Rashamon: Presenting an indulgence of winsome strings & synths from This Morbid Age
Perry Frank: Guitar and synth loop soundscapes, creating imaginary and dreamlike textures
Automouse: Cyclopean Noise Rave-ups!

Formed in 2002 with a deliberate misspelling of the Kurosawa film, Rashamon favours skewed melodic, glitched pop with hip hop and post rock leanings. Has been an on/off act at Spirit of Gravity in Brighton, once got played on Radio 1, had a nice review in the Wire and has some proper releases on all manner of streaming services. Latest stuff to be found at Bandcamp
rashamon.bandcamp.com/

PERRY FRANK is a one man band project of Ambient, Post-Rock and Acoustic Music from Sardinia.
The unique sound of Perry Frank is based on guitar and synth loop soundscapes that create imaginary and dreamy textures on which arpeggios and melodies move with a timeless and spaceless feeling.
The influences are Basinski, Brian Eno, Boards of Canada, Fennesz, Tycho, Bonobo, Robin Guthrie and Harold Budd.

Automouse:
All hardware heavy brain massage. Queer beats to squeeze you until you burst.
Crazed raucous hardware rave-ups of reconstructed dancehall that are a massive hit whenever they play for us.

Glacially evolving ambient music and memories of glaciers are the inspirations behind Remember Glaciers. This project of Jim Purbrick shares the memories of the last people to remember visiting glaciers, as improvised live streamed performances.

This performance recording, entitled ‘Ice Core (Rhône Glacier 2009 and 2024)’ uses fragments of Duncan Porter’s memories of two trips to the glacier, recovered from the past like bubbles of air trapped in ice cores. Glacially slow ambient soundscapes echo and fade, using generative techniques and granular processing.
