FURROWED RESIDENCY: Multi-collaborations - Voice/Turntables/Drums/Cello/Sax

Furrowed Residency night 2 ⋙ ⋙ Furrowed x Voice/Turntables/Drums/Cello/Sax ⋘⋘

We are exceedingly pumped about this residency :: The brilliant turntablist, sound artist & musician Furrowed will embark on a deep exploration of his new instrument (modified turntables) featuring multi-collaborations and two back-to-back shows in one week!

During the final night of his residency, sound-tattooing record-maker in residence, Furrowed will be performing new work exploring collaboration with Bunty (vocals /FX), Rival Self (Turntables), Alexander Painter (cello/sax/FX) and FROST (Drums).

This is likely to include improvisation, multiple discs, spaces, turntables and materials. For anyone who loves weird grooves, records and other one-off sonic happenings.

From piano to tape loops, vocalists to scratch DJ, synth fantasies to cello magic and a really epic drummer - we can’t wait to hear the fruits of this residency!

Furrowed (Dylan Beattie) is a producer, lecturer and sound artist using circuit-bent record making equipment and electronics to create distinctive performances. As part of his unique approach, sound is ‘tattooed’ to blank discs by hand as multiple pickups trace modified surfaces. His sonic palette ranges from electronic and melodic tones, to hypnotic and cross-rhythms, analogue surface glitches and sound fragments as he inscribes sounds from various sources live to disc. Locked grooves provide structure as records are overlaid with new sounds and artefacts from tonearm behaviours. Expect lo-fi looping, clicks, pops and crunch as records are made, celebrated and destroyed live.

Bunty – Voice /FX

Bunty is the avant-pop project of artist and vocal improviser, Kassia Zermon. Best known for pioneering underground experimental vocal loop shows and fronting UK leading Dub act Resonators. Bunty’s powerful one woman electro-orchestra combines the rawness of early M.I.A with the lyrical espionage of Tom Waits and a voice that can sound as sweet as Ella Fitzgerald. Live Bunty uses her synths, toys, ukulele, voice, effects pedals and a mash of real and made-up languages. She whispers, bellows, beatboxes, claps and stamps producing impressive vocal harmonies for her hook heavy tunes.

Alexander Painter - Cello

Alex is a composer, songwriter, sound designer and multi-instrumental performer. Using cello, saxophone, piano and voice, he employs experimental techniques, DIY effects units, tape manipulation and improvisation to create a unique palette of sounds. As a solo live performer and collaborator Alex works with artists such as Orlando Weeks, Gazelle Twin, William Doyle, Tony Njoku, Mike Lindsay and Anna B. Savage.

Frost - drums

Dale Frost aka FROST explores the intersection between live drums and electronic music. Using a drum kit and sampler he explores fractured polyrhythms, displaced beats, and glitched loops. Drawing from electronica, post-rock, and jazz - focus is on expanding a unique rhythmic vocabulary, blending the synthetic with the organic, and pushing the boundaries of live electronic performance from behind a drum kit.
