2nd November at the Green Door Store: Diamond Family Archive / Motherbox / Ahtuf KONTROL / I’m Dr Buoyant

The Diamond Family Archive
The Diamond Family Archive are an English lo-fi, psych-folk, multi-instrumentalist duo from The South Hams in Devon.
Live, The Diamond Family Archive craft a mesmeric live-show from drums, acoustic guitars, lots of FX pedals, keyboards set to drone, tape delay, loops and bellows, bows, harmonicas, cosmic harps, toys and broken cymbals. All coming together to create music which holds echos of post-rock, traditional folk, spiritual soul music, psychedelic rock and lo-fi. Foot-stomping, finger-picking, hollering vs pin-drop hush – fragile, lazy grace.

Motherbox
Brighton based synth/drum trio deliver eclectic experimental groove based sonic wisdoms and a new album to your ears. Two men play various analogue and modular synths while another shorter man drums along all whilst earnestly nodding. Eclectic electronic soundscapes with a dram of krautrock.

Ahtuf KONTROL
Dance and Radiophonics – return after a summer retreat in imagination. Another combination of emotion and vibration to see and feel.

I’m Dr Buoyant
Spirit of Gravity joint founder I’m Dr Buoyant turns out for a rare solo slot, get down early not to miss it. His set-up has been adjusted to give his live loop improvisations a somewhat darker tone, one might say in response to current world events, but probably just because it sounds good. Copies of the IDB and Ron Caines vinyl 7″ will be on sale.

7th September at the Green Door Store: Thomas Ragsdale / ¥eti / Sunset Graves

Thomas Ragsdale
Cinematic electronica & visceral AV workouts

Yorkshire based composer Thomas Ragsdale melds cinematic electronica with immersive soundscapes and blissful techno workouts. Spending his formative years composing a varied catalogue of music for TV, film and advertising companies, his gradual shift into the world of performing music is one that’s quickly won acclaim from the likes of Resident Advisor and FACT. His music has been featured with great effect in two groundbreaking BBC documentaries by Adam Curtis including the acclaimed ‘HyperNormalisation’, where his track ‘Warning Mass’ was featured extensively alongside the likes of Brian Eno, Burial and Aphex Twin. His music has also found its way onto commercials by BMW, Prada and Twitter.

Having composed and released soundtracks for feature films premiering at Film4’s prestigious FightFest and EPs with lavish packaging backed with personally intimate subject matters, Thomas’ music evokes spacious resonance and emotional response.

His approach to writing and producing is built around a minimalist framework, choosing to rely heavily on organic instrumentation overlaid with subtle electronic elements, whilst live performances take on a more visceral approach with tense peaks of sound in front of a full live visual show. Thomas so far shared stages on tours and supports with a diverse array of musicians, such as Tropic Of Cancer, Daniel Lanois, Esben & The Witch, Einstürzende Neubauten and Kara-Lis Coverdale.

¥eti
Undanceable Dance Music

¥eti has recently turned his attention to writing complex electronic music. Focusing more on intricately layering a variety of sounds over sporadic time signature changes as opposed to gaining a fan base. ¥eti identifies as ‘Undanceable Dance Music’.
