Henry Collins & Chase Coley / Hyacinth Bucket and the Magical Testicles Filled with Thousands of Bumble Bees and the Essence of Creation
Meljoann: Deconstructed R&B beats
Luuma: Feedback systems & DIY instruments

Henry Oolli Collins: Nothing I can write will prepare you for what Henry Collins is going to do. A sound artist operating always at the limits of music, although he’s most famous for hist frenzied Shitmat alter ego, he’s also produced considered electronica, free improv rummaging, an album of the Sound of Music without music, and who could forget the exercise bike hurdy-gurdy. Look at these but do not consider them to be useful in working out what the performance will be like.

Something slightly different from the head of our Gravitons live streaming organiser; Meljoann puts aside her usual high concept performances for something special just for us.

Luuma will be be summoning homemade instruments into life to render a live remix of his recent release Ffroeds (on Flaming Pines). Created with DIY electronics, unruly string instruments, self-modulating analogue synths, erratic machine learning models and esoteric sound synthesis, Ffroeds is a series of experiments into the (edge of) chaotic world of musical feedback systems.
