A good
electronica show seems harder and harder to find these days, especially in Milwaukee’s cover-heavy
local bar scene. Competing for audiences against old house and techno standbys
is a new kind of cerebral, “dance-in-place” music tailor made for iPod
playlists than discos. In this spirit, tonight two members of the
ambient-electric Collections of Colonies of Bees showcase their side projects
when All Tiny Creatures and Chris Rosenau share a 9:30 p.m. bill at the Cactus
Club. Whereas Collections was more about bridging the gap between electronic
and instrumentation, All Tiny Creatures feels more stripped down and
repetitious. It’s not quite as grand and calculated as Collections, but remains
nonetheless entertaining in its improvisation.
