intern — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 16:22:13 -0700

Stella Corkery exhibition - 'way to be silver'

Stella Corkery will be showing paintings that speak to a process of material and transformation. An awkward relationship exists between the idea of making a painting, the tradition of painting and it’s relationship with art and life. Her strategy to deal with this is to objectify the work and pull in to play notions from her musical practise. Stella is currently in her third year of study for a BFA at The Elam School of Fine Arts in Auckland as well as being a long time experimental musician with the duo Whitesaucer.

Music in the Eye - graphic scores exhibition

intern — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 18:08:52 -0700

Audio Foundation graphic scores exhibition : Music in the Eye

MUSIC IN THE EYE
Since the beginning of notated music scores have held a visual fascination, both for the appreciation of a musical language and for the graphic symbols, as embodiments of the sounds they represent. The visual organisation of notes on a page can tell a lot about the nature of the music they signify. Going a step further and turning visual sign into the work itself, with or without the sound interpretation, is the very stuff of graphic scores.

MARYROSE CROOK, PURPLE PILGRIMS, THJE

Tue, 15 Feb 2011 02:01:06 -0800

Maryrose Crook’s spectral voice and calenture tunes float through New Zealand giants, The Renderers’ psychic country-punk and splatter rock, and emerge in her solo encounters with horripilated grace and filigree menace.

Purple pilgrims’ wraithish hymns evolve through a braided field of curled nautical drone and distant littoral roar, abstract thrums and change-rung celestial rustle.

Thje’s Alex Donnithorne pulls slowly aggregated and crushed guitar hum clusters in and out of focus in his OST zones to deflagrated UFO movies.

CARTOON, BRIAN CROOK'S BLACK MOX, SF, OCTOPUS, LA LAKERS, SLIME TIME LIVE

Sun, 30 Jan 2011 14:15:54 -0800

Ryan Bennett’s CARTOON contorts between the thug squelch and helium rapture of the acid house anthem, ‘Da Way U Work’, glam shred of Nitro’s Michael Angelo Batio, DMT visions of Superjail!, and squishy, neon rococo of DJ Pica Pica Pica. He plays in Dorkwind and Butt Simpson as well.

BRIAN CROOK communicates cimmerian drawl and axe scree through The Renderers, and buzzy elegiac sludge through Siltbreeze alum, The Terminals, and Kranky's Flies Inside the Sun.

ANLA COURTIS, RICHARD FRANCIS (solo), PHIL DADSON AND CLINTON WATKINS (duo)

admin — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 16:14:58 -0800

Anla Courtis is a composer with a playful, imaginative, borderless and truly free handwriting. He uses fragments of sound to build new, cohesive works and barely manipulated, cohesive recordings to construct dissected, cut-up-style tracks. Particular methods and tools are not entirely unimportant, as Courtis still holds a warm feeling towards his analog equipment. He regards the entire world as sound, its emanations as words of a language, which wants to be spoken and reconstructed in the studio and on stage each day.

Most of this stuff has not been screened in public for many years and it has an important documental and filmic value. Originally these movies were exhibited along with live music. In this program the sound will come from a live music performance oriented to experimental drone and abstract noise.

KUTOMO (FIN), WITCHUALS

Tue, 18 Jan 2011 16:30:07 -0800

Kutomo’s Veli-Matti Ikavalko is a Brisbane-based artist from Finland, whose collaborative co-conspirators include the likes of Larkin Grimm (Young God Records, ex-Dirty Projectors), Keijo and the Free Players, and Jani Hirvonen (Uton, Hevoset). His work as Kutomo melts between ceremonial cabin floor folk and medieval-like keyboard reflection, and invokes the psychic liturgical serenity of Hildegard of Bingen via the animist counterpoint of Meredith Monk. His work has appeared on Bedroom Suck (Blank Realm, Kitchen's Floor), Dala Horse (Richard Moult) and Jozik (Hobo Cubes, Bjerga/Iversen).

