New release on the Spirit of Gravity BandCamp label – 2025: Capture the Moment

The new release on the Spirit of Gravity Bandcamp label is an exciting new compilation featuring a variety of vital and interesting works of experimental and electronic music.
In April 2025, a call was circulated for submissions on the broad theme “2025: Capture the moment”. The call was answered by members of the Spirit of Gravity collective, their close associates, and others from the wider experimental / electronic artist community, who all provided unreleased tracks created specifically for this release.

The artists have interpreted the brief variously as an opportunity to capture moments of their own experience and to react to world events – or sometimes a mixture of the two.
Featured artists: Alien Alarms, Rashamon, Frixon Klatt, Spheress, King Dong Quixote, J. G. Ould, Secret Nuclear, I’m Dr Buoyant, Shimmerglisten, Automouse, Urzla, McCloud+1, Screaming Alice, Tigersonic, Warped Love Group, Memory Noise, Rackets, Ascoms and Aunty Morbid

The album can be streamed or downloaded from today at: spiritofgravity.bandcamp.com/album/2025-capture-the-moment

Thursday 2nd October at the Rossi Bar: Rashamon / Perry Frank / Automouse

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.
