^ PRESENTING...
Another diverse evening of sound experiences at
Dalston's Cafe Oto.

[Our last event at this venue was packed, so advance
booking advised...see link below.]

Date: Tues 17th February

Line up:

ALEXIS O'HARA
Alexis O'Hara is an interdisciplinary artist whose work was nurtured
in the lively cabaret & avant-noise scenes in Montreal. Sampling and
processing her voice in real-time, using lo-tech electronics and the
chimerical properties of electrical feedback, she creates live performances
that combine electro-acoustic maximalism and psychedelic story telling.
With improvisation she explores the possibilities of error and failure,
circumstances in which the spectator is refocused with present-minded
awareness. The eclecticism of her work attracts international programmers
from various disciplines from spoken word and sound art to live art and music.
Alexis has been known to wear clothes that run on batteries.

INVISIBLE BEES
Invisible bees are a primitive-psych-folk-duo 'united in their aim to send
time out of joint'. Their sound is 'darkly hypnotic-droney-buzzy with
primitive saz-warm accordion swell, minimal guitar motifs-strummed
violin-tolling bells-bowed metal and devotional vocals'. The Bees'
Damian Burgess and Norwegian Elin Eriksen are both London-based,
but originally from Manchester and Oslo respectively, and list Black
Sabbath, Harry Partch, Sonic Youth, Philip K Dick, The Melvins, Neil
Young, Derek Bailey, Tarkovsky, Henry Flynt and Beefheart amongst
their inspirations.

NINE OWLS IN A BAGUETTE
This surreal group's founder is artist Patrick Furness, primarily a sound
designer, who has run workshops with the Sonic Arts Network (including
their Sonic Postcard project) and Cineclub. As well as also being a radio
producer (for Horse Hospital Radio on Resonance FM), Furness is involved
with other collaborative projects such as Naked With Horses, and Daydream
Nation. Wearing bizarre outfits and making a strange noise, the Nine Owls are
a sight and sound to behold.
