I already have my Cecil ticket in my sweaty palm (so to speak). Tickets are quite pricey for the Cecil and Ornette shows so haven't resolved my internal justification system of forking out for consecutive gigs, which will set me back £100 with expenses. Still, Ornette is a legend and I should, no must, go!!

I saw Ornette a couple of years ago at the RFH and he was fantastic. He's playing with an electric bassist too now, so the show could be more Prime Time-ish.

Thursday May 31st : YOU ARE HEAR SESSIONS CD Launch

LIVE: PRAM + GERMLIN + THE BOHMAN BROTHERS + XYLITOL
DJs: Tunng, Jonny Trunk, Jim Backhaus and Magz Hall


8-1am

Cargo Rivington Street EC1


Price £7

Magz and Jim have called upon four of their favourite artists from the five years of sessions to play at the launch event of the YAH sessions CD.

PRAM’s hypnotic and seductive soundworlds collide krautrock and space-age lounge-music as echoes from a parallel world where Martin Denny and Delia Derbyshire resurrect the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in a heavenly tiki-lounge.

GERMLIN’s attention-deficit-disorder chipcore powerpop sounds like Venetian Snares might if he was brought up in Stirling on a strict diet of Sonic The Hedgehog and Irn-Bru. “Are you ready for some laptop gabba? This is nerdcore and it rocks like an epileptic fit.” Plan B magazine
Germlin is also the brainchild of Gay Against You.

THE BOHMAN BROTHERS are the creators of a unique and impure experimental music. Traces of Dada provocation, Fluxus japery, musique concrete, sound poetry and free improvisation can be detected, yet ultimately the whole is greater and more arcane than the sum of its parts.


Influenced equally by Rave, Hi-NRG, Queercore and the early 80s German Electro-Punk underground, XYLITOL’s music has been favourably compared to Felix Kubin and the sound of a miniature Dalek using its plunger to push a music box around in a tin can.

Folk-Tronica stars Mile and Phil from TUNNG will be DJing their eclectic collision of folk, electronica, prog and much else besides, the legendary JONNY TRUNK will spin groovy, exotic, saucy and space age library music and soundtracks, whilst MAGZ and JIM will satisfy even the most musically voracious of sonic palates with their (un)usual collision of ELECTRO, BAILE-FUNK, GRIME, JUNGLE, DISCO, GABBER, DIY, PROG, KRAUTROCK, MINIMAL, ELECTRONICA array of ALTERNATIVE POP and EXPERIMENTAL SOUNDS.

You Are Hear DJs Magz Hall and Jim Backhouse of www.youarehear.co.uk celebrate this "excellent alternative music show" (Time Out) fifth birthday with a CD of exclusive tracks selected from over five years of live sessions from the show, The You Are Hear sessions CD 2002 -2006 will feature tracks recorded live on the show featuring

Pram, Juana Molina, Murcof, The Lonesome Organist, Man Fron Uranus, Germalin, Robotobibok, Momus, Ninki V, CarterTutti, Asja Auf Capri, No Bra, MissHawaii, Noxagt, David Grubbs, Oxbow, This is the Kit, Oddfellows Casino and Vanishing Breed

Released on June 3rd.

CANCELLATION

ERASE ERRATA
EBONY BONES
PARTY WEIRDO
Tuesday 15 May @ The Luminaire

With much regret, this show has now been cancelled, as Erase Errata have withdrawn from all forthcoming European tour dates, due to the ill health of bassist Ellie Erickson.

Following a gruelling US tour, Ellie is suffering with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and is unable to play many of her parts. The band hope to reschedule their European dates for July, when Ellie has made a full recovery - we'll keep you posted.

In the meantime, anyone who has bought tickets via WeGotTickets will be refunded as soon as possible. Our sincerest apolgies for any disappointment caused.

Synthesis
Monday 28 May, 2007, 9.00 – 11.00pm
Tate Modern Turbine Hall, London
Sachiko M with Benedict Drew + AVVA - Toshimaru Nakamura and Billy Roisz + Ryoichi Kurokawa

Presenting live audio-visual performances from Japan, Austria and the UK, this programme highlights artists who are exploring the use of feedback, decay, assemblage and kinetics. Central to the notion of synthesis, are artistic practices that make use of electronic, analogue and self-built instruments; tools, techniques and software for the real-time creation, improvisation and manipulation of both sound and image.

While the avant-garde movements of the modern period idealized the machine, mechanical dysfunction is now often a focus of artistic interest. In contemporary practices such as audio-visual performance and electronic music, this strategy often involves a focus on the mechanical, electronic and material qualities of the instruments themselves, as well as the re-processing and transfer of the signals they produce.

From pure sine wave to thumping sub bass this will be a sublime and immersive one-off opportunity to experience some pretty extreme electronics and visuals, in the extraordinary industrial architecture of Tate Modern's Turbine Hall. A 10 metre wide screen, an awesome sound system, cushions on the floor and an open bar. Immensely powerful, rhythmic and penetrating, this programme, in this context, will not be repeated. Book your tickets now, and don't forget your earplugs!

Part of UBS Openings: The Long Weekend

For group bookings of 10 or more people, full-time students in the group are eligible for discounted tickets at £10 each. These discount bookings must be made by phone and not via the website. A valid student card must be shown upon entry to the venue.

Sachiko M with Benedict Drew

Both accomplished improvisers, Sachiko M and Benedict Drew will punctuate the evening with precise, uncluttered simplicity. This performance presents the premier of a specially commissioned, new work, an open-ended improvisational strategy that seeks to amplify the stark industrial environment of Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall. The collaborative work makes visible the process of live interaction involving the real-time shaping of time-based sculptural elements. The collaboration will present a non-cinematic, audio-visual score involving kinetic imagery and pure sine wave. Benedict Drew presents a lucid visual field of magnified objects. Sachiko M’s muted soundscape, at times penetrating and at other times, virtually subsonic, forms a concentration of tones and frequencies that dialogue with Drew’s visual elements.

AVVA

For their performance at Tate Modern, AVVA will be performing a live improvisation, under the title of Nemu. AVVA is the duo of Toshimaru Nakamura and Billy Roisz, AVVA stands for "Audio Video/Video Audio", referring to the working method of the duo. Nakamura produces music using the internal feedback from his no-input mixing board; its musical inner workings exposed and stripped bare by recursive feedback loops. This is input into Roisz's video mixer becoming a source for its generated imagery. The result is colourful and shimmering. Between reduced sound and an extensively emptied picture, between a skeletal rhythm and a matrix of video lines. Nakamura's thumping feedback and clicking pulses infect the entire structure of the image, trembling and reflective. The image flickers and hums in response to high-frequency microtones forming continuous interwoven patterns.

Ryoichi Kurokawa

Three dimensional pixel sculptures are the result of Ryoichi Kurokawa’s audio-visual synthesis. Kurokawa destructs and reconstructs architectonic and organic abstractions with precision, coercing a complete surrendering of the senses. A minimal, yet chaotic conflux of visual and auditory perception merges into an experience of memory and ambiguity where virtual and actual images are no longer distinguishable. Kurokawa uses what he calls an “audiovisual organ” to compose spatial-time sculptures out of digitally generated material, formed from analogue field recordings. Abstract sound and imagery are perfectly synchronized, asserting a form of glitch minimalism re-assembled into complex and highly rhythmic audio-visual landscapes. Kurokawa accepts sound and imagery as a single unit, constructing precise and exquisite computer-based works that demonstrate a unique audio-visual language.
