Blevin is perhaps most infamously known as one half of the recently reformed and reunited groundbreaking digital duo Blectum From Blechdom (with Kevin Blechdom / Kristin Erickson), recipients of the 2001 Ars Electronica Award of Distinction in Digital Musics for their album "The Messy Jesse Fiesta". In 2013 she co-founded the electroacoustic-radioplayers The Traveling Bubble Ensemble with fellow sci-fi enthusiast and sibling Kelley Polar (Michael Kelley). Left to her own devices, Blevin produces turbulent electronics with a more oblique slant on the basic BFB sensation of things-not-quite-right-here, clanking, creaking grooves and anti-grooves as a coal-powered spacecraft from some poststeampunked parallel universe potentiality, puffing and straining as it struggles to reach escape velocity, conjured and bounced to the breaking/boiling point, generally fucked-with samples of everything from hand-slapped rain-drenched leaves in celestial courtship gardens and antique broken Beatnik banks to classic, utterly dancefloored, floridly dangerous disembodied-dismembered half-remembered vocals. She can be heard in radio plays, electronic toys, theater spaces, film/television scores, advertisements, clubs, concert halls, headphones, and galleries. She has releases on labels including Aagoo, Estuary Ltd., Tigerbeat6, DeluxeRecs, Praemedia, Vague Terrain, and Phthalo. http://blevinblectum.com/ https://www.facebook.com/blevin.blectum https://www.facebook.com/BlevinBlectumD84 https://soundcloud.com/blevinblectum/ FRED RAPID (Electronic/DE) Nickel-plated snares cut through the tune's gelatinous nebula in halftime, polite synth sequences flutter into the murk, and bubbles of sub-frequencies swell under the oily surface, unable to burst the thick ooze. Underneath those palpable sounds is a wellspring of metaphysical resonance you could trace back to more than a few sources, but playing connect the dots would betray the track's significance. Vocal samples get pitched and sliced until they resemble extraterrestrial chatter, while the music around it pops and revs up, disparate sounds smacking one another. Fred Rapid corrals them into a piece of music that never devolves into a mess, but manages the chaos as it bubbles with overwhelming feeling. http://www.fredrapid.net/ NEKROBOT (DJ-Set/Experimental, Eclectic, Wave/GR) http://www.mixcloud.com/nekrobot/
