Beat Research<\/a> is sad to announce that after 7.5 years of hosting our experimental party music, the Enormous Room is closing its doors<\/a>. DJ Flack and I were pretty surprised when the rumors started circulating last Tuesday that this past weekend would be the club’s last, but we felt like we went out with a bang with last week’s visit from Mungo’s Hi-Fi<\/a>, even if we didn’t realize it was a farewell party at the time. <\/p>\n

Grateful as we feel toward our longtime home, we’re not feeling much like mourning the past. Rather, we’re excited about the future of Beat Research, which is looking bright. Although we’re not ready quite yet to confirm the details on our new location, we’re psyched to report that we’ll be holding a special interim bash at the nearby Middlesex Lounge<\/a> next Monday (10\/17), in conjunction with friends from MIT\/Japan<\/a> and NYC! <\/p>\n

Come join us at 10pm on 10\/17 for a chance to dance with Japan’s leading virtual idol, Hatsune Miku<\/a>, a software-based singer whose biggest fans are also her songwriters! Some of Miku’s creators, visiting from Japan, will be on hand to discuss the phenomenon and to demonstrate a prototype projection method for her live concerts. Here’s a taste of what that looks like (but be sure to browse YouTube<\/a> or Niconico<\/a> for hundreds of amazing “crowdsourced” videos)–<\/p>\n
