SOS is a LIVE looping madness duo - all sounds are performed, recorded, and manipulated LIVE - take that DJs! (Joking - we love DJs!)

Scientists of Sound (SOS) Halifax, NS

Dirty electro sounds in an improvisational original format that nobody else is doing… Live looping dance madness – in masks – and lab coats… This is the mantra for this Halifax based duo sometimes trio sometimes quattro looping madness unit… Play sound – record sound – manipulate sound until it doesn’t sound like the original sound – and do it all over well crafted original dance tracks and thumpin’ beats… That IS the stuff right there… This is Scientists of Sound…

In the past year SOS have shifted from a side project / fun time project to a bona-fide electro powerhouse on the Canadian music scene… They have performed in every major Canadian market and have been winning fans coast to coast in the process… They have shared the stage with notable electro artists MSTRKRFT. Kid Koala, Boys Noise, Thunderheist, and more… Their recent tours during which they performed a selection of Daft Punk, Justice, MSTRKRFT, and Deadmau5 tracks in addition to their own packed clubs and dance floors across the country. Their debut EP Wealth and Hellness hits I-Tunes in early May of 2011.

Just Added! Tippy Agogo from Shambhala Festival, one of the originators at 10 PM !

Tippy Agogo, the “One Man Orchestra†and Mouth Musician, is known throughout the free world for making beautiful, scary, heavy, and insightful music on reclaimed tin cans, broken guitars, and racks full of technological gadgetry. He performs for children, punk rockers, folkies, metal heads, low brows, high brows, electronica-philes and all those in-between and way outside!

One of Shambhala’s originators, Tippy played the sunrise set the year before the first Shambhala at an U.T.V. supported event on Morning Mountain near Nelson, uniting crews from abroad, Vancouver, and the good Kootenay people – those crews supporting Shambhala number one. He played it every two years, no matter where he had to travel from – there is honey on the road!

Tippy has performed on albums with such diverse artists as Sarah McLachlan, SNFU, lndustrial Bands Sun God and Aurora Sutra, Ed Ka-spel (Legendary Pink Dots), and a host of other famous people. He tours constantly. He wins awards for his soundtracks for film and theatre projects. He makes his mother proud.

Tippy started his work as an infamous mock-go-go dancer of k.d.lang and the Reclines, and is listed under Punk History Canada, as part of the mid-80’s punk rock scene notably in Edmonton, playing with members from Jerry Jerry and the Sons of Rhythm Orchestra, Jr.Gone Wild, the Humane Drum Society(an early collective), Down Syndrome, and 12 Midnite. He has always been, as one media personality put it, ‘a one man orchestra’, and his groups have had from one to twenty people.

His music is so wide-scoped and spontaneous chiefly because he grew up with anthropologist / ethnomusicologist parents, living in many cultures, playing mostly his mouth, voice and throat, and an arsenal of homemade traditional instruments, and electrifying his mouth music, and turning up the sub-tones, echoing his voice in canyons and city zones. Later, Agogo got mixed up with the second generation of notable punk rockers and rebel music folksters, although his music had qualities somewhat more experimental, world industrial mix, slightly psychedelic and tinges of dub, no-wave, organic electronica and pure trad!
