“yeah the hider

yongrak activeates that dark breath in my ‘chest wall’
oozing (weezing) out like speaking the leaking spout

the gammar is taken off
gamma takeoff
grammes
the darkness of game

decomposition and clay retrieval

smuggling clairty in rotoscopic lava

“atrocios”

”-itis’ (disease idea)

so heavy you cuold never lift it and then it rushes your blending (flenders II) (HURLY IFLENDS)

did i give you rotten mound permissions

Bask in this knowledge bath
Basking like shark
“bath” (graey water)

talk about ‘beaks’ ‘mouth’ ‘melt’ ‘weak’

head carve
and each slice reveals hendred four new old worlds

Martin relegation hile filve

VORE spacial Em rotery

every word is subject to change, every word is subject to chance, every word is under the scent, every word is under the weight of it and under the bed, under the hill running under us like deep savage sewer
every word is in “quotations” every word is in vocalic choke hold, vocalic colic, vocalised rize and local rice

“nerve gaga”
harry ‘Plotts’
Yerng Woosh

It sounds like waste with an attention to science
It sounds like haste with slowness alliance
It sounds like taste of ceffalize nevermine

garstly expediency
running through lanes hooting
moola lanes

There is a sense of biology a nervous biologeme a biology of language
might sound silly might sound defunct but I’m rolling around
I’m rolling around in the callous victim of cartoon idea
the fallus whip
little metal script
high tide my life scrolls past
tiddle war happy leggo tiddle war
flipping to them

the body of the name and the name of the body
and so much can happyen in twenny secons
fortey naine seconds hellish remainder plain stark fish flinger

tcker tape acknowlegesys the remidner that truth remains in the length
up and down, left and right, through and through
long through my team of loose screw tighten and rubbish them the men the you
I’m led by a string of socking sound that extends beyond my many men like 50 cent
Hundred bags forteen bags the ninestyle rags the hyper ‘sags’
the usage of quotation the talking the station I’m generation I’m generating elocquation
electriquaytion

and is junking through the pile even really necessary
thats i what find mytself asking to myself
hard back dust sack must

all emerging from the darkness
nothing in the light
the dark is the hot light
this is language disbanded from the mouth mouth
language got hunted down lang dspreay

and now i want to tell everyone “shitu p” if they tell me the AI, the after space the last city in the world and The alien is getting me, i tant to tell them ‘lose you’ if you tell tme this is technology at the end, this is the game, this is ‘Japan’ i tell tehm ‘goodbye’ take the piss mate. this is not the thought from that place this is more than you could ever imagine. its within the crux and the plex, hunting from the beginning and never finding. Indle spiralling into the thicket stash. Hilling the running the lung got caught on the brush.”

This month’s show features a dark mix from Mohammad Adam, as invited by new guest editor Think Twice, plus an hour’s worth of live, generative ambience by Remember Glaciers.

Karl M V Waugh: Hypnodrone osmosis + video meditations
Rashamon: Soul diving temperamental pre-apocalyptic mannerisms
Cour’en: Feminist noise EBN fusion

Karl M V Waugh presents a new Audio Visual project especially for The Spirit of Gravity.
Music | disillusiondotdotdot (bandcamp.com)
Following his album of social anxiety skewed Acid Pop (the cheekily titled ‘A Return to Form) and his whopping great mix album shortly after (‘A Form to Return’), Rashamon has been busy burrowing away at a more refined sound for his next project.
Trying to stay one step ahead of himself and beginning with ‘Cringe’ releasing on 31st October, the direction spins towards more legitimate songs in the dancehall.  Having dabbled with vocals on previous tracks ‘Sudden Moves’ and ‘Honey Monster’, Rashamon has retreated behind the flourishing beats and bobs in order to conduct AI to express his thoughts on the weight of a generation in this pre-apocalyptic world.
For his live sets, however, he will be veering more into the experimental on the go remixing and introducing the world to embryonic tracks from the next album alongside updated old favourites.  Expect breakbeats and bedlam, bleeps and whistles and scintillating dives into retro Futurism as Rashamon continues to plough forward with the seeds of what came before.

Cour’en (the apostrophe is a London “t” or glottal stop) is an act 35 years in the making, born of a mutual love for noisy pop and raucous electronic music. Cour’en mix raw vintage synthesisers with words & extreme guitar strangling to sum up their lives so far. The result is a blend of spartan Electronic Body Music, Noise Rock & feminism.

“The Spirit of Gravity: making experimental music a threat again – since 2001”

Nina Kohout: Dark electronica, classical & eerie Slavic folklore
Ron Caines / Andrew Greaves / I’m Dr Buoyant: Sax, synth and samples in sync
The Organ Grinder’s Monkey: Guitar loops, breakbeats and glitch FX

Nina Kohout is a sonic storyteller who pushes the boundaries of musical obedience, forming a constant conversation between an invasive horror and a fragile purity. In her music, she connects the eerie atmosphere of ancient Slovak folklore, classical music elements, and the freshness of innovative electronica.
In 2020, Slovakia-born, UK-based artist Nina Kohout won the Radio_Head award for the Newcomer of the Year (curated by the Slovak national radio), which she received for her debut single Blue Sunray. Her critically acclaimed debut EP Pandemonium (incl. the song Moonlight featured as the Song of the Day by KEXP Radio) got Nina’s name mentioned in BBC Radio and music magazines such as Under the Radar, Louder than War, and Electronic Sound magazine. Her past shows include playing at the iconic Kino Šiška in Ljubljana, the United Islands of Prague, the Ahoi! Pop Festival in Linz, as well as the biggest Slovak festival Pohoda.
At the beginning of 2023, Nina played at the biggest European showcase festival Eurosonic, where together with a string quintet she introduced her uniquely coloured art pop. Her autumn tour will include playing at the Waves Vienna, BUSH Festival in Budapest, as well as Santeria in Milan.

Ron Caines / Andrew Greaves / I’m Dr Buoyant: East of Eden saxophonist and stalwart of Brighton Safehouse Ron Caines returns with regular collaborator, Spirit of Gravity founder I’m Dr Buoyant, this time as a trio with Spirit of Gravity keyboard magician Andrew Greaves (Broken Star, solo and other collaborations): improvised saxophone, live sampling and swooping synthesiser combine in spontaneous composition.

The Organ Grinder’s Monkey is the brainchild of Brighton-based musician/producer Ben Garnett. Ben provides guitar and vocals while his laptop/best friend Bill handles beats and FX. The resulting sound is an attempt to combine the glitchy stutter and madness of Bill’s favourite electronic artists (Aphex Twin, Squarepusher) with the freewheeling maverick indie-rock of Ben’s youth (Super Furry Animals, The Boo Radleys, Grandaddy). A shared love of 8-bit computer game sounds provides further inspiration.
Having not played live since the pandemic, 2023 finally sees TOGM re-emerge with an entirely new approach to their sound. Two years of experimentation has armed the pair with an array of different techniques, technology and a whole set of fresh semi-improvised material that is now created completely live in the moment, ending the previous reliance on pre-programmed backing tracks. With instrumentation stripped back to just a single breakbeat, two tracks of looped guitar and occasional bass, the focus now shifts to taking these basic building blocks and employing endless banks of effects to remix them into a restless and unpredictable soundscape.
These sounds will be recorded and edited down into an EP set for release by the end of the year.
