Carl (SOLOVOX) is a dynamic synth artist and music director highly sought after in the Pacific Northwest for his unique approach to sonic exploration. I’m excited to discover his new quadrophonic live sound for his show with Floydian Slips Pink Floyd tribute forthcoming in Eugene September 21.

A producer, composer, and one-man synthesizer attack squad, Solovox is the sound of Earl Carlton Tietze III. He combines his original compositions of nasty future-funk, electro-house, and melodic downtempo with his remixes of other artists’ tracks to create a sound that is his and his alone…and he does it live, by hand.

His keyboard chops remind one of Herbie Hancock smashing head-on into the Chemical Brothers. Mayhem usually ensues, and he consistently delivers one of the finest live electronic shows available anywhere.

He has remixed three tracks for Vokab Kompany including ‘Shine’ featuring Souleye, ‘Gunslinger‘ for their album ‘Quit Sleep,’ and ‘Let It Fly’ featuring The Grouch and Souleye. He has done full video game sound design and composition, as well as tracks for Burn Notice and A&E’s Biography. He is a sought-after instructor for Ableton Live, Reason, Cubase and electronic music production.

In July of 2009 he became the first-ever all-electronic act in the history of The Oregon Country Fair for their 40th Anniversary. He also headlined San Diego’s Elysium Festival, Mexico’s Fuente Eterno festival, Nexus in Los Angeles, and almost killed 2,000 revelers on top of the Hawthorne Bridge in 2010 for BridgeFest, causing the bridge to sway 2 feet up and down.

He has shared the bill with Orbital, Bassnectar, Beats Antique, Ott, Tipper, and countless others. In 2012 he was a featured performer at Inspire:Truth, Threshold, WhiteOut, and the inaugural What The Festival in Oregon. In October 2012 he was featured on OPB’s ‘Oregon Art Beat.’

In 2013 he performed in Southern California, Idaho’s Sun Valley, as well as numerous shows in the Northwest at festivals like Human Nature and What The Festival. 2014 saw the release of his CD ‘Daring Feats Of Leisure,’ highlighting the best moments from his Friday Afternoon Concerts…a live podcast most Fridays at 3pm (Pacific) where he improvises and performs live from his studio to an online audience.

Whether improvising heavily with a downtempo acid jazz set or laying down dance tracks for the dancing crowds, Solovox is not a DJ…he is one of the most exciting electronic performers to be found anywhere.

As mentioned in today’s episode, here’s footage of the entire 1975 Pink Floyd album ‘Wish You Were Here’ performed in its entirety by The Floydian Slips. April 13, 2024 at Revolution Hall, Portland Oregon:

Ian and I met onstage in London during the recent UK Tour with A Flock of Seagulls, and instantly hit it off. His focus on rhythm, compassion and musicality brought forth conversation about his work for decades with Pink Floyd, Paul and Linda McCartney, Duran Duran, Ridley Scott and so many more. Ian shares some fun peeks into what conversations with David Gilmour and Roger Waters consist of.

We were joined by my pal Ken Glynn, who was inspired by early works by Mr. Emes, and brought inspired conversation about the concepts behind his work. Discussions of what we can do as citizens of the planet to voice our support for causes like global injustices, why creativity is so important to bring us together in life, and how technology can help shape that connection.

Ian Ronald Emes is a British artist and film director. He is known for using innovative and experimental film techniques, and for being Pink Floyd’s original animator. Emes’ animations have featured in major exhibitions, including Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains at the V&A and the National Film Theatre Retrospective.
