Why do we like this?
Right now is the time where I am supposed to put words on a page about a show.  Usually, this comes with confidence (or at least direction) -- to be real,  there is absolutely no way to fully communicate the audio/visual experience that went down at San Francisco's Mighty last week.  A part of the city's annual week-long music festival Noise Pop, Matthew Dear donned his moniker Audion for the evening and put on a techno show than the 90s would be more than proud to claim.

A true marrying of the eyes and ears, Audion enlisted the help of Vita Motus, known in the music world for their work on Amon Tobin's 2012/2013 Isam tour.  Giant triangles were soldered together perfectly to create Dear's home for the evening -- a literally brilliant display of light and shape with organic and inorganic visuals pulsating to the music.

Hard techno beats with a pretty consistent mid-range BPM like Audion's newest singles "Motormouth" and "Sky" slapped their through the air while Dear rocked out in the soldered triangle sphere.  Sporadic, fleeting moments of his brown curls floating above his dancing body would appear, and there was no question that Dear was having more fun than any other person at that show.

Starting with a demonic-sounding track of nebulous beats and vocals, Dear set a harrowing tone for the evening.  The set was varied and its kaleidoscopic visuals perfectly complimented the heavy techno din.  Frenetic transitions faded into oblivion as Dear coursed his way through layered blips, bass, and crescendoing melodies over his hour set and encore.  The dance-filled techno thundered on as the crowd danced to the mesmerizing duo for eyes and ears, while Dear made his electronic music adeptness rain from the stage.
