Music
DJ
Goz
Producer Michael Gosney began DJing in 1997. He plays primarily private/underground
parties and Anon Salon events, but has also played larger venues, such
as Maritime Hall, Avalon Ballroom and the Fillmore in San Francisco as
well as festivals including Burning Man (Emerald City, Church
of WOW), Green
Festival, Fusion and Earthdance.
CyberSet
Music
Matt Marshall and Michael Gosney, after working together at Higher Octave
Music (which in late 2003 was merged into sister EMI label Narada Music),
are launching Cyberset in the fall of 2004, a "new edge" record label
with artists from California and Europe.
Radio-V
The Radio-V.com web channel was launched by Verbum in early 1998 with
streaming DJ mixes, online Beam magazine, digital download catalog of
top independent trance and drum and bass labels, and the weekly "Radio-V
Hour" radio program aired on public and college radio stations across
the U.S. Although the archive site is still on the web, Radio-V ceased
operations in late 2000.
Earthdance
The Verbum collective and Michael Gosney have supported the Earthdance
project since founder Chris Deckker moved from London to San Francisco
and shared space with Radio-V Studios. Earthdance is developing its 8th
Global Dance Party for Peace, synchronizing over 120 events in 50 countries
on September 18, 2004.
Anon
Salon
Since the early cyberculture days (late '80s) Verbum intersected with
Anon Salon via the community galvanized by the Verbum Journal and Verbum
Interactive CD-ROM projects, but mostly through the annual Digital Be-In
held each January in San Francisco. Joegh Bullock, Marcia Crosby and Mark
Petrakis produced the monthly mini-Be-Ins - the Anon Salons - that showcased,
in an ever-morphing multiroom interactive party, the melding of SF's theater-cyber-psychedelic
cultures. Today, the Anon crew continues to produce state-of-the-art events
in the Bay Area, at Burning Man, and beyond. Goz is a resident Anon Salon
DJ, and Verbum co-produces events with the Anon circle from time to time.
