New release on the Spirit of Gravity BandCamp label: WASPS – Satellites

Posted on by Spirit of Gravity

Another Spirit of Gravity release has been launched on bandcamp – Satellites by WASPS 

WASPS are Andrew Greaves and Dan Powell, both members of the Spirit of Gravity music collective. ‘Satellites’ is their first release as WASPS. Its three tracks use found objects and understated layering of digital and analogue synths to create atmospheric pieces of great economy and beauty. There is abstraction, fragmentary melodies, and plenty of light, shade, and space.

The germ of the album was sown with successful, largely improvised live collaborations at the Rose Hill and, under the Spirit of Gravity banner, at the Rossi Bar. ‘Satellites’ too was mostly improvised, and was recorded in a single day at ChiffChaff Studios in Brighton in late 2025. The duo then spent the long winter evenings mixing the recordings.

Paradise Nothing: creates experimental deconstructed beats, drawing influence from Algerian françarabe

Neo Geodesia is the recording name of Saphy Vong (born 1982), an experimental electronic music producer and composer born to Cambodian parents, raised in Nancy, France, and currently based in Brighton, UK. He is known for creating intricate electronic music that is characterised by its emphasis on melody and hypnotic pacing, conceptually stylised structures and extreme use of audio processing techniques.
Early incarnations of Neo Geodesia date back to the mid 2000s when performing under the moniker Lafidki. That project saw him begin using the stylistic forms of electronic and experimental music, combined with the structure and abrasiveness of noise music. He has released on Orange Milk records before founding Chinabot, a collective of Asian artists. In 2021 he released his LP ‘2562 Neon Flames’ on Chinabot, which focused heavily on experimental funeral compositions.
His work has been extensively presented in festivals and venues across the world such as the Tate Modern, Hyperdub night, Pitchfork Festival in London, Act Festival Asia Culture Center in Gwangju, Lost Music Festival in Parma, and Unsafe+Sounds Festival in Vienna.

Astral Engineering is an ambient music project employing algorithmic systems and indeterminacy in the production of layered sonic textures. Processed field recordings connect the chaos of the natural and mathematical worlds.
