No, they’re not an electronic take on classical music. Instead, Beethoven (\ b t, -v n\), Electropop is an audacious new foray into the electronic genre. The experimental sound project features Charles G. Gertler ’13 on synthesizer, Patrick W. Lauppe ’13 on saxophone, Benjamin Naddaff-Hafrey ’13 on guitar, and Adam T. Horn ’13 on vocals. (Lauppe is a Crimson Arts editor, while Naddaff-Hafrey and Horn are former Arts executives.) Fans of Harvard bands will recognize Gertler, Lauppe, and Naddaff-Hafrey as members of the band the Nostalgics and Horn and Naddaff-Hafrey as members of Stonewall, formerly known as Stonewall & the Jacksons. Beethoven (\ b t, -v n\), Electropop will give their debut performance on Saturday afternoon on the Harvard Yard Stage. While the members of the group have experience with folk and Motown music, this is their first group performance of upbeat electronic music. Unlike many synth-heavy performances in this genre, this one will be distinguished by the addition of analog instrumentation. “I think that’s the point of Arts First— just to give things a go,” Gertler says.
