Events on Thursday 17th June
“The world’s about to end, so of course we’re throwing a huge party. There are thousands of people here: multiple dance floors, denialist splinter groups, lovers’ rifts and DJs giving body counts. No one can remember how long the party has been going, nobody knows exactly when the apocalypse will strike. But Eddie and Wen have just split up. What will the rest of the night bring for them… if not the end of everything?”

“Modulus III is an instrumental live electronica trio based in Bristol, UK. They create music that is a mixture of dense, electronic soundscaping and dynamic, spontaneous live composition. Mixing minimal synthesizers, sweeping textures, energetic drums, haunting cello, driving Fender Rhodes – all woven together through engaging improvisations that might make you feel like dancing at one moment or like you’re lost in a retro-futurist nightmare the next.”

“Mesadorm concocts a diverse and heady combination of contemporary influences with those of legendary female luminaries, to provide “moments of extreme beauty from life’s complexities,” (Bristol 24/7). Their “affecting and beautiful” (Lauren Laverne, BBC 6Music) music is the perfect tonic for the times we have been living in – in the space between the personal and the global, the throb of the night and the glint of the dawn, the crushing weight of a significant ending and the promise of a fresh start; Mesadorm’s music awaits.”
