extra.resonance.fm/episodes/gravity-waves-and-the-spirit-world-25-year-anniversary-music-to-come-2026-01-25
This first show of the Spirit of Gravity’s 25th year sees us revisiting last year’s Wilde Volk exhibition at Rottingdean windmill, a couple from Zizo’s new E.P. on Patchworks and some tracks from the new compilation from Coastal Electronauts. This month’s show will also be the first in a (probably irregular) series of spotlights on experimental music coming out of various UK cities, starting with Bristol, and the new artist-run platform Music to Come.

Thursday 5th February at the Rossi Bar: ChopChop / rhubiqs / Em-

ChopChop: special electroChopChop set
rhubiqs: experimental electronic & ambient drone
Em-: Hardware and Software modified for a better world

CHOPCHOP’s music snakes round its orator like a slippery thing, cymbals replaced by the clatter of hubcaps on toms, cutlery-jammed guitars – there’s an itchy jazzy vibe to the melodics, fuelled by a fertile imagination full of bruised shapes and punkish angles.

rhubiqs is the solo project of London-based composer and sound designer Tom Squires.
Squires’ music creates a world where Actress meets Kranky, with a side dose of Aphex Twin’s Selected Ambient Works for good measure. These are far-reaching electronic and ambient sounds that provide immersive soundscapes for listeners to lose themselves in amidst thought-provoking textures, samples and field recordings.

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