Harvard Film Archive, Room B-04, Carpenter Center, 24 Quincy St., Cambridge, 7 p.m. Free.

Freaky Techno

Non-Event brings two enthralling electronic musicians to Chinatown tonight. Peter Rehberg, well-known for his collaborations with Christian Fennesz and Jim O'Rourke, runs the record label Mego, the clearinghouse for disjointed and noisy techno music. His music is piercingly weird and highly dynamic, shifting from moments of silence to mind-numbing noise. Marcus Schmickler makes electronic music in a new music style, inspired by his time in conservatory with Stockhausan's pupil Johannes Fritsch. DJ Ning Nong to spin between sets. 17 Edinboro St., #3, Chinatown, 9 p.m. $10.

The Playoffs

Everything is on the line tonight as the Bruins seek to avoid elimination in Raleigh at the hands of the cheap-shot artists in the red and black. Meanwhile, the Celtics look to get all James Randi on the Magic. Join Bostonist's playoffs liveblog(s) while you watch. Any living room or bar, 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Free.