Orchestra of Spheres, Reuben Derrick & IRD

Fri, 07 Jan 2011 16:07:47 -0800

Wellington's Orchestra of Spheres’ limitless funk and cosmic highlife explorations are inspired by what they call 'the hypnotic beats of Kuduro, repetitive minimalist Bornean sape music, free jazz and improvised music, and the celestial chimes of gamelan’, but the group stake out their own territory with their prismatic minimalism, soukous-like dizziness and eminent boogie.

Yek Koo (US), LA Lakers, Purple Pilgrims

Mon, 03 Jan 2011 17:20:55 -0800

Yek Koo's chanson mirages and supernatural lap-steel exaltation is the musical invention of Metal Rouge’s Helga Fassonaki, whose siren conduct has been compared to the work of artists such as Christina Carter, Heather-Leigh Murrary and Fursaxa. As Stunned Records writes, Fassonaki's 'lone voice etches straight to dictaphone the vibrations which have been petrified far too long in mere stone & silicone. Identity awoken in a night of raw fidelity, this oracle’s expression inhabits trance tones and punk-chant poesis'. Her music has appeared on labels next to Steven R.

Metal Rouge (US/NZ), The Renderers, Antony Milton, Adam Willetts

Mon, 03 Jan 2011 17:18:31 -0800

Andrew Scott and Helga Fassonaki’s Metal Rouge channels what the couple call the ‘forward motion of ecstatic jazz and drugged stasis of NYC loft minimalism circa ’66’, invoking their magical tumult and doomy elation through a vivid moiré of uplifting guitar confusion and requiem-like, choral unease. Based in LA since 2006, they have recorded albums for Digitalis, Stunned, Not Not Fun and their own newborn Emerald Cocoon.

The Trons album Release, with DEAN

glocke — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 14:58:26 -0800

The Trons begin their album release tour this weekend at the Wine Cellar, along with 4 guitar and a casiotone shoegazers DEAN.

The Trons have no human members, all musicians being machines made from junk and salvaged electronic gear. They have been gigging around 3 years now, being based in the Waikato swamps but also having now ventured twice to Europe to play Prague, Vienna and Berlin. Influences are the Clean, Velvet Underground and Stereolab. Shows include live visuals fed from cameras on the guitar bodies that pick up all the mechanisms.

Following their US excursion alongside Pigeons and Wet Hair, and their sophomore LP on Siltbreeze (Times New Viking, Sic Alps, US Girls), the duo’s heavenly garage anthems, liminal haunt funk, and transfixing, psychedelic mantras are poised to captivate audiences around the country in mid-December.

BLACK YOGHURT, GLASGOW, GOD DESTROYER

Tue, 09 Nov 2010 18:05:59 -0800

Assembling a lawless foreground of surgical gabber delirium and ADHD syncopation against a kaleidoscopic milieu of crystalline keyboard churn and string-like electric skuzz, Dunedin’s BLACK YOGHURT ghosts a hyped-up line of inquiry misled by the likes of Duran Duran Duran, Shitmat and Kid 606, while instituting an especially rabid bipolar fuckedness that flicks between club-chill and -seizure.

VDO, SF, TIM COSTER, LA LAKERS

Wed, 03 Nov 2010 00:05:28 -0700

The ‘ambient cassette musick’ of VDO is the product of Melbourne artists, Joshua Petherick and Christopher L.G. Hill. Their "Wholesale", "Retail" and "Opportunity Shopping" releases on Bunyip Trax are a window display of croupy choral riffage, containing pausal but eternal preludes of fucked tapery and crypt dronology. Hill is the co-director of Y3K Gallery and both contribute to jahjahsphinx.blogspot.com. Petherick and Hill's performance coincides with their exhibition appearance at Gambia Castle.

