plus Hynotique and theremin film
(Fri 9th / 7.30pm / £5)
From amidst his banks of circuitry and custom built electronics comes a flowering of songwriting from Bristol based musician Knowledge of Bugs. New album The Shifted Sands - possibly the finest to come out of Bristol in 2005 - sees the travelling man cross varied terrain, from bleak baritone led chorales recalling Crescent or The For Carnation to radiant electroacoustic folk more in keeping with Animal Collective or Jim O' Rourke. Underpinning it all are gently turning guitar drones, fluid improvisational passages and subtle, effervescent electronics. A live performer with unique presence and Know-how.
Tom Bugs welcomes theremin virtuoso Hypnotique to the Cube to celebrate the release. Orwellian nightmares and macabre real life tales meet in her live electro-cabaret show, as hypnotic ether sounds and surreal lunar landscapes transport the voyear from near drug induced euphoria to the obsessive despair of high Romanticism.
Plus screening of a Bugs-endorsed theremin film featuring Todd Rundgren, Brian Wilson and more!
