Avant-wrongdoers Blood Stereo performing in Garthamlock the town spawned them.
Three speakers play back pre-recorded sounds, Marc listens and responds: “What is played is the imperfect witness of what I listen to (or maybe better, how I listen).”
Sax/Drums duo of raucous, pealing noise, and cries of beguiling lyricism, whispered sax phrases float in a timbral cloud of bowed metal and rumbling toms.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
Inspired by the supernatural horror of H. P. Lovecraft, black metal and a sense of worry as to what constitutes an object, or a world.
Durational group-mind drone and clatter: bamboo, electronics, the contents of your local ironmongers bin. A 3-hour set from this legendary Japanese improvisation group.
HEAVY Japanese super group, featuring the sundown delta blues of Kan Mikami, Toshi Ishizuka’s heavy, time folding drumming and Masayoshi Urabe on sax, harmonica and chains.
Cardboard boxes, metal guitar, critical homage, attempts to describe things you can’t describe. A one-man Grand Guignol school play.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
