E.A.R. electronic arts revue

Event information

Over the weekend of the 18 -19 February Clocktower Arts in partnership with White Label Music present the pioneering first instalment of The Electronic Arts Review or EAR as we like to call it. EAR takes a side step from the dance aspect of electronic music and celebrates the warmth and live expression that can be mined from a chipboard or microprocessor. From vintage synth fanatics through to 8 bit chiptune up-starts the Electronic Arts Review proudly presents a line up of artists that stretch across the broad gamut of electronic based production.

Our partner is White Label Music (WLM), a record label and publishing house founded in 2002 by Marc Hunter and Ann Shenton (the latter the founder member of art-rockers Add N to X). WLM is an independent specialist label in the field of electronic music, which released the critically acclaimed electronic Bible compilation albums featuring work from musicians as diverse as Delia Derbyshire, Sonic Boom, Billy Ray Martin and Jarvis Cocker. They also host the now legendary Sonic Weekend Experiments, a series of improvised recordings by international musicians in various locations in The UK.

FRIDAY

ANN SHENTON WARM UP DJ SET (add n to x )

AUTOROTATION

THE PROTAGONIST!

TOFFEETRONIC

SKYWATCHERS

ANN SHENTON DJ SET

From the sumptuous shoegaze fuzz of Autrotation and sumptuous sleezy sounds of The Protagonist to the jump-up tech punks like Toffeetronic, Friday night will explore the breadth and diversity of talent on the WLM roster, bands that all use electronics as the basis of their sound to wildly differing results.

Friday night culminates with a performance from Skywatchers, one of the most glorious and dramatic live bands of the moment. Space age anthemic Folk with an underlining fizz and pop of space aged electronics, capturing and simplifying the quintessentially English pastoral progressiveness of Pink Floyd and King Crimson

SATURDAY

BARRY 7 DJ SET

HEALEYISLAND

LORD NUMB

THE PYGMY GLOBETROTTERS

THE HORN THE HUNT

BARRY 7 DJ SET (add n to x)

The Horn The Hunt (THTH) aren’t like other pop bands, or the current flourish of Witch House acts to grace the current music scene. Their songs are equally magical and accessible. Reminiscent of long forgotten folk stories, embellished with futuristic sounds and contemporary beats. Visually intriguing and sonically cool.
