AS YET UNNAMED GALAXY @ Longplay - 20/07/2013

AYUG = Trio with Tina Douglas and Phillip Holquinn. First gig under our new name. Thanks to Scott/Abre Ojos for organising!
----
A night of welcome returns - a welcome to Steve Law being back behind the banks of analogue modular equipment and a welcome return to Longplay on St Georges Road - refurbished, refined, rewired.

De-Light brings together the cream of resident Melbournian ambient experimentalists for a night of audio-visual experiences. 

Steve Law - Steve Law has been producing electronic music in Australia since the early 1980's. During that time he has gained a reputation as one of Australia's foremost electronic artists, creating and performing music in almost every sub-genre that has been spawned over the past couple of decades.
After exploring many areas of electronic experimentation with the groups Guild of Fire, Foil and various solo projects, Steve formed the techno project Zen Paradox in 1992. The debut album "Eternal Brainwave" was immediately signed to Ollie Olsen's new Psy-Harmonics label, and licensed to KK/Nova Zembla in Europe and Restless in the U.S. to critical acclaim, and was a huge success. Steve went on to release further material under the Zen Paradox banner during the nineties, backed up with extensive and successful overseas tours. He was named best live electronic act at the 2000 Australian Live Music Awards.
In the meantime, Steve Law continued to explore other areas of cutting edge music, and was awarded the inaugral ABC classic FM computer music award in 1996 for his electro-acoustic composition "Urbania". He has composed music for film, dance and various multi-media works, and has contributed to the Fringe, Next Wave, Experimenta, Electrofringe, Liquid Architecture, Articulating Space, Make it Up Club and Melbourne International Animation festivals.
Steve has collaborated with many other local and international artists, both live and in the studio, and has continued to release music on various labels around the world. He is an inspired live performer, regularly doing impromptu live improvisations with many of Melbourne's underground musicians. He is also a member of the Melbourne band Black Cab.

DISCOBEANS MONDAY - 02/07/2012

+ 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
