Tin Shed Spots
Works of experimental music and abstract performance that address technology, process and its abuse, liminal experience, algorithmic creation, spatial audio and noise. If it's in the spirt of experimentation then it's in the spirit.

Mannheim Rocket
Alexander Whillas & Steffan Ianigro

Pretty Gritty #8 - pop implosion
Pretty Gritty #8 presents slippery songs from digital divas and divos (yes that is a term). Scissor Lock channels pop ecstasy delivering a micro-stadium experience; GoldModeL mashes noise into song structures for a grinding romp; hz give us four on the floor in a clash of dance beats and misty vocals; and Jacqui O’Reilly cannibalises her early folk output to create dreamy ambientronica.
