Rosalind Hall and Marco Cher-Gibard, Pig and Machine, Glee Cartel, Either/Or, Solid State, and Sympathia -
A night of diverse and intense audio/visual stimulation, featuring acts from as far afield as Japan, New Zealand and East Brunswick! Noise is a point of departure and a point of return. Solid State and Sympathia are spatial and dissonant, an interrogation of resonance in its many permutations. It is a dialogue between digital and analogue, involving ferrous metals and field ecordings, among other things. Either/Or is a keen eyed and eared scavenger in a world of discardation. This performance will include mutated magnetics, found and recorded loops, and dumpstered mp3 players, deftly DIY’ed together. Glee Cartel is half human, half insect king of the earth, weaving dense textiles of sound from disarming, disparate threads. Looping, ebbing flowing, frothing, carpet to line your inner ear. Rosalind Hall and Marco Cher-Gibard furnish the listener and viewer with an engaging, articulate, and technically impressive audio/visual experience. Live-fed cross examinations of the saxophone are cut up, processed, manipulated and re-projected in real time. This is a communication through air, tone, wire, lenses and light, and establishes a compelling dynamic between the real, the captured, the hyper-real. Simply must be seen! Pig and Machine have freshly relocated to Melbourne from a vivid Osaka noise scene, and their performances are searing hot costumed energetic. Hovering between noise punkk, breakcore and day glo gospel, they are very, very difficult to stand still to!!!! There will also be vegan treats! Come along and be merry!(or spack out on no doze & cheap wodka as suggested by anji & wholeheartedly seconded in a lemming type manner by philth)
Brung to youz by forepaw: splendid low key excellent people who aren’t apathetic like some of us.

Ai Yamamoto – “Ai Yamamoto has been working on Electronica / abstract sound escapes last several years in Melbourne.

philthy gives this blog a resounding yes.
I want killer-vision. Some people say it was discovered accidently by some scientists conducting a clinical drug trial. Actually, they were giving the patients ecstasy and one of them, known only as “pp”, developed an in incredible insight into how the world should be run. The whole world would be run by a political party called “The Party Party”. Nobody would have to go to work. Their campaign slogan would be “Teach the children to sing!” in reference to their policy of turning all primary schools into karaoke bars. Actually nobody ever bothered to vote for the party party cos everyone was too busy frolicking and making out
The utopian vision goes on and on and on and on like this.
Whenever you have a genius moment like this, drug induced or not, it is called killer-vision. And the finest pracitioner of this art that the world has ever seen, is philthy philhtosa.
Happy birthday Philthy!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE killer
