RTS / Skymning / Reliquary

RTS is the analogue soundscape project of Harry Lilley and Fraser Williams, otherwise known for playing in Te Papaioea-based noise rock band First Move. De-quantizing the minimal angularism of their other project, RTS sees the duo orient themselves within opaque sonic spaces that exist near the intersection of acoustic resonance, electromagnetism and amplification.

Pillar of the Aotearoa experimental electronic music community and one of the masterminds behind the DIY establishment that is Bankrupt Records, skymning has been making sounds up and down the country for 15 years. A rare sight on the live circuit these days, he comes out of retirement to join his mates on some ambient adventures.

emerging from the fog of a crisp Waikato morning, reliquary is a nascent instrumental duo blending the traditions of emo, post-rock and jazz, pulling diasporic sensibilities together like the eddies of the river current that captures the detritus of life along its course.
