fun little tools to play with.
