REZONE THE TONE! Three distinct live sets from artists that redefine the sound on the variant foundations from which they spring forth a new… REZONE THE TONE! With direct vinyl interjections between sets from DJ Combover and Stanier Black 5, crossing (out) the maps, relocating and dislocating a variety of sonic sources.
EAMON SPROD
Working with sound borrowed from urban spaces australian-based sound artist eamon sprod/TARAB pursues what might be called an anti-naturalist field recording practice. Fragmenting and re-contextualising the audio material he forages and collects to shape oblique narratives, false leads and listening spaces from within the everyday. Purposefully working with the sonic material he finds at hand to hear and see what might happen when things are drawn together and pulled apart. Sound is often introduced to space through the use of simple means. Discarded household items or physical elements of rooms are transformed into unique speakers or percussive sound generators. In turn, speakers are encouraged to move beyond their role as replicators of pre-existing sounds, instead to act as sounding things in themselves.
Working previously as TARAB, Eamon Sprod has presented performances and installations within Australia, Europe, Japan, Korea, North and South America; participating in festivals including Liquid Architecture (AU); Activating The Medium (US); Observatorie (ES); Bogong: Electric (AU); Tsonami Festival de Arte Sonore (CL); Amplify 2020: Quarantine (US/Online); and the Lausanne Underground Film Festival (CH).
Eamon Sprod/TARAB’s compositions have been published by labels including Naturestrip (AU); 23five (US); Kaon (FR ); Semperflorens (RU); Unfathomless (BE); Cronica (PT), solo and with Artificial Memory Trace; Aposiopese (FR/BE); Swarming (FR) with Eric La Casa; Hemisphäreの空虚 (AU); F E R N S recordings (FR); and multiple works on his sonicrubbish micro-imprint formed in 2018. His first solo release under his own name is coming later this year on Aposiopese (FR/BE).

TEEN HATERS
Teen Haters are the collaborative pairing of Helen Greenfield [Mela, Barnard’s Star, The LEDs] & Peter Wright [The Escalation, Death Horse]. Melding electronically disembodied cello and guitar into improvised, elegiac structures that seem to evolve and dissolve in fluid and irreverent symmetry, Teen Haters have been known to bring emotionally susceptible observers to their knees, while simultaneously inducing soporific confusion in others. The less adventurous tend to retreat to the bar for sustenance. With stakes this high, live performances are a rare occurrence at the best of times.

FAN
FAN (Folina Vili and Anne McMahon) perform with voice and miscellany – conjuring reflections on life’s ordinary peculiarities, with bangs, taps, squeeks and wheeze.
“Remember when two Raincoats moved into a new place and The Shadow Ring came over from next door and offer’d them a cup of salt, laughingly stating “that’s not sugar there”. Then they all witnessed John Major on the street struggling with the clutch on a Morris Minor. Remember that?” - No, I couldn’t find that on the tube. I don’t know anything about that.
