Julius’ “small music” features simple snatches of found sound, played back through small speakers, often set in bowls of pigment and dirt which shimmies in the vibrations.
The worlds leading radio art station brings you: a performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test.
A dense, hard, immersive, chaotic spatial performance in sound: a momentary gap in consciousness, free of order or decision.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
Edinburgh. Beer and smoke befuddled drone/ deadly efforts by Pjorn72 kingpin.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
Black Boned Angel’s is a rock sound, stripped of all extraneous detail right down to its core, stretched out and nailed to the ceiling.
Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
Slowly evolving ultra-subtle harmonics and multi-tracked, otherworldly drones that only reveal their true power at high volume.
