A new release from Spirit of Gravity is out now – Spherical Dancefloor by McCloud.
McCloud – otherwise Geoff Cheesemaster – presents a three-track mini-album of intense and introspective minimalism. Partly recorded live, it packs a scratchy rhythmic punch.
It all started when he bought a drum machine. “Two years on, the sounds I had inside finally came out of my mind, down through my arms and into my kit” he says, “I’ve been performing these two pieces for the last few shows and enjoying them very much. Each one is different.”

The album can be downloaded or streamed here: spiritofgravity.bandcamp.com/album/spherical-dancehall

Dale Frost: Displaced/fractured polyrhythms glitched loops and electronics
Sophie Sirota: Viola, electronics, loops and ambient soundscapes
Nanonic: Drones leads to distorted bass & beats

Dale Frost: Displaced beats, fractured polyrhythms, glitched loops and tightly interwoven electronics. All underpinned by an ideology of process-based rhythmic systems. He has previously played alongside Talvin Singh, Xylitol, Memorials and The Field. Recent collaborations include Gold Panda and Benefits.
