Thursday 5th June at the Rossi Bar: Kina:Suttsu + E-Da / Ingrid Plum / Spheress

Kina:Suttsu + E-Da: Animism-Inspired Music of Sensory and Altered States
Ingrid Plum: Voice & electronics: previewing a new set.
Spheress: Improvised feedback-driven techno

Kina:Suttsu +E-Da
From the spirit of animism, a symphony of layered sound is born — a vessel of altered consciousness, carried on waves of sensation.
These tones do not merely reach the ears; they whisper to each cell, drawing you gently into trance.
In this sacred resonance, the self dissolves.
The veil lifts.
You and the world become one breath, one awareness.
And in this journey, E-Da (formerly of Boredoms and Seefeel) joins us, guiding the pulse on percussion.

Ingrid Plum
‘Gorgeously atmospheric vocal techniques woven around field recordings & electronics’ – The Guardian
“Plum makes the metaphysical singable, the immense relatable. She blurs auto-theory, the mixing of the philosophical with the personal, and psychogeography, the influence of environment on the psyche. Sonically, Corporeality is a flickering collage of buzzing synths hitting field recordings, fragments of speech and Plum’s own angelic voice.” – The Quietus
Ingrid is working on some new pieces which she will be performing live for the first time, with the working title of ‘Wayfaring Requiem’.

Spheress
“Spheress is open to feedback!  🙂  Any feedback given will be taken and plugged into channel 1 and fed back and fed back and fed back and fed back and fed back and fed back and fed back and fed back and fed back and fed back and fed back an – wait this sounds pretty good, let’s put a beat over it!

Thursday 1st May at the Rossi Bar: Soborgnost / Thee Boxx Menn / Em-

Soborgnost: Lofi dubwave, dance-punk mutations
Thee Boxx Menn: Analogue Lofi tracks from alternative dimensions
Em-: Hardware and software modified for a better world

Soborgnost is sci-fi dance punk at the intersection of vaporwave, minimal wave, disco dub, industrial, EBM, proto-house, drone and noise.
Using a hardware sampler to emulate dub mixing, looping post-punk style basslines with chuggy, lo-fi beats. Warped analogue textures are added with cassette tape manipulation, electro magnetic frequency transmitters, shortwave radio, harsh noise generator and dub sirens.

In the shadowy corner of Brighton’s underground music scene, a pair of eccentric synth wizards emerged under the enigmatic moniker, Thee Boxx Menn. They were two renegades of rhythm and noise, rebels armed with synthesizers and the wild spirit of lo-fi experimentation.
Thee Boxx Menn were more than an electronic act. They were architects of sound, dream weavers, and the harbingers of a new sonic era a legacy unfolding between the lines of melody and harmony, waiting to resonate in the hearts and minds of those who dared to listen.
Crafting lo-fi tracks that felt like transmissions from alternate dimensions. Their live shows became legendary. They’d cloak the stage in mist, their silhouettes obscured as the pulsing synths and eerie melodies carried audiences on otherworldly journeys. Each performance felt like a ritual, a communion between human creativity and the forgotten whispers of technology.
Music held powers far beyond their understanding. Thee Boxx Menn didn’t just make music; they became the medium through which otherworldly energies found their voice.

Em― presents a live electronic music performance that revels in the whimsy and ferocity of continuously evolving ideas, consisting of dense synthetic textures, playful glitchy grooves and moments of accelerating chaos.  Behind the wheel is musician and electronic music producer June Kiff, utilising her live music ecosystem, “emsys”, composed of drum machines and various custom devices, in service of the transformation of nonsense.