Fri, 22 Oct 2010 16:39:57 -0700

The aerogel pop and droplet house of Awesome Vortex is the product of Christchurch and Melbourne synthetists, Adam Willetts and Tim Coster. Like a fake meeting between Koji Kondo and Ussachevsky in a fibreoptic canopy clearing, their elektronische rites are both Otaku geek and Nihilist getdown. Coster is the head of CLaudia (Metal Rouge, Plains, Currer Bells) and new label, Fictitious Sighs (Greens, Pinks and Whites, Vogue Forums, Paeces). Willetts has performed locally and abroad alongside Sun Araw, Ducktails, Akio Suzuki, Dan Deacon and High Places.

Altmusic Presents: Richard Youngs (UK) National Tour

Mon, 04 Oct 2010 20:22:35 -0700

Richard Youngs is one of the most acclaimed, chameleon-like explorers of modern music, traversing a diverse set of distinctive and multi-instrumental forms that encompass avant-folk, psychedelic drone, progressive minimalism, lysergic pop, and rock concréte. The stark, unyielding minimalism of his piano-oriented 1990 debut, Advent, prompted The Wire’s Alan Licht to list it alongside works by Terry Riley, Steve Reich, Phil Niblock, and Tony Conrad as a revelatory favourite of rare minimalism, while Youngs’ subsequent and prolific collaborations with Simon Wickham-Smith as R!!! &S!!!

Fckn Killer Sun, Bible Black, Simon O'Rorke Trio

Thu, 30 Sep 2010 22:25:33 -0700

Fckn Killer Sun is a reincarnation of the ecstatic psych trio, Glory Fckn Sun. Joan Armatrading sits in for expatriate, Ben Spiers and splashes it alongside Antony Milton and gong-brain percussionist, Simon O’Rorke. Mimaroglu has described Glory’s Tipped Bowler LP as a set of ‘gorgeous, muted improv-psych extrapolations, jointly knit into a batch of tight guitar / violin / percussion burners’.

SUN ARAW (US), Witchuals

Thu, 30 Sep 2010 21:53:25 -0700

Sun Araw is the recording project of Long Beach, California resident, Cameron Stallones, who also performs in Magic Lantern, the Not Not Fun garage soul dream team, Vibes, and an erstwhile incarnation of the celebrated ‘outsider Funkadelics’, Pocahaunted.

Augmented live by Nick Malkin, Araw’s blown up, largo funk bass lines, gunky Archimedean Farfisa spiral, tremulous plasma guitar blats, rapturously curly choral polyphonies and lucid swamp is a cinematographic safari that Pitchfork has described as ‘panoramic, dizzyingly huge’.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE.

Auckland artist Chris Hargreaves presents The Halo Project
installed at Uxbridge Creative Centre as part of the Manukau Festival of Arts from 15th October - 31st October, 2010.

The dawn chorus is silenced by jet engines... metronomic steps are interrupted by an authoritarian loudspeaker... ebbing waves are broken by playful children...

Artist Chris Hargreaves creates a stunning collision of the sounds of the Manukau region with his sculptural new media exhibition at Uxbridge Centre of Arts as part of the Manukau Festival of Arts 2010.

Jan Anderzén - 'Nuotteja'

Sun, 19 Sep 2010 18:24:06 -0700

Jan Anderzén is a Finnish artist whose visual practice is a kaleidoscopic ghosting of his celebrated sonic wanderlust in Kemialliset Ystävät and Tomutonttu.

His collagist, painterly work is heavily populated with furry geometries and carnivalesque planes that stick out with playful grace into alien fields of ebullient, mycological action, trippy galactic splatter, and dripped up creaturedom.

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 17:49:07 -0700

Revisiting childhood experiences of fictionalised warfare, The Fuck Chairs' installation is a military fortress fabricated from recycled domestic artifacts and handmade weapons - its violence and play synthesized and portrayed as the primitive renderings of a generation of unconscientious objectors.

