A Float Records Night
with Lawrence English + VI + Bugbrand
(Thu 22nd / 8pm / £5)
Prepare your mind for an evening of deep listening, fragile beauty and spectral electronics.
Lawrence English is a writer, musician and media artist based in Brisbane, Australia who has worked with the likes of DJ Olive, Janek Schaefer and Scanner. Like Whitman, he applies live digital processing to acoustic sounds in his subtle ambient meditations. Hypnotic head music to clear your ears.
With support from V.I. - raw analogue undulations for the ears and eyes using a bank of archaic step modulator synthesisers: the sonic output is fed through an oscilliscope and projected onto the big screen.
Also tonight, Bugbrand presents a reworking of Alvin Lucier's "Vespers", a piece in which a number of performers, using ultrasonic devices, explore a darkened room like bats to create an image in sound of the space's contours.
