An evening of the finest Australasian noise in the atmospheric setting of the Crypt of St Mary of the Angels church.
From Perth, Furchick (Claire Pannell) is a prolific DIY noise-art maker, who incorporates science into her creations and takes her sounds from the natural vibrations created from everyday objects. Some of her past projects include playing with the The Armaround with Tom Greenwood's Jackie O Motherfucker and the Crawley Creeps with Josh Diamond of Gang Gang Dance in the USA and was part of the notorious nineties Palmerston North band C.U.N.T. (aka Claire’s UnNatural Twin) and industrial metal act Froithead.
Stanier Black-Five is a Christchurch-based sound artist whose work is largely based on the manipulation of her own environmental recordings and found sounds. She uses these to create dense soundscapes that use sources such as mesmerising aircraft drones to the pounding rhythms of trains and recently the sounds of the earthquakes that have shaken her city.
Antony Milton has been active in the underground/noise community for 20 years, performing and recording under a variety of names as well as running the PseudoArcana label. Recently his music has taken a overtly psychedelic and ecstatic turn....recently as in the last week.
Rob Thorne (Ngati Tumutumu), a Palmerston North musician of 25 years experience, has been researching, playing and performing taonga puoro since 2001. In the last 3 years he has been developing and performing epic-length orchestrated compositions using live loops that allows him to ensemble the instruments in a way that is musically & culturally challenging and beautifully ambient.
We thank Noel Meek and Richard Benjamin Keys for assisting with this event.
