Helm (UK) – Live

Helm is Luke Younger, a London-based sound artist and experimental musician who works with a wide range of rotating instruments and abstract sound sources. Younger’s compositions construct dense soundscapes that incorporate elements of musique concrète and industrial music, as well as hallucinatory drones and various acousmatic phenomena. Instruments transform into spectral rust, a shimmering klang swims alongside passive noise, and the relationship between acoustic and electronic sounds forms a solid foundation. To date, he has produced three full-length albums; the self-released debut To An End in 2010, Cryptography on Graham Lambkin’s KYE label (The Shadow Ring) in 2011 and 2012′s Impossible Symmetry, which marks the start of an ongoing collaboration with Bill Kouligas’s PAN label. 2013 and 2014 saw the release of two new EPs, Silencer and The Hollow Organ, both of which were well received by press and fans alike. Helm has also developed an increasingly busy world touring schedule, sharing the stage with artists as diverse and disparate as William Basinski, Destruction Unit, Cut Hands, Joe Colley, Amen Dunes, The Haters, Wild Classical Music Ensemble, Oneohtrix Point Never, Iceage, Tony Conrad, Terror Danjah, HTRK, Lee Gamble, Kevin Drumm and many more.

Poborsk (FR) – Bestiaire – Live Audiovisuel

Bestiaire produces Science Fiction atmospheres with very little means, creating machines and creatures from everyday objects. These objects are brought together, arranged and self-organized to create machines and creatures that function and come to life with no other purpose than to exist. These machines have no particular function, produce nothing, and the creatures have limited behavior and movement, resulting in a hypnotic dance, rhythmically guided by the accompanying music. Bestiaire is a live audiovisual proposition in which music & video evoke an imaginary biotope populated by objects from our everyday lives. The melodies and rhythms express a particular vitality in which sound patterns come together, giving rise to all manner of improbable and surprising forms.

Sculpture (UK) – Live

Dan Hayhurst (music) and Reuben Sutherland (animation) create Sculpture, an optomusical agglomerate. At the heart of their process, multisensory performance translates into audible and visible musical by-products. Combining tactile physical media and software-based practices, Sculpture amalgamates electronic music, abstract animation, found sounds and images, tape manipulation and improvisation. Dan plays with multimedia devices and electronic instruments. Reuben plays the zoetrope video turntable. In May 2014, Sculpture’s LP Membrane Pop was released by Software, a curatorial label of Daniel Lopatin, AKA Oneohtrix Point Never. A live/digital/video AV cassette, Video Plot, followed in October. In January 2014, the duo’s animated 7″ single, Plastic Infinite, became an instant cult artifact. Sculpture previously produced two zoetrope-animated LPs for German label Dekorder records – Rotary Signal Emitter (2010) and Toad Blinker (2011). Their third LP, Slime Code, was released in 2012 on 7 single cassettes and a digital edition on Patten’s Kaleidoscope label, then reissued on vinyl by Digitalis.
