WHAT: On Saturday, June 15, Screenblast will host a special LIVE
performance in the Sony Style store @ Metreon. Innovative female
producer, remixer and composer The Angel will take the Sony Style
stage to DJ, spinning exclusive remixes and tracks from her album,
"No Gravity." Grammy and B.E.T. award nominee Mystic will join
her in this rare, intimate performance.
WHEN: Saturday, June 15. **Performance begins at 3 p.m.**
WHERE: Sony Style at Metreon
101 4th Street, San Francisco (Cross Streets: 4th and Mission)
WHO:
-- The Angel: Renowned for pioneering a sound that is both urban and
electronic, The Angel has charted unparalleled ground as a woman in a
male-dominated industry blending her skills as a producer, film
composer, programmer, remixer, and DJ. The scope of her work includes
film scoring for "Boiler Room" and "Gridlock'd" as well as producing
and cultivating artists such as Mystic, Navigator (of The Freestylers)
and Tre Hardson (of The Pharcyde) to name just a few. She, herself,
cannot be defined.
-- Mystic: An artist's work is usually as interesting as their own lives.
That's why some of our best artists are those who have experienced the
most. Mystic demonstrates that type of artistic depth as she draws
from her own far-reaching experience on her dynamic debut album, "Cuts
for Luck and Scars for Freedom." On the album's 16 songs, the
California performer raps, sings and delivers spoken word poetry over
an addictive assembly of eclectic beats.
**THE FOLLOWING INTERVIEW/PHOTO OPS AVAILABLE ON SATURDAY**
-- At 2 p.m., meet the critically acclaimed "The Angel."
Prior to her performance, The Angel will preview her latest
collaboration with Screenblast - Digital Soundclash

production studio for computers and digital devices. She'll
demonstrate how easy and accessible it is for virtually anyone to make
music -- or a soundtrack for his or her own home movie.

-- The Angel also will be available prior to and just following her
performance to talk about the digital music revolution and
technology's impact on creativity.
In collaborating on Digital Soundclash, The Angel has said, "Since I
first started making music, technology has been an enabler for my
artistic expression. Today the computer serves as the new digital
recording environment, making it accessible for anyone interested in
music to immerse themselves in the creative experience. I wanted
music lovers of all levels to have a place to create, swap loops,
collaborate, try different things -- and find their voice."