Nominally inspired by a side-scrolling hack and slash arcade game, Golden Axe’s cult pop and hyper-transgressive Pump and Circumstance rematerializes in Christchurch for the first time since 2007. Loaded with beguiling pop gems and un-guiding, upbeat cosmic adventures, the duo have recently emancipated a glut of irreverent cover versions, including Katy Perry’s ‘Hot and Cold’ and Michael Jackson’s ‘Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'. This is the album release show for their third album, ‘Fantasy Footwork’.

SF’s 1996 Flying Nun EP, ‘Supra’ is a dark, minimalist blaze, adorned by the strange ingénue and weirdo, feline giggle of artist, Saskia Leek.

Bill Orcutt emerged as one of the most influential guitar players of the 1990s, alongside drummer Adris Hoyos in the seminal Miami-based free rock band, Harry Pussy, their half-decade existence throwing up a boutique of caustic masterpieces alongside equally luminary cohorts on labels including Chocolate Monk (Richard Youngs, Incapacitants, Bruce Russell) and Siltbreeze (Charalambides, Guided By Voices, The Shadow Ring), but their volatile, calamitous sound has remained their matchless own.

Jeff Henderson is one of New Zealand’s most preeminent musicians, appearing in an array of assorted musical incarnations and running an agile and provocative gamut from blown-out saxophone skronk to Vodou stomp and Rasin psych, from Neanderthal opera to Ongaku reductionism. He has appeared alongside a host of like-minded and stellar figures, including Steve Lacy, Marilyn Crispell, Evan Parker, Han Bennink, William Parker and The Necks’ Tony Buck. His investigative yet visceral approach to performance is lucid and enthralling.

mr sterile — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 21:43:41 -0800

Uz Jsme Doma, (pronounced oosh-smeh-dough-ma), are a progressive rock band from Czech Republic, who originally formed in northwest border town Teplice in 1985. The band's name translates literally to, "we're home now" but, as an idiom, means something more like, "well, there we go" in Czech conversation.

PUMICE, VOLT, RICHARD SCOWEN

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 08:52:09 -0800

The crumbling lattice rock and cherubic choral goo of Stefan Neville’s Pumice (http://www.myspace.com/pumarse) was last witnessed here alongside US’ Grouper and has more recently been performed over in the States itself, meanwhile being committed to record on both Soft Abuse (Wooden Wand, The Futurians, Hala Strana, The Skygreen Leopards) and Dirty Knobby (Astral Social Club, Peter Wright, Our Love Will Destroy the World).

The Futurians, Murderbike, Zombie?Fuck!, CJA, Grunge Genesis

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 21:19:16 -0700

The proton b-punk and recalcitrant rock of The Futurians has been described by their Minneapolis label, Soft Abuse as 'analog futurism performed by a group of sci-fi addicted noise freaks.’ Its zonked clique of superheroes, consisting of Duckling Monster, CJA, Mandroid, and ISO12, creates a garage din straight out of the border territories of some bio-junk comic plot in a windswept cathode past. “It's Wolf Eyes meets The Troggs, Teenage Jesus & the Jerks meets This Kind of Punishment’, Soft Abuse continues.

Take a trip back to the 1982 summer season and come parasailing through sun-stoned peach skies and glimmering turquoise waters for this special one-off Christchurch show by Matt Mondanile’s DUCKTAILS. 2009 has been a momentous year for this New Jersey native, who has released two acclaimed LPs on label du jour, Not Not Fun and boutique Olde English Spelling Bee, and a veritable mass of other material under various aliases such as The Parasails and Predator Vision, his blog-darling band Real Estate, and the continental offworlder unit, Africa Germany Germany Mexico Turkey Australia.

Altmusic presents: CHRIS WATSON (UK)

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:04:13 -0700

Altmusic is proud to present Chris Watson as the final artist in 2009's performance series.

Chris Watson is one of the world's leading sound recordists specialising in capturing the sounds of wildlife and natural phenomena.

