electronicmusik — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 20:00:01 +0000

Electronic Musik has released an album from Cumbria based artist Shaun Blezard under his ‘Clutter‘ guise.

download the album FREE here

Clutter releases a special give away through his favourite net label Electronic Musik to celebrate the coming of 2012 – The year when linear time stops, when The End Times begin etc, etc…. Not sure if I believe in any of it but it does make you think about time and what it all means, or not, but I thought it might be fun to do some music that is about time (Shaun Blezard - Jan 2012)

Double release on EM for Free Jazz Electronica sextet ‘Kipple’

electronicmusik — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 17:12:30 +0000

Electronic Musik has released the first two albums by UK Free Jazz Electronica Sextet ‘Kipple’

Em165: Kipple 1.1 – Kipple
Em166: Kipple 1.2 – Kipple

Kipple combines the momentum of ESP era free jazz with a 2 man low fi electronics section in place of the piano. The rhythm section is that used by Sonny Simmons on his UK gigs. The free blowing trumpet/soprano sax front line manages to be intense and relaxed at the same time (Phil Morton, Frakture, 2011)

Personnel:
Derek Saw – trumpet,flugelhorn

Manchester Artists Bonfire 26th January 2012 Islington Mill

electronicmusik — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 17:13:22 +0000

Great event coming up on the 26th of January is the annual Manchester Artists Bonfire.

I’ll be playing as Noise Research with Clutter at the after party.

Also playing are Womb, Hop Man Jnr, Debbie Sharp, My Disabled Daughter and No Womb

Bonfire is 6 – 9 pm, after party 9 – 1am.

It takes place at Islington Mill, James Street, Salford, M3 5HW.

The Manchester Artists’ Bonfire 2012 is the second annual bonfire. The bonfire is delivered this year by RS a new visual and live arts events company.

This is an event for artists by artists, however you identify with the word, and all are welcome to attend. In the absence of our art we will rethink our relationships to it and to each other at a time when the country is re evaluating art in economic terms. Each artist has equal stake in the collective outcome and the discussion that is generated by each burning. Artists take to the centre to burn their art and have the opportunity to say something important to them, their practice, their art world or community.

Artists are asked to pledge their art to the fire with an companying piece of writing (or any other output ie sound) related to why they are burning it or to the act of burning art and what it can mean.

We join in a festival of flux and celebrate it on our own terms.

In 2011 the fire acted as a symbol for solidarity and provided a voice for dissatisfaction. In 2012 a new context will be built based on a cross section of personal and political pledges.

The Bonfire event is a free event for all. The after party entry cost is tbc (reduced entry for artists).
