Utility Fog

Sunday, 14th of September, 2008

Some exciting experimental sounds fo' yo' ears tonight! Among other things. Starting with a Melbournian composer who's also an improv artist & a noisenik among other things. Then some wonderful music featuring one of my heroes, Carla Kihlstedt - first off with some improv pieces with the legendary Fred Frith and Stevie Wishart (who ought to be legendary if she's not)... Carla's latest album is Ravish, on twelve cups records, and it's music for stage done in collaboration with co-members of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum Matthias Bossi & Dan Rathbun. Really wonderful stuff.

Later on, a couple of previews from Mirrored Silver Sea's forthcoming debut album on sound&fury, which is utterly awesome. It's beautiful noise - think Burning Star Core or Bleeding Heart Narrative...
And finishing up, 65daysofstatic remix all four recent Cure singles, one after another, in an epic mega-remix from the new Hypnagogic States single. See the link at the bottom for amusing controversy!

Next week, Spartak perform live in the studio! You can also see them at 6pm next Sunday at Bohemian Grove, L2/68 Sophia St, Surry Hills; and also on Monday night at the NOWnow, at Serial Space, 33 Wellington St Chippendale. Nice!
