Event information
Bog Bodies is the collaborative project of Robert Stillman (saxophone), Anders Holst (guitar), and Seán Carpio (drums). Formed in 2015, the band’s sound breaks down distinctions between composition and improvisation, electronic and acoustic sound, abstraction and figure. Their first recorded work, Sligo is part of a larger multi-media project created jointly with experimental film artist Benjamin Rowley, whose hand-made 16mm soundfilm loops form an integral electronic element of the music on the album. Shifting freely between textures of drone, noise, and lyrical melody, Sligo reflects the eclecticism of the band members’ individual careers (they have collaborated with artists such as Manuel Göttsching, Kit Downes, and Joachim Badenhorst), and to the broad range of music from which they take inspiration, which includes James Blood Ulmer, Sunn O))), Archie Shepp, and Supersilent.
\"I\'ve already read comparisons to the album that mention Alice Coltrane, Moondog, Ornette Coleman, American minimalism, spiritual jazz, and the \"old, weird America\" of Harry Smith -- and while all those references do seem apropos, there\'s a very, very personal and elegiac sentiment that Stillman\'s expressing that I find to be very original\"- Other Music
“In an evocative universe full of subdued poetry, Anders Holst breaks with the common guitar aesthetic to create his own expression” Geiger

Marcus Hamblett is a musician from Brighton, UK. Working primarily with the electric guitar and electronics, his live show sees him combining free improvisation with collage in a way that hints at Gastr Del Sol, Tortoise and Six Organs of Admittance. The Quietus wrote his music \"could be called post-rock if it didn\'t also sound pre-rock, or maybe as if rock had never happened and folk, modern jazz and the classical avant-garde had merged into a stream of hip, innovative music to soundtrack the changes and discontents of the second half of the twentieth century instead, and Joe Meek had dug John Cage. \" He has toured Europe supporting Timber Timbre and LNZNDRF and collaborated with James Holden, Mark Holub and many more. He also plays in many bands including Sons of Noel and Adrian and Eyes & No Eyes.
\"While clearly chiselled into precise form, Hamblett captures this sensation of thoughts in urgent and seamless flow, casting ribbons of swooping melody and gentle, emotive adjustments in dynamic. In this way, he sometimes dips toward the jazz inflections of TNT-era Tortoise; at other points, I hear a skittish impersonation of the fingerplucked streams of James Blackshaw.” ATTN Magazine
