‘New decaying kosmische spools from the bedroom of local seer Brume... Marble-rattling, synth stabbing works-for-industry Exhaust Trails takes us on a more melodic slant than previous MB haunts. Maybe melodic isn’t the right word, but it’s as if the NYC ambient school (K. Leimer / Marc Barreca etc) took a field trip across the pond and got dusted down in all the car-fart and truck-belch of central London. For all the playful, pathfinder synthesis that takes the lead, there’s a sorta agoraphobic atmosphere that hangs thick in the air throughout the whole 30 minutes or so, with delay units commanding and contorting an array of bric-a-brac powered sound design in the background. A real development of an already singular sound. To have such quality music / art so humbly documented and disseminated is rare these days, and properly exciting. ’ - Low Company

Z’EV: THERE YOU GO. AN EVENING SUMMONING RHYTHMAJIK @ South London Gallery
An evening celebrating the life and work of composer/percussionist, visual artist, poet and theorist Z’EV, who passed away in December 2017 aged 66. Best known for his explorations of acoustic phenomenon, from the late 1970s Z’EV created abstract percussion soundscapes improvised out of found materials, initially working purely with acoustic sound and later with digital processing. His singular live performances were both physical spectacles and investigations of “spatial poetics”. Across nearly four decades he collaborated internationally with musicians, dancers, poets, performance artists and visual artists, amongst them Anne Bean, Bow Gamelan Ensemble, Glenn Branca, Christian Marclay, Charlemagne Palestine, Chris Watson, Richard Wilson and John Zorn. He wrote extensively on Kabbalah and rhythm, reformulating it to an Earth-based paradigm he called Rhythmajik, which he noted “is not about music but spells out the use of rhythm and sound and proportion for trance and healing.”
Join us for this special event with Z’EV’s friends and collaborators summoning Rhythmajik, with contributions from Anne Bean & Richard Wilson, Max Eastley, Ken Hyder, Marie-Gabrielle Rotie and Nick Parkin, Rory Salter, Barbara Steveni, Richard Strange and Ellen Zweig.

Tweedle Cassette's released on Nervous Energy Records
A music project experimenting mostly with sound collage and single-take improvisations. Whilst making these tapes I spent a lot of time thinking about the integration of synthesised sounds into the everyday, as technology is now such prominent part in our lives - and with that the sounds of such technologies. This was something I wanted to capture in the compositions and live performances. Working with electronics, field recordings and found objects. For the time being I have moved away from this project, but may return to it in the future. Both cassette's were released through Nervous Energy Records.
