DEATH BY CONES @ MIUC - 26/06/2012

Next up at MIUC we focus on sonic abstraction utilising density-variation from analogue sources. The 13th annual Liquid Architecture festival of sound arts is upon us again, and thanks to LA, we have one of their featured artists, visionary Berlin-based improviser and sound sculptor Werner Dafeldecker, performing in collaboration with Melbourne’s Sean BaxterDeath By Cones, a monstrous quartet exploring the physical limits of the speaker cone, featuring four experts in the field of brutal noise. And, a duo of sublime, psychoacoustic energy featuring Rodney J Cooper and Leith Thomas, employing 2 of Cooper’s hand-made creations.
• Werner Dafeldecker (Berlin) (live samper and tape delay) and Sean Baxter (percussive junk)
• Death By Cones, featuring: Mark Groves (brutal junk metal and electronic noise/Hartke amp), Nik Kennedy (brutal oral noise/Warwick amp), Tom Miller (brutal motor noise/Toilet amp) and Mark Skelton (brutal slut noise/Peavey amp)
• Rod Cooper (the lowrider and motorised strings) and Leith Thomas (leverage)

+ DEER HEAD APPARITION
"No core members" improvisation collective, featuring: anyone.
http://wagonbroadcastservice.org/deerhead/


+ STEVE LAW
A highlight performer at Discobeans last year. Avant-garde analogue electronics from one of Australia's most meticulous sound crafters, via a modular synth about the size of a bar fridge... and other mysterious devices...
http://www.solitary-sound.com/


+ DARK PASSENGER
Active since 2009, with appearances on releases for local labels Vacant Valley and Iceage Productions. His sound is in a constant flux, yet a sole aim is in creating a stream of sound with a degraded metallic tinge. Sometimes cacophonous, often desolate though always foreboding; inspired by the many lost souls walking the forgotten back roads of the world.


+ HEILSGESCHICHTE
The duo of Kevin CK Lo and Trent Brown, mashing together and mashing out all manner of fucked sounds using instruments you thought you once knew.


238 High St. Northcote
Doors 7:00pm
$5 entry

I'm gonna be making some noises with Deer Head Apparition... have no idea what to expect but looking forward to bringin a few choice noisemaking goodies along for some vibrationing.
Here's a recording of the first time I played with them. Probably the quietest gig I've ever played: http://soundcloud.com/deerheadapparition/deer-head-apparition-live-at
