Dubiousaudio presents HYPNOGOGO, a showcase for musicians working with electronics using a veriety of interfaces and styles - including alternative usage of live instruments and improvisation. Some of this may be danceable, some highly strange and alarming.
SUPERIMPOZER will be performing a live trumpet and laptop set, involving material from his new album Thought Fungus, which was the first release on dubiousaudio. One Week to Live magazine said this album was "somewhere between the heady beatscapes of the mid 90's (think vintage Ninja Tune), and the harsher, more industrial visions of a post apocalyptic Philip K Dick nightmare...a free-jazz styled soundtrack, one that you could easily lose yourself in, as it verges on sound art in many places." A Thought Fungus track was played by Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC Radio 1, and Superimpozer has been played on Radio 3's Mixing It show, and the international radio show The Selector, among others. His live sets are always an intense experience, and this should be no exeption.
Flautist and composer ISNAJ DUI has provoking much interest on the experimental electronica scene for her unique blend of acoustic instruments and electronically manipulated effects. With numerous appearances at Disco_r.dance, Multivitamins and various other electronica nights, alongside many sessions on Resonance 104.4fm, Isnaj Dui has built up a strong following. Concert and bass flutes are used alongside an effects and looping device as well as home made instruments including the electrodulcimer, a stringed instrument devised by Isnaj Dui to create a unique and versatile sound.
REGOLITH formed in 2005 for the purpose of creating music on a geological scale; music of mountains, shifting like glaciers, slow and relentless processes on grand timescales. From deep tectonic ambience to explosive volcanic noise, this is music of stone, designed to be as contemplative and beautiful - yet unpredictable and dangerous - as nature itself. Their influences include Pierre Boulez, Frank Zappa and Steve Reich, and their improvisational live shows are becoming progressively more sinister, so check them out!
JETHRO BAGUST will be previewing material from his new album on dubiousaudio. He has been performing his own brand of melodic electronica at many venues in the UK for some years. He has been compared to Plaid and Autechre, but his influences also include people like Chocolate Weasel and DJ Shadow. His laptop sets are always fascinating and atmospheric.
There will be visuals from ANDY SAVVA and HARUTO TOYODA on a big projector throughout the evening.
