Sheepscar Excommunication

Now, it may not be common knowledge, but Kevin Sanders aka Petals; head honcho of the wonderful Hairdryer Excommunication, used to live (like me) in sunny Sheepscar. However, I should mention that he wasn't excommunicated from Sheepscar, he left with the blessing of LS8 for the equally tropical climes of Huddersfield. The title of this blog post relates instead to what has been a very exciting collaboration between Mr Sanders and my good self.

Readers of the Hairdryer Excommunication blog may have already spotted the following;


Hopefully there will be more to report very soon, with details on the release of 'Daniel Thomas & Kevin Sanders - Transit Timing Observations from Kepler'.


An unrelated collaborative oddity...

Crow Versus Crow & SLI Present...


So, the wonderful Crow Versus Crow and Sheepscar Light Industrial have teamed up to present...

Petrels, Aqua Dentata, Max Bondi, BBBlood & Ben Gaymer...

Saturday 15th September 2012, Wharf Chambers, Leeds

Facebook event page here.


Petrels (Tartaruga Records / Denovali Records)

'...A deluge of beautiful noise and crushing melody, which ebbs and flows beneath the surface. Utilizing bowed strings, discarded electronics, found percussion and occasional vocals, portentous drone and cascading rhythm.’

Aqua Dentata

As Aqua Dentata, Eddie Nuttall (Baraclough) creates sounds with synths, tapes and, according to the blurb at Beartown Records, "bowed miscellany"; sounds to consume and get lost in, be they shimmering and beautiful or throbbing and fizzing...

Max Bondi (Tartaruga Records)

'...An exploration of constraint, limitations, and repetition. Fragments of sound fold in upon themselves, constructing patterns and melodies which overlay, interfere and diverge, varying from dense clusters of pulsing frequencies to torrents of cascading electronic notes.

This is uncompromising machine music, but with a melodic edge, rhythmical but irregular, ‘electrical’ rather than electronic.'

BBBlood

Paul Watson, aka BBBlood, is a maestro of noise. Harsh noise. Wandering through his extensive back catalogue, you'll come up against some pretty intense sounds; however, there's a depth and consideration with Paul's approach that soon has you warming to them and reaping the rewards accordingly...

Please note that all the copies I had of I Can Remember The Faces Of All The Grebs At My School have now been sold, although the free download is still available. If, however, you'd like to contact Mel, via her blog, I think she still has a few copies for sale.
