7th May netlabel release: Behind the Shutters

The Spirit of Gravity is finding ways to keep the unusual sounds flowing under lockdown. Exclusive tracks by the artists who had kindly agreed to appear at our May show – and then just as kindly agreed not to appear – are now available as a netlabel release: ‘Behind the shutters’.

Vera Bremerton is a classically trained vocalist who specialises in extended technique. ‘Blends classical harmonies with industrial, avantgarde, techno beats and aggressive sounds.’
https://verabremerton.bandcamp.com/

Yorkshire Modular Society is Dominick Schofield, and ‘is an ethos of creation by way of listening. It is truly formless, without beginning or end, like a great ashen tree beneath the Earth’s crust, whose roots penetrate the skies.’
https://yorkshiremodularsociety.bandcamp.com/

midierror is Spirit of Gravity collective member Chris. ‘Synth Explorer, Renoiser, Sample Maker, MIDI Idiot, Community Music maker, Film Fan, Sky Watcher, Photo Chap, Own Worst Enemy.’
