Exotic Pylon: Exotic Pylon Sinfonia/Outer Church (DJ)/Sculpture/Mamuthones/Jigoku

Event information

Exotic Pylon Sinfonia
Synaesthetic explorations- the exploding plastic inevitable disintegrating with cosmic dust – improvisation from Position Normal, Time Attendant, I am a Vowel + more tba, film from Scott Byrne and dancing from Kathy Pearlson.

Outer Church (DJ)
Providing sound sustenance throughout the evening, Joe Stannard’s (The Wire)Brighton-based House of the Holy departs from his underground occultural explorations to bring us a phat selection of classic metal, rock and sundry other delights. You can check the boy’s special technique here: http://theouterchurch.blogspot.com/

Sculpture
A genuine audio-visual fusion- Sculpture is a marriage of Dan Hayhurt’s sound and Reuben Sutherland’s animations. Pulled together from vintage and analogue equipment and pursuing a derangement of the senses, tape loops are pushed through guitar pedals, a sampler and a mixer while a mobile camera is used to zoom across the duo’s own Zoetrope-like picture disk. You can check their highly idiosyncratic work at The Wire here: http://thewire.co.uk/articles/5427/ and the website is here: http://www.tapebox.co.uk/Tapebox/Home.html

Mamuthones
You’re going to lose your mind… Alessio Gastaldello’s post Jennifer Gentle solo project has now swollen to frenetic and morbid heights of psychedelic freak-out with the recruitment of Marco Fasolo (also ex-JG) on guitar, Slumberwood’s Mateo Polato and the extraordinary wildcard of 62 year drummer Maurizio Boldrin a veteran of countless Italian scenes and ex-member of Pino Donaggio’s band. Mamuthones are a far-out unholy racket of a band and an insight into a small but brilliantly out-there underground scene that deserves much greater recognition.

Jigoku
Jigoku were not only light-years ahead of the current vogue for mashing up sonic intensities with genre and exploitation visuals but are even further out… A collaboration between DJ Lovely Jon and Cherrystones, their hyper-intense, lurid and gaudy film capturing skills are micro-edited in conjunction with a live DJ deployment of techno/ italo/ thrash/ trash/ punk/ kosmiche/ soundtrack/ krautrock oh you name it, it’s in there – a total breakdown of boundaries between performance, DJ and film- entirely original, wild as hell and utterly compelling. And if you don’t believe me then just click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAWd3iGI15k.
