VENUE: 107 Redfern

UK’s Ethersonic plays 107 Redfern as part of an Antipodean tour with collaborators _chuckr and Josh Shipton. Ambient-drone-industrial sounds and a collaboration to film from all artists on the night will make this a one off not to be missed.

Aotearoa born, UK residing sonic and video artist Ethersonic plays 107 Redfern as part of an Antipodean tour with collaborators _chuckr and Josh Shipton. With a background in site specific expanded cinema and industrial-ambient sound, Ethersonic will screen artist video from the UK and Norway and perform a set of live ambient-drone-industrial sounds. As part of the event, local artists _chuckr and Josh Shipton will add their own interventions and join forces for a collaborative piece under the name Limbic in response to a film from Ethersonic.

Ethersonic - UK based Ben Hayman draws on source recordings gathered over decades of live work in abandoned spaces and his post-punk beginnings. As Ethersonic he mines loops and layers of occasional instrumentation to create an industrial-ambient state. Video loops and light projection contraptions feature in most events.

_chuckr - Duo collaboration between Dahyo Lloyd (gas mask and electronics) and Maddy Briggs (stringed instruments) causes sonic interference and hope in the future generators. Both visually and audibly intense.

Josh Shipton - With a 5 octave vocal range, more delays than you should allow on a pedal chain, a surprisingly well-trained musical background, and a mind that has misplaced the box outside of which he thinks, Josh brings whimsy and horror to solo vocalising.
