Martin Chick: Noise, beats and modular tweaks.
Resting Pulse: Apocalyptic Sounds
Melinda Bronstein: Melancholy vocals and Casiotone drones

Martin Chick: Live not dead. Modular bursts and clusters firing like sonic snipers targeting synaesthetic synapses; a strafe across your cranium to jerk your limbs to life. He’s given up lugging his bulky old synthesisers in favour of lugging about a monster modular set up, which he uses to fire up a right old racket. Just how we like it.

Resting Pulse: Andy (Monsters Build Mean Robots, Court of Hidden Faces, Winter at Sea, etc.) puts down the tools of post-rock to bring you an uneasy atmosphere & apocalyptic beats from a device that reacts as much to the surrounding environment and the performers’ own conductivity as it does to their will or programmed sequences. We witnessed this encounter of man vs. machine in the basement of The Brunswick and invited another round for the Spirit of Gravity’s stage.

Melinda Bronstein: Melancholy atmospheres, improvised vocal drone loops, casiotone, found objects, noises and toyses, magic in the mundane.

Chris [Symmetrical Forces] creates live visuals for each performance using his own lo-fi footage, dusty VHS tapes and obscure videos from the internet to create futuristic images from the past overlayed with out-of-reach memories and vague fragments of lost visions.

The Rossi Bar is a small grade II building, and they are restricted with how they can improve access for anyone with mobility issues. The live music venue is located in the basement, which can only be accessed by a short spiral staircase. More accessibility information and images of the venue are in this document:
