With a background in piano performance and composition, Ieva’s work often integrates natural soundscapes, creating immersive and evocative musical experiences. Her compositions have been featured on platforms like BBC Introducing and Radio Resonance FM. Recent projects include Preludes, Sedo, and Brass Memories, each showcasing her ability to push the boundaries of traditional music. Ieva’s latest album, Undercurrents, recorded in the Outer Hebrides, marks a new direction in her music, combining the serenity of the Scottish landscape with the richness of blues and jazz harmonies.
The latest Alien Alarms x Ieva Dubova collaboration, “A Leap” will be released on the new Alien Alarms album “Utopia Or Dystopia?” on the 4th October via alienalarms.bandcamp.com

Altamode: A partnership between Luke, an analogue synth obsessive known for his work in the infamous live-only Yellow Door collective, and Monty, a synthesis tool creator and organiser behind the bleached record label. This performance may well be solo. Monty. Interesting textures and time signatures.

Yewen Jin is a multidisciplinary artist and research based curator who has been investigating the relationship between the self, the body and reality as systems of stimuli in the post-digital era. Her work primarily focused on data-driven real-time remote collaboration in sound and movement, particularly in the context of performances and events spaces.
Coming from the background of architecture, philosophy and mathematics, she is particularly interested in creating experiences through mediums at the crossing between the virtual and the physical construction of space-time intervals such as performance, music, digital place making and story telling.
Yewen is also co-founder of Skopetur, a new media tech research based curatorial and event production platform for globally linked network performances. And has been involved with Chinabot who have curated a night at The Rose Hill.

Armatures is Brighton-based electronic musician Preston Parris (previously recorded as preston.outatime). This live set will feature works from his new album Limitation, late-night ambience, with sturdy yet gentle beats, underpinning glitching machine music, reminiscent of Mesh recordings or early Boards Of Canada without the hauntological aspects.
Morse code beats and shuddering chords.

Meljoann: Disturbing R&B, hyper-capitalist video testimonials
Simon Pyke: Presents high fidelity 4/4
Marienbad: PlunderDSP xenoarthropod ambience

Former Skam and Warp artist Simon Pyke revisits the Spirit of Gravity with a side step to his regular abstractions with a set of slow burning 4/4 dance floor meditations.
Simon has contributed to a diverse array of projects. These includes collaborating with Hans Zimmer on a surround sound installation for BMW, soundtracking a projection show at the Sydney Opera House, and complete television rebrands for SKY TV and MTV. Additionally, he has soundtracked major multi-room exhibitions, such as the Universal Everything Lifeforms show.
Simon emerged onto the scene during the wave of innovation within electronic music in the mid-1990s. During this period, he released music on various labels, including Warp Records, and graced live stages at iconic venues such as the Pompidou Centre in Paris and the Sonar Festival in Barcelona. He last played at The Spirit of Gravity about 18 months ago.
