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

Slow Slow Loris is a duo whose industrial noise melodies merge with emotional avant-garde to create epic and delicate storms of sound that worship the unknown, a sonic sorcery through voice and electronics. Based in both Berlin and the US, they have released albums on Cloister Recordings, Zaetraom, & Staaltape and have toured Europe, Russia, and the USA.

New release on the Spirit of Gravity BandCamp label – OGUNURO by GUN BOILER

The latest Spirit of Gravity Bandcamp label release is OGUNURO by GUN BOILER.

GUN BOILER represents the darkest sides of humanity; our shadow selves personified.

In this live selection of auditory panic attacks, GUN BOILER delivers an incendiary and unrelenting visceral experience – encapsulating vicious nocturnal disturbances driven by frantic and unhinged psychological warfare.

This release is an entirely live and unedited recording of pulverising performances at Spirit of Gravity (December 2023) and More Kicks Than Friends (March 2024).

‘This Gun Boiler is nuts!!! Some great sounds over the drums.’ – Cosey Fanni Tutti

Stream or download (£4) here: https://spiritofgravity.bandcamp.com/album/ogunoru

All proceeds will go to Mind in Brighton and Hove, which provides a range of advice and information, advocacy and support services to empower anyone experiencing a mental health issue to live a full life and play a full part in society.

Thursday 7th August at the Rossi Bar: Digital Roses / Simon Heartfield / Partial Wave Child

Digital Roses: Trippy electronica, earth shattering vocals
Simon Heartfield: Analogue spatial post-techno
Partial Wave Child: “Above Fire Below the Lake”

Digital Roses conjure a world of haunted memories and shimmering noise, where wistful, soulful vocals weave through Nordic noir electronica and synthesised incantations. Based in London, this queer duo crafts sonic performances that blur the boundaries between sound art, audiovisual ritual, and experimental pop. Also they have produced multimedia Quasi Operas, like their sold-out debut Noise Petals and Narrative in Time and Space at Wandsworth Fringe, summoning dancers, poets, and projections into a multisensory rite.

New Simon Heartfield live set based on tracks performed at Glasgow’s Attack/Release, Oxford O2 Academy and Portsmouth’s Syncing Not Swimming events with Kayla Painter, Sulk Rooms, Halina Rice and Bunkr. Expect deep spatial textured post-techno sounds using Elektron Analog Four, Digitakt and Model Cycles

Above Fire Below the Lake* is an improvised electroacoustic performance for augmented flute by Partial Wave Child. Jockel Liess and Geoixos use a purpose-built software environment to extend the flute’s capabilities, creating a seamless tapestry of live-processed, manipulated, and sampled sounds.
The performance explores a wide range of flute techniques, from breath tones to high pitch partials, blending them with live sampled electronic textures. Guided by a score outlining 12 modal areas, this piece is an indeterminate journey through a dynamic musical terrain, weaving rhythms and tonalities fluidily into an ever-evolving soundscape. Take a moment to exist alongside this piece of performance art that fuses musical concepts in seeming opposition, transforming the space into one of unpredictable beauty and tension.
