Miradasvacas

Pablo Mirón and Juan Vacas, of Miradasvacas, make sparse, tactile music that sits between recording and performance, where material is always shifting in and out of focus. Field recordings, found sound, harmonica, violin, guitar and tape loops are shaped in real time using radios, reel-to-reel machines, turntables, cassette players and acoustic instrumentation, all bleeding into one another. Recordings are made in real time and captured straight from the room, then reused and reshaped into new forms rather than treated as finished tracks. They’ve released two albums so far, the first on 12th Isle and the second on South of North … two albums we could recommend again and again / they’re also part of Real No Real and Ediciones Fontenebro, working within a wider set of overlapping, interlinked projects.

Nakul Krishnamurthy

Nakul Krishnamurthy, originally from India and based in Glasgow, his practice sits between Indian classical traditions, Western classical frameworks, and long-form experimental / modern classical music, treating structure as something that can be reworked rather than preserved. Rather than presenting tradition as fixed, his work reconfigures its internal logic, shifting rhythmic and melodic systems into unfamiliar arrangements. Drawing on deep study across Carnatic, Hindustani, Western classical, Indian popular and experimental music, he builds spaces where these forms overlap, interrupt and reshape one another. His album Punaravartanam was recently released on The Death of Rave, alongside earlier work via Cafe Oto’s in-house Takuroku label …  both A*****, check them out.

Dali de Saint Paul & Memotone

Two Bristol mainstays, long overdue collision --- Dali de Saint Paul works with voice across improvisation, noise and ensemble settings, not really using it in a fixed way, more as something that shifts depending on context and who she’s working with. Memotone works through ambient jazz, library-music electronics and soundtrack influenced ideas, always slightly outside of any one category. Both lonnnng time standing Bristol heroes doing something completely fresh … a pairing not one expected. Releases across The Trilogy Tapes, Accidental Meetings, World of Echo and so so so on …..

Girl Downstairs (dj)

Amsterdam-based Italian playing a deejay set for the first time in the UK, ever. a taste of hazy dub, noisy electronics, experimental pop music, lo-fi industrial-tinged ambient. A must see come down early / fill in the gap rare enigma. Pressing play at 7pm.
