Audio response to visual score “Frequency Assembly 1” created by Tina Douglas for “hypha_e” visual score/performance project – http://www.tinadouglas.net/hypha_e
One 15-minute track in 6 parts, representing my interpretation of the 6 panels of the visual score. Abstract worlds, ambiguous realities, transmissions of unknown origin, and other mysterious sci-fi shit.
Thanks to Nat Grant from Let Your Freak Flag Fly for asking me to contribute! Suss the release on bandcamp or donate at http://3cr.org.au if you’re able to.
On a personal note… it’s taken a really fckn long time and countless hours of self-teaching, experimenting and disappointing recording sessions going into the bin, but in the last couple of years I’m finally getting closer to making SPASMOSLOP recordings that line up with what I want the project to sound/feel like. More to come in the future! If anyone’s actually reading this and gives a shit – stay tuned.

Jassy (Robinson and Robertson, BOGMIND), and Darlene (AA Matheson, Deer Head Apparition) will be playing a collaborative set as their duo WE1 XAM, celebrating the triple launch of their albums:
SPASMOSLOP Multi-banded, multiinstrumentalist noise maker Nik Kennedy doing harsh noise sloptronics through an unseemly collection of effects pedals. https://spasmoslop.bandcamp.com/
JASMIN WING-YIN LEUNG Jasmin adventures through space and sound meticulously exploring the possibilities of harmonic frequencies in different acoustic surrounds, often times with her Erhu as her vessel along with tape and other instruments. https://www.jasminwingyinleung.com/
CELIAC Celiac aka Miel makes huge and righteous cybergoth jams about confronting society about its bullshit ableist deterrents and attitudes, and their disability advocacy journey, putting a spotlight on the way society invisiblises people with disabilities. https://celiac.bandcamp.com/music
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_* This event takes place on the stolen land of the Wurundjeri people and we pay respects to elders past and present, as well as all First Nations people to who we owe immeasurable reparations for harm done through ongoing colonisation and genocide. The venue and artists will contribute part of the takings to pay the rent.
This venue has limitations to accessibility. There are small steps at the entrance and to the beer garden exit which leads to the toilets. Parking can be difficult due to it being a busy street but there are spaces to pull up for dropping off. The number 11 tram stops at the entrance to the venue at stop 17.
The venue has gender neutral bathrooms.
You can text the organiser on 0400804316 if you are feeling unsafe at this event, or if you would like someone to talk to or introduce you to people if you are coming on your own, and you will be treated with respect and discretion.
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!
Haven’t updated here for ages… I haven’t really done any “proper” music/noise during the pandemic but I did get this amazing new noise machine from my friend and humble genius Electrofarts, which I’m calling the FART SWASH. It’s an Electrofarts interpretation of the 4MS Noise Swash and it sounds fuggin siiiiiiick!!!
Based in Brooklyn (NY), Verhalten is the project of rhythmic noise powerhouse Patrick Scott (who also curates US label Modern Tapes). Verhalten uses Surgical minimalism, distorted repetition and harsh walls of textural sound are used to truly dissect the failures of power structures and the human condition.
We are extremely excited to have Verhalten appearing at Longplay Cinema December 3rd.
December 2nd 7pm doors first act 7:15 sharp
5/10 (noone turned away for lack of funds)
We acknowledge this show is being held on the occupied land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.
LET'S NOISE!
