Vigil es el proyecto de DJ de Tyler Vigil, un DJ estadounidense originario de Texas y residente de Nueva York desde hace mucho tiempo. Vigil irrumpió en la escena de Nueva York como la mitad del dúo de DJ #whiteowljaguar. Si bien ese proyecto estuvo fuertemente influenciado por el minimal house + techno y la escena electrónica rumana, Vigil ha experimentado nuevas exploraciones sonoras el año pasado. Emprendió un viaje musical para expandir sus horizontes sonoros, y actualmente está tratando de capturar sonidos, ritmos y melodías del mundo en sets con más eclecticismo y musicalidad pero siempre tratando de mantener la esencia dance de la música House y Techno.  

Para TM012, Vigil expresa diferentes emociones y sensaciones derivadas de un episodio de Covid-19 que tuvo los días en que grabó la mezcla. Y así creó una metáfora musical con tonos oscuros pero con una resolución luminosa que lleva a los oyentes desde las sombras hasta lo alto de las nubes. Varios géneros como house, minimal house y techno se escuchan en sus formas puras, pero poco a poco esos sonidos maduran en texturas únicas y novedosas.

Vigil is the DJ project of Tyler Vigil, an American DJ originally from Texas and a long-time New York resident. Vigil broke into the New York scene as one half of the DJ duo #whiteowljaguar. While that project was strongly influenced by minimal house + techno and the Romanian electronic scene, Vigil has undergone new sound explorations in the past year. He undertook a musical journey to expand his sonic horizons, and is currently trying to capture sounds, rhythms and melodies of the world in DJ sets with more eclecticism and musicality but always trying to maintain the dance essence of House and Techno music.

For TM012, Vigil expresses different emotions and sensations derived from an episode of Covid-19 that he had the days when he recorded the mix. And he thus created a musical metaphor with dark tones but with a luminous resolution that takes listeners from the shadows to the top of the clouds. Various genres such as house, minimal house and techno are heard in their pure forms, but little by little those sounds mature into unique and novel textures.

whiteowljaguar plugs in to transport the human into alternate space and ancient, carnal “deep time.”  The duo’s sounds and environments shake away the extraneous, revealing the raw.

Assembled in 2012, Tyler Vigil and Rebecca-Emma Kaplan (Dollpartz) blended sounds to produce whiteowljaguar and Talon&Claw Productions, an initiative to expel the mundane through virile vibrations and inspired genuine presence.

Vigil, whose ten years of DJing has dipped his hands and ears in genres from breaks to minimal and beyond, uses his architectural mind to build sound that molds space and towers over: sound to behold.  A lifelong relationship with percussion lays his framework; his designed roar brings chambers of depth to the whiteowljaguar sound and Talon&Claw vision.

The newer ear of Dollpartz brings the electro-pop-culture influence of her time and the bows, lollipops, and balloons of her heart.  With a taste for girlie vocals and deep, dirty, hooting night owl bass, she blends the light and dark to aim at the authentic.

The Talon&Claw production instigates mobility- a dig deep inside and a great reach outward, an active celebration of truth and joy.  It is a mission to bring the best new, underground electronic music to New York City.

Qi (Vital Life Force / Energy) Mono (Thing / Physical Object). Born from Polish immigrant parents in Chicago, Roman got his start in music by imitating fart noises his brother made using the armpit and mouth. After much experimentation and success in the classroom with these sounds, he eventually progressed to become one of the founding members of the musical group, "The Retarded Jellybeans" in junior high school. The group was named after the jellybeans that you can get for bulk discount prices because they were rejected due to their misshapen (is that really how you spell that?) appearance but taste just as good as the full-priced ones. The band never achieved commercial success because none of the members knew how to play any musical instruments, though the vision to put something good into the world remained. Roman spent lots of his parents hard earned money on instruments in tutors, dabbling in the drums, cello, guitar, bass, harmonica, flute, spoons (in his later years he would discover his true calling: the rubber chicken). Anyway, back to the bio. 

Eventually, at the age of 15, he purchased a set of dope-ass Technic 1200MK2 turntables from one of his brother's best friends, Remy. He started spinning with little success because beatmatching is hard, especially on vinyl, and even more so when you're a horny, pimply-faced, bored socially awkward teenager. 

Roman thrived in the underground Chicago electronic scene, often getting compliments like "nice dance moves" after exiting the dance floor, feeling naked and seen while rolling on pressed pills and then regretting having taken said pressed pills when they were wearing off and the sun was coming through the blinds and he could hear his mom making breakfast on Sunday morning, paranoid that she would find out that he was doing drugs and thinking about the fact that maybe he was a bad child. But he wasn't a bad child, because there is no such thing as bad children. 

In time, he would get slightly better at beatmatching and go on to live around the world, playing in S. Korea, Tokyo, a residency at the infamous Purple 33 in Los Angeles, New York, Berlin, and other impressive festivals and places and stuff, very impressive stuff really. Really good stuff, very impressive. 

Anyway, enough about him. How are you doing? Good I hope. But you can't be good all the time, that's too much pressure, don't do that to yourself. But remember to breath into your belly if you can, that shit's important. And floss sometimes, that's important too.

Oh, also his dad was a superhero and helped with the fall of the Berlin wall, so you're welcome I guess? Ok thanks bye.
