Ambientology Vol.1

FREE ENTRY. For the first time in the longest while, a specially curated evening of live ambient music graces the stage at The Lion BS5, Bristol early next year. So for the perfect end to a wintery weekend, come join us for an exploration of tech-driven textural tones, long-form cinematic soundscapes and shimmering walls of ambient sound. Welcome to volume one of Ambientology. Let's meet our sonic sherpas.

Matthew Richards - Bristol-based composer known for creating experimental ambient and minimal classical sound collages using found sound, fm synthesis-driven soundscapes and traditional classical instrumentation. Expect a blend of carefully considered sonic oddities, some planned, some improvised.

Grasslands - genre-blurring musician and ecologist Tom Haynes utilises an array of interesting electronics, found sound and ambient guitar pollinated with information about meadows, grasses and the environment.

Sotoyoto - Swindon-based Brendan Hamley's music is a continuous flow of expertly-crafted ambient minimalism, featuring improvised layers of pattering synths and other low-key sonic curios.
