Vera Bremerton: Solo vox experimental extreme mayhem
Muster: Guitar, electronics, small objects
Zoom Around Rainbow: Slower then glaciers, Harder then ecological collapse

Italian-born Vera Bremerton is equally influenced by classical, industrial, techino and avantgarde music.  Counting Diamanda Galàs, Maria Callas and Meredith Monk among her muses, she uses different timbres, effects and a 4-octaves vocal range.
High-end musical skills in composition and performance, and theatricality in spades… sensitivity and subtlety even in the more violent sections. (Chrissie Caulfield, Radio Free Midwich) She’s half art-house horror movie queen, half cabaret torch singer, and her studied, arch delivery of precision-crafted melodramatic ballads… certainly commands attention (Michael Johnson, Nemesis To Go)

Muster is the improvising duo of James O’Sullivan (South London) and Dan Powell (Brighton).

Their first album “Find a City to Live In” was released on Invisible City in 2019.

The Spirit of Gravity presents KIERAN MAHON / R. DYER / MARTIN CHICK

Kieran Mahon: Drones, loops and modulated sequences.
R. Dyer: Odd songs built from memories and stray kit
Martin Chick: Bleeps and tweaks for the rods and cones in your ears.

Kieran Mahon makes electronic music using a modular synth set up to create drones, loops and heavily modulated sequences. His set for Spirit of Gravity will be an improvised journey into kosmische and psychedelia.

R. Dyer uses saxophone, saw, harp, found sounds, tape samples, looped vocals and synth to create mesmerising baroque pop laced with chaotic improvisation.

Martin Chick – Modular bursts and clusters firing like sonic snipers targeting synaesthetic synapses; a strafe across your cranium  to jerk your limbs to life.

We still don’t have the elektrocreche, but may stream this on FaceBook. If things go to plan.
