An evening of electronics and acoustics in collision

The Static Memories with Al Strachan
Electronics and Double Bass with added Cornet

The Static Memories continue their series of gigs with a guest with the rightly ubiquitous cornet player Al Strachan. This will be their second outing with Al. The first one was minimalist, this time they plan to be more minimalist…or is it less?

You&TH
Solo violin and electronics

YOU&TH is the solo work of Brighton violinist Maria Marzaioli (Slum of Legs, Reds, The Academy of Sun). Maria has been making field recordings since 1997, improvising for twice as long, and began combining these two loves a couple of years ago. Using violin & found sounds, song & poem fragments, her work explores sonic and musical representations of landscapes.

Steve Gisby
Iterative music

Mathematical processes have been at the heart of my music for the past seven years. I’m drawn to logical systems and combinatorial forms, especially when layered on top of themselves. These ideas are sometime then juxtaposed with elements of indeterminacy or performer autonomy, as a counterpoint to the machine-like precision of working with numbers.

They pieces I will be playing are created using a simple process that involves gradually assembling and then superimposing five layers of audio material, with each layer building up in the same way. The audio content of each layer is chosen intuitively, in contrast to the rigidness of the form.

Unfortunately, Marlin HeadWreck (Bela Emerson and David K Frampton) can no longer make this event and will be rescheduled for the new year, many apologies.

The Spirit of Gravity BandCamp label has now re-emerged from a short hiatus, with a new release by I’m Dr Buoyant, “I’m Dr Buoyant plays Ron Caines.”

For this album, I’m Dr Buoyant has taken the solo saxophone recordings of Ron Caines, and edited and manipulated them to create new forms, making more or less oblique references to the original material. No other sound source was used for these tracks.

The result is a thirteen track album of astounding variety; lyrical pieces jostle with jagged and stark soundscapes that is never anything but highly compelling and listenable.

This new release is available for donations via the following link:

Further releases are in the pipeline from Music of Benares and Bramblings.

The Spirit of Gravity have got together with Blue Tapes and X-Ray Records (bluetapes.co.uk/) for this special one off show in September, that should set you up nicely for Fort Process (fortprocess.co.uk/)

Benjamin Finger
Norwegian Fever Dream; Gorgeous and Fiery

Norwegian composer Benjamin Finger has released 10 full-length LPs since 2009 that have taken in a wide variety of musics, from delicate ambient to modern classical, free jazz and techno – sometimes even within the space of one piece!

His Amorosa Sensitiva LP for Blue Tapes and X-Ray Records was described by The Ransom Note as “a gleaming reverie, slightly submerged, redolent of Alice Coltrane’s graceful, spiritual ecstasy and the decelerated density and dusky forest-plunge of Wolfgang Voigt’s GAS project. A fever dream at turns gorgeous and fiery.”

Map71
Art Punk Electro-Poets

Throbbing Gristle, Einsturzende Neubaten, The Fall, Suicide and John Zorn are some of the artists that Brighton legends Map 71 have been compared to, but this art-punk combination of performance poet Lisa Jayne and drummer/noisemaker Andy Pyne (Medicine and Duty, Kellar, Shrag) have proved themselves over the past year or two of mind-rewiring gigs and cryptic releases to be a singular force, miles apart from any identifiable trend in their hometown or the world.

“Lisa Jayne is one of the most physically arresting performers of poetry in Brighton, with a stage presence informed by visiting London strip clubs and observing strippers at work: a persona at once both provocative and absent; lingering eye contact and gyrating hips behind a wall of cool Perspex charisma. As can be heard on Map 71’s tape on Blue Tapes, Andy Pyne’s primal approach offers the perfect backing for Jayne’s stark confessions, delivered in a thick Essex accent like apocalyptic proclamations from some piss-stained midnight car park of the mind.” – The Wire

Wild Anima
Field Recordings and looped shards

In her previous Blue Tapes incarnation as Kurosounds, the Paris-based sound designer Alex Alexopoulos weaved subtle field recordings around looped shards of music to create intuitive and atmospheric soundworlds that sucked the listener in. Rechristening herself Wild Anima, Alex has collaborated with a range of musicians to further develop her own brand of “spiritual pop” – a transcendent and uplifting sound that draws on techno, spiritual singers and mbira music.

Plus special guest –
Henry Collins
Short, brutal and on early
