New release on the Spirit of Gravity BandCamp label: 25

Posted on by Spirit of Gravity

The Spirit of Gravity was founded in 2001 by Nick Rilke and Tony Rimbaud, to provide a platform for live experimental electronic music.

Before long it gathered a nucleus of local musicians and was attracting artists from around the world.

As part of the 25th birthday celebrations this year for the Spirit of Gravity, we wanted to release a compilation CD, to expand on the vinyl LP format we used for our 21st, and include artists old and new who we have loved over the years. There are a few missing for various reasons, but we’re very happy with the outcome. This release is available in strictly limited CD form or as a digital download.

Thursday 5th November at the Rossi Bar: Athina B / Jilk / Baltic Snake Cult

Posted on by Spirit of Gravity

Athina B: The sounds of twilight, halfway between dream & memory
Jilk: Ambient glitch, jazz & emotive melodic ashes
Baltic Snake Cult: deep bass drift

Named for a Brighton shipwreck and a fragment of a Slum of Legs lyric, Athina B are a band playing from the liminal spaces – capturing the sounds of twilight, halfway between dream and memory where birds are caught midflight, lit by a setting sun. Helmed by local favourites YOU&TH and R. Dyer, with occasional guests and passers through, they turn found sounds, layered violin, bells, polyrhythms, harps, chants and charms into semi-improvised paeans to time and life and joy. With only a few performances to their name, they’ve already built a reputation for riveting performances and incredible on-stage chemistry. Not to be missed.
FFO: Dirty Three, Laurie Anderson, Lau nau, Haress, Kronos Quartet

Jilk – (previous releases; Cue Dot Records, Castles In Space, Project Mooncircle and Bricolage) are a Bristol based experimental collective.
This specially written show for Spirit Of Gravity will explore the intersection between ambient glitch, experimental, jazz infused drumming and emotive melodic washes.

Baltic Snake Cult – deep bass drift down the infinite corridors of the endless scroll. Dumb research, dubious methods.
