Not playing live, but my MA Computational Arts degree show opens this Thursday at Goldsmiths. I’m showing a kinetic sculpture which involves a piece of steel being corroded by water from the Thames, controlled by the tide level in real-time, alongside a supercollider-based sound piece made up of field recordings from around where I live in Deptford. There are also live AV performances in a near 360 degree projection space, as well as all manner of crazy creative tech pieces.

Show’s open Friday to Sunday as well, so pm me if you’re coming at a time outside the preview and I can show you around, if you’re interested in hearing a bit more about the works/the course.

Hi Folks!

Garden variety long-time lurker, second-time poster here.

A friend of mine does a fairly low-key private gig series that draws a small but attentive audience, and on the hunt for someone doing ambient in the London area to join me for a gig.

Open to anything, but my set will be textural drone, mostly warm and somewhat noisy. If you are working on something complimentary and you are in the London area, would love to hear from you.

Cheers!

Hey all! Had a few bites on my earlier post, but haven’t been able to make dates work. So still on the hunt for someone working in lush(ish) ambient/drone stuff - noisy is cool as long as audience can still drift off a bit as that’s the point of the gig.

Date is March 14th. If you’re in or around London and available, drop me a note!

I’m not performing but my partner is organising this very unique event on the 26th of Apr:

FB page: https://www.facebook.com/events/257590388449700/

* Book tickets here *

the venue: !!!

While on board The Golden Hinde artists will collectively interbreed two species: noise music and classical music.

How can a classical instrument be noise? Find out by watching three different noise classical crossover projects within the heart of a ship drenched in history and mystery.

For those of you already familiar with noise we will add to your already well developed misconceptions, and for those of you who are less familiar with noise we may surprise you with where the music travels.

With experimentation at the heart of the music, the artists performs music as a gesture, the essence of live performance. The ship itself is seeping with memory, making it the noise-perfect host for this cross over to take place.

Artists will bring together the cello, violin, flute and a choir in one evening. We will welcome sound waves resonating creatures of the sea, wood spirits and nautical murder ballads on this very special evening on board The Golden Hinde.

Curated by Lisa McKendrick.

Tickets
ÂŁ7.50 online / ÂŁ10 on the door

Doors open 19:00, music starts at 19:30.

Artists:

Rotten Bliss collaboration with 7 Headed Raven
FAIR ISLE is a special collaboration between noise cellist Rotten Bliss and international folk choir 7 Headed Raven. Created especially to haunt The Golden Hinde, FAIR ISLE is inspired by our enduring fascination with the sea in art and folklore and draws from 16th century poetry, nautical murder ballads, and ship diaries, told through fragile and beautiful vocal harmonies, panoramic cello drones, and electronics.

https://rottenbliss.bandcamp.com/

Alex McKenzie
Alex’s work evokes a landscape of sound using the flute and electronics. The flute will echo the wooden quality of the ship in a concoction of resonating wood spirits and electronic sound waves. Alex’s performances are semi-improvised using a mix of analog and digital electronics alongside the flute.

https://noizemaschin.bandcamp.com/track/untitled-101

Lisa McKendrick (AKA Nnja Riot)
Lisa will deliver a violin noise piece which is improvised using the violin and a series of effects, loops and vocals. The performance evokes an interaction between noise elements in the live electronic set up, vocals and violin sounds. By listening to the sounds of the instrument interacting with live effects this noise becomes the second instrument. Utilising this interaction she will build textured layers of sound and deep echoing violin; conjuring mythical creatures of the sea. Expect elements of a witch-craftian and song-craftian nature.

Bernhard Living
Bernhard Living (b. 1948) is an experimental music composer, curator and former multi-instrumentalist (playing alto saxophone, bass clarinet and flute). He was born in Ely, Cambridgeshire, England – and lives and works in London and Southampton, England. He studied composition with the South African-born composer professor Stanley Glasser at Goldsmiths College, University of London, and philosophy under professors Jonathan ReĂ© and Peter Dews at Middlesex University, London. Bernhard Living’s digitally-based compositions have taken minimalistic compositional techniques to what he considers to be their logical conclusion, with his music being characterised by sparse textures, long periods of silence, maximal repetition and minimal variation. The compositions are often devoid of musical elements such as melody, harmony and rhythm, and as an alternative they explore the use of sound colour and sonic textures.

Isn’tses
Collaboration between visual/electronic artist and musician Lisa McKendrick (Listen Lisse) and animator and electronic artist Tim Drage (Cementimental). The duo perform with live video projections and illuminated props, and also with their self-built synths, noise boxes, circuit bent toys and vocals.

Morphogenesis
The group was formed by a group of people interested in exploring the possibilities of live electronic music and collective improvisation. The groups aim is to unify and integrate many diverse sound elements. Other electronic instruments include a 4 speed portable reel to reel tape recorder.
