Mutaytor, Break Science and Motion Potion
Mezzanine

San Francisco, CA 94103

Six months after stealing the show at the sold out Sea of Dreams NYE party, the Mutaytor returns to San Francisco with a massive 30+ piece lineup and a bevy of fresh new music. Touring on the acclaim of their 2008 release Yelling Theatre in a Crowded Fire” the Mutaytor has grown from an electrified cabaret act into a rock-electronica monster. The songs on “Yelling Theatre” were their most elaborately crafted, instrument-packed and live-band optimized. Consequently, the show has grown accordingly from one with a musical experience to match the acts already substantial visual spectacle. Producer-composers Buck Down and Atom Smith have moved out from behind their laptops and taken positions behind guitar and keys respectively, and percussionist Brady Spindle moonlights on acoustic guitar now as well. With bassist John Avila (Oingo Boingo) turntablist Motion Potion, 3 drummers and a full horn section, the result is a musical output matched only by the energy of the visual team.

The Mutaytor fortifies this massive musical prowess with well-choreographed performances by dancers, aerialists, hoopers, contortionists and fire performers, many of whom are considered the cream of Los Angeles’s performance-art crop. The culmination of this transformation was realized at February’s sold-out “Art of Change Inaugural Ball” at LA’s Mayan Theatre, when a huge crowd delighted to the triumph of a brilliant album realized in a theatrical setting. The Mutaytor has become to modern music, what Aida was to opera.

Break Science is the culmination of a career of beat bending by its brainchild, Adam Deitch and Borahm Lee, who lends his keyboard soundscapes to Adam’s modern palate. Whether performing a DJ set with drums / programming or helming a live band, Break Science is club music in the vein of a “live mix tape,” blending live trip-hop, broken-beat, dub, drum & bass and hip-hop. Break Science takes Deitch’s hip-hop beats and flips them through drum&bass and a mesh of styles to form a live remix that pushes the boundaries of live electronic music. This is the future – where technique meets technology in a hybrid that only Adam Deitch could imagine.
