Thursday 3rd February at the Rossi Bar: Kieran Mahon / R. Dyer / Martin Chick

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.

New release on the Spirit of Gravity netlabel: Washing Up Time

Posted on by Spirit of Gravity

The Spirit of Gravity is continuing to pump out strange, unusual and inspired sounds via netlabel releases.

Washing Up Time is a 36-track compilation curated by Nil By Nose.

During the first lockdown, looking for ways to make a difference to the days, Nil By Nose started to livestream himself doing the washing up.
‘To keep things interesting for myself ’, he avers, ‘ I started to run the sound of the washing up though a Gechologic Loopsynth while I streamed. As I listened I noticed that the looping created interesting rhythms and textures.’

This prompted the idea of a collaborative project, using his audio as a base. The result is 36 astonishingly varied tracks – by some people who we know, and some who we
don’t – that will take you to some far-flung shores of electronica and experimentalia.

Stream and download the EP here on a pay-as-you-will basis: spiritofgravity.bandcamp.com/album/washing-up-time
