Improvised Sound | UForce

UForce and Exhibit X present an evening of improvised experimental sound work from Norway and the Netherlands. Tapes, strings, contact mics and found objects coalesce into hypnotic drones and free-form instant compositions. This date is part of Bjerga, Rostad and de Turck's UK tour.Pebbledash Gallery  2 Leswin Place, Stoke Newington, London N16 7NJ5 Oct 2009 8pm - 11.30pmhttps://vimeo.com/7249905Sindre BjergaSindre Bjerga has been wiretapping the secret frequencies of ghostly drones for years now. Though a steady flow of releases on numerous labels around the world he has been channelling the spectral transmissions from the grey void...Expect psychedelic drones that sometimes collide with snippets of found sounds from half-demagnetized tapes and concrete sounds from wrecked kitchen utensils...Recent releases: "Crystal cranium, diamond head" (Blackest Rainbow) and "Black Cobweb mind" (Klang und Krach)Bjerga also runs the Gold Soundz label, which has released music by Thurston Moore, Lasse Mauhag, My Cat is an Alien and many more.http://www.myspace.com/bjergaiversenStaplerfahrerStaplerfahrer is the artistic moniker for Steffan de Turck (Goirle, 1974), a Dutch sound artist who plays around with crunched and broken sounds, circuit bended gadgetry and electro-magnetic waves… and this already for about 15 years.“In the beginning of the nineties, while studying electronics and building my own oscillators and tone generators, I became more and more interested in sound as a pure physical event. Before I was already tearing up my own electronic toys (or those of my sister), in order to find out what it actually was, what made that noise…Later on, this also evolved in circuitbending my own audio equipment; I transformed the internal amplifier of my first recordplayer into a noise theremin… All the surprises I discovered along the way were my introduction into the world of bleep, click and crackle. From then on, my fascination for sounds grew stronger and stronger, as did the need to process these sounds and apply them into an artistic/musical format… both live as actual audio releases.”http://www.myspace.com/thestaplerfahrerNils RostadNils Rostad has been playing improvised guitar for years (in addition to being a painter). His style is self-taught and can be very intense and private, owing more to american primitives like Dredd Foole, Loren Connors or Christina Carter, than to the european avant-garde and the free jazz. Using both timbre, attack and volume as effects (in additon to effect pedals) his sound comes across as highly personal and sparse. He has also been playing as a duo w/ Sindre Bjerga under the name Magnetic North Duo.http://www.myspace.com/474285693Gish / PerryGish and Andrew Perry have been playing together in various bands for together for longer than they care to remember. Improvised no-input mixing board feedback, mouth slop, guitar feedback and harmonics argue in this democracy of the loudest. Last UK date before European tour in February.http://www.myspace.com/onlygishhttp://www.myspace.com/andrewperrysolo
