featuring

LUCAS 'GRANPA' ABELA
"Lucas is just captivating. It's incredible how they can flip the feeling of a room upside down and sonically there’s just no other sound like theirs" - Zach Hill - Death Grips.
"One moment you hear John Coltrane playing a volcano, the next you hear a string section being squeezed through a toothpaste tube" - David Rees - The New York Times.
Maverick improviser; Lucas ’Granpa’ Abela’s (formerly Justice Yeldham) singular journey performing on shards of broken glass is the stuff of legend. For over twenty years now they have relentlessly toured the globe, the glass evolving over that time from a means to create free-noise cacophonies into an incredibly versatile instrument producing organic outsider electronica. Played somewhat like a reed instrument, Abela vibrates the shards edge with their lips, producing both audio signal and control voltages. These feed a complex modular patch of parallel chains where the performance modulates itself to give the instrument the illusion of a ghostly accompaniment that together forms dense layers of anomalous music.

Copies of their limited-edition collaborative 7” with Zach Hill (Death Grips) will be available at shows for US$10. The single fuses Zach’s frenetic drumming dynamics onto Abela’s textural glass noise by converting Zach’s drumming into rhythmical control voltages to tear Abela’s sustained textural glass signal rhythmically apart. The single was recorded using stems provided by Hill so Abela could develop techniques to interpolate their signals before recording together in Los Angeles late last year for a forthcoming album currently being mixed down by Hill.

and

GORGINA
Magandjin (Brisbane) based dancoise duo Gorgina boil down their shared interest in internet-born music, female rap, harsh noise & experimental media in a cacophonous soup that leaves the listener with an aftertaste of sexual hysteria, trans-life, Infidelity and a lingering hint of love.
