6th September at the Green Door Store: The Braindead Ensemble / rdyer / Zeyn Mroueh

The Braindead Ensemble
Acoustically networked feedback assemblage

Two feedback cellos a feedback bass and a Threnoscope are plugged together to form a multi-instrument, multi-channel system. The feedback cellos and bass are DIY electro-acoustic-digital resonator instruments. Each instrument has pickups under each of its strings and transducers built into the acoustic instrument body, inducing electromagnetically-controlled feedback which can be digitally processed. The classical model of a bowed instrument is inverted: the player no longer controls and excites the strings to produce sound, but negotiates with an ongoing, lively, self-resonating instrument. The threnoscope is a software system created by ixi audio for drones, live coding and microtonal, spatialised composition. All the instruments are networked acoustically: the channels of the threnoscope are diffused to a quadraphonic PA plus the integral speakers of the string instruments.

These feedback processes summon a wide sonic spectrum including airy microtonal micro-melodies, serene yet colourful drones, complex spectral gestures, and vast brutal explosions surfacing gradually or unpredictably into screams. This is an emergent, negotiated form of performance which involves the steering and shaping of evolving, distributed, sonic energies rather than the instigation and exchange of discrete musical ideas. No one is in control, although everyone is playing.

BDE are: Thor Magnusson (Threnoscope), Thanos Polymeneas-Liontiris (Feedback bass), Chris Kiefer (Feedback cello) and Alice Eldridge (Feedback cello)

rdyer
keyboards, saw, loops, performance pop

rdyer is interested in junk, outdated technology and recycling, using a loop pedal, musical saw, saxophone, and site-specific recordings to create performance art and pop songs.

Zeyn Mroueh
Lebanese Palestinian Cypriot Post drone

Zeyn Mroueh is a Cypriot-born, Lebanese-Palestinian musician creating industrial soundscapes and experimental noise music.
He composes primarily on the guitar using an array of pedals and samples to distort and manipulate traditional music into atonal sound experiences.
“Pictures of the Floating World mixes maturity and knowledge with raw, ardent youthfulness in an assimilation of Post Rock, Lo Fi, Drone and Noise. It is at once experimental and deliberate, seamlessly blending dissenting voices and robotic vibrations with mellifluous reverbs.”

2nd August at the Green Door Store: Distant Animals (in a forest of signs) / I’m Dr Buoyant / Not For The Suffering Type

Posted on by Spirit of Gravity

Distant Animals (in a forest of signs)
Celebrate the launch of their LP

Distant Animals is the artistic output of Daniel Alexander Hignell, a researcher and sound, video and performance artist from South East England. Hignell has developed a practice indebted to political and participatory resonance of creative acts, interrogating notions of autonomy, collaboration, and the tension between sense (what is perceived by the senses) and sense(what is made sensible by the community). He has recorded, written, performed and researched numerous socially-oriented sound works across Europe, often choosing to work with a diverse range of collaborators, including visual artists, choreographers, theologians, lawyers, and political activists.
With this open-ended approach to composition, his new album ‘Lines’ relies on conceptually rich sonic phrases, exploring over its length both the purity of a musical tapestry that amounts to little more than a complexly modulated square wave -often pushing the filters that shape it to near breaking-point -and the rhythmic dissonance of the voice, noise, and distorted bells that erupt violently from it as the work progresses.

I’m Dr Buoyant
The return of dark loops and distortion

Following a test run in November Thee Founder I’m Dr Buoyant returns to his solo performance mode, but exploring a darker aesthetic. Wielding a more dissonant sound palette, his music is now designed to be more intense and unsettling, reflecting a negative response to contemporary existence. Promoting his latest BandCamp release “Dark Looper”, copies of a short run remix CD will also be available on the night.

Not For The Suffering Type
LoFi electronic pop improvisations

NOT FOR THE SUFFERING TYPE is the pop improvisation duo of Eleanor Callaghan and Iain Paxon. Literary inspiration comes from Eleanor’s teenage diaries, automatic writing and Christian songs from the Sacred Harp song book. Iain plays mostly bass and drum machine, Eleanor plays mostly keyboard.
