Make It Up Club – LET'S NOISE!

SPASMOSLOP on MIUC Online

I recently contributed a video for Make It Up Club’s current online gig series… and of course I forgot to mention it here in time for the stream but you can watch the whole gig, and all the previous ones, on the MIUC youtube channel now.
My home recording set-up is pretty shit and I’m not too stoked about how this turned out sound-wise but it was fun/stressful to do. Thanks MIUC for having me!
HOT TIP: UMBILICAL TENTACLE will be doing a collab with Christian Bishop A.K.A. XIAN for the last MIUC of the year streaming on the 22nd of December!

DEATH BY CONES is a quadraphonic/surround-sound noise bath with rotating line-ups which I’ve done a few times over the last few years in a few different venues. Speakers face in, audience goes in the middle for maximum vibrations! Massive thanks to Annalee Koernig and Ari Sharp for cooking this one up!

WANKOSLOP @ MIUC 26/04/2017

To wring out the final, spluttering bursts of warmth in Melbtown’s April summer and ease us into the sonic bleakness of winter 2017, MIUC hosts some fittingly abstracted and chaotic atonal improv this week. Intrinsic Light are a long-standing, yet occasional collaboration of two trailblazers of the no-core, break-bruit, anti-tonic, darklight Melbourne scene, fusing the grim and the hopeful in a maelstrom of riffblasting transcendence. The similarly inspired duo of Yuka Mikayama and Nik Kennedy deliver intense blasts of post-grind-noise-improv madness. And, kicking things off, the ultra-digital and the ultra-analogue combination of intrepid A/V artist Vijay Thillaimuthu with MIUC curatorial alumni, theremin-core protégé, Kerrie Farnsworth.

• Intrinsic Light feat. A Demon Sheen (Tantric Riffage, Blackened Throat) & Zen Tait (Pranic Percussions, Benevolent Blast)

• Wankoslop feat. Nik Kennedy (Electro-Oral Noise) & Yuka Mikayama (Voice)

• Xenosine aka Vijay Thillaimuthu (Synths, Electronics) & Phantom Graveller aka Kerrie Farnsworth (Theremin, Sax, Electronics)