Watson puts his microphone where you can't put your ears. In this performance you might hear the unearthly groaning of an Icelandic glacier or the voices and rhythms of the Humboldt current around the Galapagos Islands.

SHOJI HANO (JP) National Tour

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 06:52:16 -0700

Born in 1955, based in Tokyo, Shoji Hano is one of free-jazz, noise and psychedelic rock’s most preeminent percussionists and brilliant all-round sages.

Widely regarded on the same consecrated plane as celebrated jazz heavyweights, the late Rashied Ali, Milford Graves, and his own mentors Max Roach and Art Blakey, Shoji’s solo drumming is a mesmerizing feat to witness, and displays a bewildering dexterity that’s both physically and psychically difficult to attribute to the motions of one individual player.

Producer of hits like 'Love is my Motor', 'Balls', 'Eurovision / Otravision' and 'Dance Classics', ILIOS is dance music’s brain-mulching enemy.

xNoBBQx (AUS) / GRUNGE GENESIS + BRUCE RUSSELL

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 02:24:57 -0700

The Australian drums and guitar duo xNoBBQx are frequently compared to North American noise-rock legends Harry Pussy and Mouthus et al., but as its members Nik Dan and Matt Earle suggest, that’s only a point of reference for hipsters and themesters. Their deconstructive seizure punk might be a more direct channeling of the disobedient spirits on our own Bruce Russell’s legendary Xpressway label. ‘If the Dead C are the AMM of punk rock’, Seht’s Stephen Clover has suggested, ‘then xNoBBQx are a stop-motion Morton Feldman’.

PINK REASON (US) / MARYROSE & BRIAN CROOK + CRECHE / ADAM WILLETTS + NDLSS DMNSN

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 02:03:59 -0700

The bent, de-learned and congested drone, rear-ended syncopations, psychotropic jazz, autistic ragtime and geological gangster punk of Columbus, Ohio’s Pink Reason is made by a leviathan of transitory board members chaired by one Kevin de Broux, the witchdoctor of spiked rhumba dance contests and wrong Powerpoint presentations. Entirely uncertified sonic bookies and musical genre traitors, their sound can vary radically from Health & Medicine to New Age Religion & Philosophy to Business Directories. Total Purity and Danger.

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 02:01:16 -0700

Ohio’s Ryan Jewell is Secretary of both the UFOlogical Drummer Summit and Abducted Rare Species Groove Conference, 90210 A.C. Antenna to the percussion deities, Jewell channels the same octopus tempers as fellow un-counters, Chris Corsano, Edie Prevost, Tim Barnes, Chris O’Connor and the Dialogue of Drums, but lands in a separate dyslexic ocean completely, soft abrasions and filament scratches hook up on a dexterous mulch tide of brush slithers and skimmed respires, all with the most minimal of instrumental elements.

Rosy Tin Teacaddy Album Release w/ Jess Chambers

Earl Grey Records — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 02:22:16 -0800

Wellington-based, indie-folk ensemble, Rosy Tin Teacaddy, are proud to announce a cure for homesickness in the release of their new album, The Homeward Stretch.

Following their 2007 debut ‘Blind Leading the Blind’, The Homeward Stretch is a collection of loosely interwoven vignettes featuring temptresses and miscreants. Some are flights of fancy, dedications to loss, or rants from the confessional booth. Others are memories glimpsed through rose-tinted glasses - or an empty bottle of absinthe. There is the occasional cannibalistic dinner and inappropriate suggestion.

Tenniscoats is the playful moniker of Saya and Ueno Takashi, a maniacally cute combustion of telepathic Japanese minds that have captured the attention of a swelling audience attuned to and usually pretty smitten with the subtle ecstasy of their supra-pop chimes, muted skeletal breakbeats, joyfully wistful and whispered vocals, whirring brassy parabolas and lapping aquatic twinkles that cloud around vignette-like song forms like soft expressways which go straight to listeners’ sticky hearts.

