SJ ESAU + CIRCUIT BREAKER

Event information

SJ ESAU
http://www.anticon.com/index.php?section=artist&target=SJ+Esau&js=yes

SJ Esau employs experimental techniques, lyrical gymnastics and rhythmic prestidigitation to create multi-layered, manic psych-pop compositions. Combining a stunning visual art show with a bizarre blend of sound, rhythm, loops and instruments, SJ Esau is an incredible live performer.
A veteran of the ultra-cool Bristol scene, Esau has played around the ...world, including Barcelona’s Primavera festival and Brighton's Great Escape. Esau's last two albums were released on legendary label, Anticon Records. Winner of Venue Magazine's Top Banana award, he is playing a handful of shows in preparation for his next full length released later this year.
As a solo-performer, SJ Esau makes the technical challenge of sounding like an entire band, or even an entire orchestra look easy, whilst creating an immersive, engrossing sound, one that is haunting and amazing.
"Playing a good half dozen instruments through a series of loops and delays, newer songs demonstrate an increasingly complex sonic direction, almost choral in arrangement at times, often crescendoing in massive, sustained noise wig outs." - The Fly


CIRCUIT BREAKER
http://circuitbreakerband.blogspot.com/

Circuit Breaker, using invented instruments and broken electronics, force together their dissatisfaction with written compositions and improvised music to create spontaneous noise driven songs loosely constructed on site before collapsing into the depths of dark drones. This method aims for spontaneity, discovery and error to occur within each performance.
