Gig Information

Pyramid Club and Audio Foundation are very happy to present visionary ‘avant-industrial’ composer, producer and performer JG Thirlwell live in NZ.

From his art-damaged post-punk beginnings in Melbourne and London in the late 1970s, Thirlwell has performed under a gamut of aliases inlcuding FOETUS, STERIOD MAXIMUS, BABY ZIZANIE, WISEBLOOD, DJ OETFSU, GARAGE MONSTERS, FLESH VOLCANO, IMMACULATE CONSUMPTIVE and CLINT RUIN.

Since his early years he’s been a key collaborator with seminal artists such as NICE CAVE, MARC ALMOND, COIL, NURSE WITH WOUND, THE THE, LYDIA LUNCH and SWANS, PANTERA, NINE INCH NAILS, WHITE ZOMBIE, JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, ARTO LYNDSAY, MELVINS and countless others.

Based in Brooklyn NYC since 1983, his music over the past four decades has retained a dramatic intensity and evocative, cinematic quality. His 30+ albums display a diverse sound palette including elements of 20th-century classical music, noise, jazz, punk, African percussion and industrial performance art. More recently JG has completed composition commissions for avant classical groups including Kronos Quartet, Bang On A Can and the String Orchestra of Brooklyn.

JG Thirlwell will perform his audio/visual surround sound project Silver Mantis. The 50 minute electro-acoustic piece, performed with prepared piano, software, sampling and theremin, is an immersive multi channel composition. Incorporating musique concrète and electronic sound along with live instrumentation, the composition is dynamic, cinematic and diverse with stylistic left-turns, creating a tension between time and anxiety. Acclaimed Swedish artist, Sten Backman, has created a moving image work exclusively for Silver Mantis which will be projected alongside the music at the performance.
