DRONESTOCK!
The 2012 incarnation will match its predecessor on all fronts. This time
around taking place within the acoustically savvy Northcote Uniting
Church.
Featuring:
Grey Skies Blue / is an experimental documentary about protest, power
and the possibility of change. Utilising interviews and imagery from the
S11/Melbourne World Economic Forum demonstrations of 2000, Grey Skies
Blue documents the experiences of a community gathered at a political
demonstration. Featuring an original soundtrack performed live by Seth
Rees (Amplifier Machine, The Spheres) and Guy Harris (The Spheres,
Winternationale) the three screen documentary is an evocative
encapsulation of a shared emotional experience - the crystallisation of a
time, place and community of people who believed if but for a fleeting
moment that “another world is possible”.
Em Vécue Aquieu / is the solo project from guitarist Sam Filmer.
Creating ambient, spiritual sound, Sam builds an articulate spacial
environment.
Experiencing his rare live shows, his sounds rise up
with texture to gently fill the negative space between a nearby coffee
grinder and a murmur from the back row. Chordal sound design together
with heavily effected guitar, Em Vécue Aquieu explores experimentalism
in classical structures without lending too often to silence. A
persistent, lulling effect is translated, completely submersing
everything in close proximity. This show also marks the official launch
for his debut release "Lightlike".
Ollie Olsen / has amassed an incredible body of work in a variety of
forms and projects: a chameleon-like artist delving into early
punk/post-punk, industrial, with The Young Charlatans, Whirlywirld and
NO, through to his electronic music, sound design, compositions for film
and television and too many others to name.
Seaworthy / are a three piece collective that revolves around core
member Cameron Webb as well as Sam Shinazzi and Greg Bird, exploring
melodic and experimental approaches to the construction (and
unravelling) of minimalist sound scapes from looped guitar, warm drones,
piano, electronics and field recordings. The compositions often blur
the lines of conventional categorisation with elements traditionally
considered part of “indie” or “post” rock blended with processed musical
and field recordings. Instruments and samples are looped through amps
and effects pedals, giving the sound an organic feel concentrating on
subtle shifts in melody, tone and texture to convey a sense of time and
place.
Zac Keiller / seeks to discover new and unique sonic textures from one
of the most overused and unimaginatively approached instruments in
Western music: The guitar. The majority of his previous releases saw him
working with ambient textures or electroacoustic improvisation. Whilst
more recent efforts have seen him limiting the use of pedals, attempting
to find a kind of transcendence through stark purity of tone, using the
entire guitar, attempting to make it breathe with no smoothing out of
the rough edges or slick over processing. The compositions vary and grow
to tell stories and create mood, with an atmosphere in parts epic wall
of sound, while at others minimal and sublime.
Monolith kick off the evening with their own brand of industrial space
drone. Monolith conjur a unique atmosphere that is at both times,
expansive yet contained. Taking inspiration from John Carpenter, Minit,
Grey Wolves, Tangerine Dream, and Eliane Radigue to name a few, yet
still managing to exist in a terrain of their own.
Saturday June 2nd.

$10.00. Northcote Uniting Church. 251 High St. Northcote.
