S@M: A Wake a Week, Seasons (Pre-din), Mystery Lights

Event information

A WAKE A WEEK
...do we never tire of these endless reruns of our grief? With the debut release from his new project, Dave Dando-Moore (Detritus) offers us an intensely composed symphony of unending sorrow. If Detritus is the debris of emotion, A Wake A Week is the tar-black residue still clinging like a parasite, clawing away at old wounds. Like ashes on celluloid, 'Little Black Cloud' opens up a widescreen vista of sound, albeit sullied and decaying. Eschewing the polish and sterility that digital production can entail, the album embodies the crackle and spark of embers of a once-consuming fire, giving us a drone album that feels organic and alive.

MYSTERY LIGHTS (Clive Bell & David Ross)
Shakuhachi & electronics woven together - Zen meets the Moog.
Clive Bell is Britain's leading player of the Japanese shakuhachi flute, and a founder member of Jah Wobble's Deep Space project.
David Ross: electronic improviser/composer and percussionist (Grutronic, Kenny Process Team, Twinkle3), now perfoming with his ever-evolving Drosscillator.
Their recordings together include Mystery Lights (on the Metier label), and Let's Make A Solar System (on ini.itu, with Richard Scott).

SEASONS (PRE-DIN)
You might not be familiar with the work of Seasons (pre-din), but the shadowy northerner has been honing his craft for some time now, covertly issuing a slew of stunning albums while the world ticked on. He cut his teeth performing and collaborating with Richard Skelton and Xela, but over the last couple of years has busied himself prepping a range of hand-made releases on his own label. Often gone in a matter of hours, these lovingly crafted curios caught the attention of astute listeners worldwide.
