Electrofunkadelica

Electrofunkadelica is a mixture of elements from electronica, funk, nu-metal, old metal, hip-hop, pop, neo-classical, mediterranean and jazz, melded and mashed into contemporary music for the modern international listener. Some songs contain social and political messages, some are emotional and inspirational, and some are just plain fun. The videos range from harsh political commentary to dramatic cinematic narratives to complete silliness. They visually express a broad range of feelings and emotions found in real life through a hi-tech, low-fi production value dichotomy. Electrofunkadelica uses these visuals, somewhere between art films and home video, as a backdrop to live performance.

The Electrofunkadelica live performance features Shaunna Hall on guitar, and other electronic sources including looping samplers, Kevin Carnes on drums, and occasional guest vocalists or instrumentalists. Projected visual imagery plays a large part in an Electrofunkadelica show, with VJ mixing, animation and film. The show provides a totally submersive experience for the audience by including the cutting edge visual techniques of VJ's and projected imagery.
