Blevin Blectum, aka Bevin Kelley

As I noted in these pages last year, we have a genius in our midst with Seattle transplant Blevin Blectum (aka Bevin Kelley), who works on Alexa sound design by day and sublimely strange electronic music by night. It’s as if some combination of Aphex Twin and Suzanne Ciani arrived unannounced in the 206 and came fully amped to unleash two decades of studio wizardry on an unsuspecting populace. Blevin Blectum has become an IDM icon, both as a member of the delightfully delirious duo Blectum from Blechdom, and as a solo artist creating surreal synth and computer music that makes your brain invent new dance moves inside your skull. Aquamarine Space Unicorns (Joyanna M and Lily Bell) have a memorable name and a slick way with intimate, nocturnal, and insightful downtempo electronic songcraft.

Their co-show tonight at Vermillion Art Gallery is billed as an "an all femme, all electronica show," wherein both Blevin and Unicorns perform. Live overlap and collaboration is likely. Check out some media by both below.
