A gig held at Exchange on Saturday 2nd July. The event starts at 15:00pm.
Cacophonous Sarcophagus & Fat Paul Presents a feast of experimental, obscure and adventurous music from Bristol & beyond.
Across two Saturdays in July (2nd and 16th), we hope to showcase the best in Bristol's sub-underground. Hopefully it'll work as a platform for people try out new projects/sets and possibly push the boat out a little more than they would usually dare. There will be some familiar faces, as well as many you've never seen or heard before, but I promise it's all worth checking out. Come down and support those who are really trying something different!
Expect sounds from the outer-limits;
Many flavors of drone, free jazz, fetishistic body-horror technot, electro-acoustic mini/maximalism, Spanish baroque modular, krautfunk, black feedback skree, ritualistic performance, algo-rhythmic noise, lots of synths and the general unclassifiable...

“Indian style violinist.
In the late 90s Yuki started a psychedelic band as guitarist and released two albums as Floating Flower with Makoto Kawabata (Acid Mothers Temple) & Tetsuya.
She began to learn violin in the Indian style as a beginner from Dr. Mohanty in 2001 and later learned Hindustani music from Dr. N Rajam in India. Since 2008 she has been learning Carnatic music from Dr. L Subramaniam.
In addition to Indian music, she plays various styles and genres including ambient, electronica, psychedelic, improvised music etc. using electric violin, synthesizer and laptop.
Previously played in Bodh Mahotsav concert with the Tokio Hasegawa (Taj Mahal Travellers)
Released live album "Mythos" with violin duo Yuji Katsui (Rovo) in 2016.”

"Naomi is known as the guitarist of Zelda, a legendary female new wave band who released 10 albums by Sony Music House etc. She now favours a style comprised of drifting psychdelic drones and soaring celestial melodies.
Fans of Bristol's TWIN will surely enjoy!
“At her live performances, she embodies such force and power, which is hard to believe that it came out from just one musician, and expresses incredible world of emptiness within the micro-cosmos. Naomi is an valuable person as a woman guitarist who is expressing all sounds with one guitar and playing an active part in and out of Japan.”

An electric strings duo of Agathe Max (violin) and Gareth 'Salope' Turner (double bass). With liberal use of pedals and amps, they conjure a heady mix of cosmic free jazz, psyche, classical, hardcore, drone and industrial.
On the night they will perform solo, as a duo and a special improvised trio performance with Yuki Kaneko!

Miguel Prado's 'Nzʉmbe'
https://soundcloud.com/organized-music/sets/nzumbe-titubeo-t28-2015
http://www.taumaturgia.com/miguelprado/
“Miguel Prado is a Galician “composer/theorist/ provocateur” (Byron Coley, The Wire) based in Bristol, UK. Since 2007 he has released a number of solo works, and has worked together with artists such as Mattin, Stephen O’Malley, Michael Pisaro and Jozef Van Wissem.
His stunning 2015 release 'Tibubeo' is built upon a musical bed of modular electronics, guitar, keyboards and percussion, and featuring musical contributions from a host of Iberian guests.
Unashamedly romantic, the songs waltz through references to disenchantment, affection and humiliation, allowing for grand gestures, electrical explosions and hammering repetitions to tower over the music while the voice maintains a steady and melodramatic tone throughout. The vocals themselves are often heavily processed and broken down to digital shards, reinforcing an unusual disembodiment of the voice.
What in most records is taken for granted – the sound of the recorded voice - here is laid bare in all its isolation, vulnerability and exposure. Coupled with the music’s sharp and dramatic tone, it makes for an intricate and memorable atmosphere. Titubeo is a cycle of modern baroque love songs.”
“There is no doubt that Prado has accomplished something remarkable here, no matter how morose it might leave his audience feeling once it’s over.” - Tiny Mix Tapes

Deej Dhariwal + Guy Metcalfe
“Performing his 2nd solo release ’My Father My Sun’ with added drum thumps from fellow Thought Forms member Guy Metcalfe (aka Princess). This will be the first time the pair has performed these songs live together and you can expect a bubbling cauldron of drone, doom, and moans, like a wolf singing at the moon."

“Human life must be some kind of mistake. The truth of this will be sufficiently obvious if we only remember that man is a compound of needs and necessities hard to satisfy; and that even when they are satisfied, all he obtains is a state of painlessness, where nothing remains to him but abandonment to boredom. This is direct proof that existence has no real value in itself; for what is boredom but the feeling of the emptiness of life? If life—the craving for which is the very essence of our being—were possessed of any positive intrinsic value, there would be no such thing as boredom at all: mere existence would satisfy us in itself, and we should want for nothing.”

Bad Tracking
Nipple-clamped, ball-gagged fetishistic body-horror technot.
“Bad Tracking are the feeling of hot aluminium against bare skin.
Bad Tracking are the sensation of your eyes scorched by a backlit screen.
Bad Tracking do not dream of wires, they are fucking wires.”

Robin Foster
Robin is branching out on his own this evening, but if you've ever seen Tippex 'perform', you should have a good idea what to expect.
“Together they are absolutely destroying all ideas of what music, performance and sound art should and could be. Ideas run off them like sweat. I’ve seen them play dangling dangerously out of trees, and do a full set of squidging slimy foodstuffs in front of a mic. They’re passionate about the process and ideals and history of improvisation, whilst disregarding or ridiculing any idioms that have become ingrained in it along the way.” - Graham Dunning

Fat Paul's Blakk Metal
Apparently a project where Fatty plays tons of black metal all at once, but it normally actually involves contact mics, harsh drones, lots of cymbals and total freeform improv.
Please invite & share far/wide...
Cheers!
