Jason Corder and Carl Ritger will perform as Offthesky & Radere this Saturday at the Sidewinder Tavern. Each has been a prolific composer of entrancing sounds for more than a decade. Chances are you haven't heard their work in a club, but they've performed at the Communikey Festival in Boulder. Corder showed his prowess for visual art as well when he created videos to accompany his music during a set opening for synthesizer pioneer Morton Subotnick in 2012. That same year, Ritger's gritty, transporting and blurred guitar-tone drones prepared the audience for a performance by Tim Hecker. This year, the two joined forces for a collaborative project called The Season of Lost Buttons. The album's sculpted and processed noises evoke the feeling of flying in your dreams.
