Surface Of The Earth, Rachel Shearer, Rosy Parlane

AF is pleased to present…

Surface of the Earth
A rare appearance from Aotearoa free noise trio, Surface of the Earth.
Combining guitar/amplifier hum, drone, crackle and feedback, they create vast blocks of sound where subtle, fragile textures occasionally flicker.
“Like a field recording from another world” (Black Editions)
“A new monumental kind of music — both haunting and embracing, dark and transcendent” (Forced Exposure)

Rachel Shearer – highly detailed deep listening music.
Rachel’s practise explores the materiality of sound through Māori and Western ontologies, epistemologies, and technologies. These are considered through various creative sonic practices: installations, composing, recording, writing, and collaborating as a sound designer and/or composer for moving images and live performance events

Rosy Parlane
Rosy Parlane is a musician from Auckland who began playing music with the avant-garde rock trio Thela. He subsequently began working with abstract electronic based music, both as a solo artist and as Parmentier alongside fellow Thela collaborator, Dion Workman. Rosy’s soundscapes are comprised of field recordings, pianos, guitars, household objects and other instruments manipulated via digital means.

Rosy Parlane has released four solo albums, originally on Sigma Editions and Synaesthesia, and more recently on Touch. In addition to his acclaimed solo work, Rosy has also collaborated with artists such as Fennesz, AMM founder Eddie Prevost and avant-garde musician Mattin.
