Johanna Bramli
Manipulated vocals / electronics / drone / found sounds

Johanna blends found sounds, drones, DIY noise devices, and harmonised vocals to create melodic, dreamy yet haunting soundscapes. She is one half of motorik pop band Fröst and is interested in exploring the gap between experimental noise and pop. In her solo work, she attempts to bring elements of melodic and pop structures to experimental sounds and textures.

Cutlasses
Homemade electronics & horror timbres with melody

Cutlasses is the solo project of Scott Pitkethly. Combining field recordings and found sounds with heavily manipulated guitar and synths, Cutlasses takes its inspiration from the textures and timbres of sound art and horror film soundtracks, whilst also drawing from the melodic sensibilities of pop music. As well as making music, Scott is also an avid maker of DIY electronic instruments and effects, some of which will make it into the live show.

I’m Dr Buoyant and Ron Caines
Return of the sax and loop improv duo

I’m Dr Buoyant and Ron Caines return for a rare outing of their unique combination of live-sampled loops and improvised sax, ranging from the lyrical to the downright gnarly. I’m Dr Buoyant is a founder member of the Spirit of Gravity collective, while Ron Caines, of 70’s prog fame with East of Eden, appears in regular improv duos with the likes of Andy Pyne and Alice Eldridge, and is a member of the Westhill Blast Quartet. I’m Dr Buoyant recently released a full-length album of electronic manipulations of Ron’s saxophone recordings on the Spirit of Gravity BandCamp label, “I’m Dr Buoyant plays Ron Caines”.

Timeron
Analogue Tramlines session all synth action

Timeron has decided to limit their possibilities using, as as a core, real-time non binary oscillations. Polyphony is less, samples craved. dodgy palette. The space in the box is important, feeding live sonic transmissions of air apparent electricity. the body speaks, those given voices speak from a vantage point suspended by a stale disbelief. Let it be known, Slick Rick has made it clear he wants absolutely no gaps or cracks. business stress.
He has always been a source of amusement throughout history. Why do these taste-makers exist? Time to step cautiously, no funky stuff, no guff.

Back to the plan, the sequencer styled 90’s. It doesn’t care about its groovy font…just an old worker. punch in the data, midi streams for clunky human expressions. ‘why are you doing that?’ says RM1x. T: ‘maybe to talk of some place in the mind lost or forgotten’ . R: ‘but in doing so you lose. with such repeats. the fleeting emotion that empowers is lost’ T: ‘ true, anyway all that rich analogue data is barely perceptible, by the time its shat out of a Microsoft’ R: ‘ are you suggesting that nothing can be communicated through these midi mutterings I am sending to those oscillators?’ T: ‘ I like your buttons’

Noisferatu
All Hail thee Radish: invocation

Noisferatu are a masked duo who have urged audiences to Hail Thee Radish in their dark sonic occult rituals. These rituals are improvised journeys filled with darkly absurd imagery and veneration of thee radish. Live the rituals feature radishes, incense, chalk sigils (often crude an vaguely obscene) and guest performers (guitarists, sound manipulators, dancers, Rappers, vocalists, percussionists). Thee rituals always last 666 seconds. ALL HAIL THEE RADISH!!

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:

https://spiritofgravity.bandcamp.com/album/im-dr-buoyant-plays-ron-caines

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