Tickets £3 adv £4 otd An intimate, informal evening of darkwave / dark ambient music by solo Bristol based artists. NEW HAUNTS Contrasting the jarring with the serene - combining elements of post-punk, early industrial, goth and synthpop with soft ambient synths, arresting yet melodic vocals, discordance and mechanical beats. https://www.facebook.com/newhauntsmusic/ https://newhaunts.bandcamp.com/ ELLEN SOUTHERN: SITE SINGING (voice / field recordings, Bristol) Using voice as both a compositional tool, and as a direct sound-based method of interacting with site, Site Singing is based on the idiosyncrasies which arise in this relational process. As well as on-going field trips to sites including ancient long barrows, medieval ruins and an abandoned Victorian stone bridge, the project is constantly expanding towards exhibitions, collaborations, and semi-improvised solo performances, which combine live, mediated and pre-recorded elements. As well as being the vocalist and sound/visual artist in Dead Space Chamber Music, Ellen Southern has also appeared as part of The SeeR experimental performance collective. https://www.facebook.com/EllenSouthernVoice/ Live at Silencio experimental ambient night, Bristol: https://vimeo.com/328819139 https://dscm.bandcamp.com/ https://sitesinging.wordpress.com/