She submerges her songs in a shimmering haze of hiss, looping chorals and decomposed guitar feedback, but somewhere in there you can hear the ghosts of My Bloody Valentine or possibly Slowdive.

Altmusic presents TennisCoats and Rachel Shearer

admin — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 19:41:24 -0800

Tokyo's Tenniscoats centre around the duo of Saya and Taskashi Ueno, a married couple who have been making music since 2000, and together run the highly regarded Japanese label Majikick Records.Tenniscoats manage to reign in the sounds of the avant-garde and knit them into accessible and wonderfully listenable vignettes in which you find yourself going back to again and again. Their starting point is pop songs, but with a staggeringly free approach: psychedelic folk tunes, complex instrumentals and short pop jewels side by side, everything is possible.

JUSTICE YELDHAM, EMPIRICAL + THE EMPIRICAL ORCHESTRA

admin — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 19:37:41 -0800

What's been described as "a trumpet player trapped in a two dimensional universe" is in fact the unique audio work of Justice Yeldham, a maverick musician with an unhealthy obsession with sheets of broken glass. By pressing his face and lips against the glass whist employing various vocal techniques ranging from throat singing to raspberries, he turns disguarded household windows into crude musical instruments. Resulting in a wide variety of cacophonous noises that are strangely controlled and oddly musical.

Fri, 09 Jan 2009 22:01:35 -0800

Ginger Brown

Transmit — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 16:19:21 -0800

Like nothing you have heard before - the thunderous resonance of Ginger Brown is destined for Auckland’s Whammy Bar early January 2009.

The psychedelic three piece from Wellington city is an amalgamation of furious drums, throbbing Rhodes bass, wild Hammond organ, vivacious vocals and soaring guitar, igniting a swirl of 50's-60's psychedelia and modern rock with undertones of Cabaret and carnival.

Their recent debut album ‘Who Scared Who’ had one reviewer nominate Ginger Brown as a contender for New Zealand’s most innovative album.

Distinguished by lashings of lap-steel guitar, lush vocal harmony sing-a-longs, taonga puoro and banjo punctuations, The Woolshed Sessions is a fresh approach for New Zealand songwriting.

ALT.MUSIC EVENT - Daniel Menche, Birchville Cat Motel and Golden Axe

admin — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 16:47:48 -0700

“If music is like blood - then make the speakers bleed" Daniel Menche

Daniel Menche has established himself as a musician with a sense of focus and determination uncharacteristic in a genre known for its randomness and chaotic structure. Rather than creating "noise," he strives for order and cohesiveness. Subtle and patient compositions rely on long, dense layers of droning sounds, while abrasive pieces rely on sounds amplified and processed to extreme levels, pushing the full spectrum of frequencies to the most threshold of limits.

SOUND CIRCUIT

admin — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 16:45:37 -0700

SOUND CIRCUIT
13 March - 20 April
Sound Circuit is a suite of four temporary sound projects commissioned by the Adam Art Gallery to take place in public spaces around Wellington in March and April 2008.

Using various downtown sites, Sound Circuit explores the city through sound.

The Audio Foundation presents the first 2008 Alt.music events, The Necks

admin — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 20:17:07 -0800

The Necks are one of the great cult bands of Australia. With next to no publicity, their thirteen albums have sold in their thousands.

Chris Abrahams (piano), Tony Buck (drums), and Lloyd Swanton (bass) conjure a chemistry together that defies description in orthodox terms.

These three musicians are among the most respected and in-demand in Australia, working in every field from pop to avant-garde. Over 200 albums feature their presence individually or together, but the music of The Necks stands apart from everything else they have done.

music, and is a regular contributor to the recently controversial (ahem) Wire magazine."

$5 on the door! Please try and make it on time, theres a lot to see and we will be punctual(ish
