21/11/24 #96: An evening of eclectic sonics with:
adam james davis [ambient sound poetry] Adam is a
Nottingham-based wordsmith who embraces the beauty of the English
language to deliver cosy and relaxing poems inspired by the seaside,
seasons, and sensuous moments, poems that have a gentle rhythm, like
the rocking of a boat, the beacon of a lighthouse, or the beating of
a relaxed heart. His words will be accompanied by live loops and
atmospherics.
https://weirdgarden.bandcamp.com/album/spinning-orbs-of-light
remi fox-novák [marbles & spinning tops] Through
the gurgle and pop of patch cables and contact mics, Remi Fox-Novák
playfully stretches the resonances of objects, seeking emotive
potential in the spectral gaps. Member of the agitprop collective
Surfacing and the mysterious British Wine label, Fox-Novák sets
aside his techno impulses (recent album Deep Clean) for an adventure
through heart felt improv and technical experimentation.
https://britishwine.bandcamp.com/album/subpeonas-volume-1
the keeling curve [electronics & violin] The
Keeling Curve play ‘churchy minimalism’ (Noel Gardner) using violin
and modular synthesizers. Their music explores relationships to
environment and place using drones, loops, and field recordings.
Expect blissed out catharsis with music from their new album Plaques
Entangled.

£10 OTD, music starts at 7:30pm or thereabouts, so don't be late! |
