plus My Ambulance Is On Fire + Tristan Burfield
(Thu 20th / 8pm / £5)
A triple bill of wonderous ambient warmth.
Adam Wiltzie is The Dead Texan, a lone drone taskforce from USA's Kranky Records forging drifting, orchestral somnambulant sound. Treading the same delicate terrain as that of his other project Stars Of The Lid, this is incredibly cinematic chamber music, impressionistic sounds from a sunken cathedral allied with bespoke video art from Christina Vantoz. The resultant audiovisual spongebath will surely find no better home than here.
Support comes from My Ambulance Is On Fire whose thoughtful phased guitar and undulating Frippertronics provide antidote to his antics with noise chorus Geisha; plus a short retro electronics gameboy set from Tristan Burfield featuring visuals generated via gameboy camera.
With Theater of the Eternal Drone DJs.
