Sonic Lens 3
Event description
Aotearoa born, UK residing sonic and video artist Ethersonic plays 107 Redfern as part of an Antipodean tour with collaborators _chuckr and Josh Shipton. With a background in site specific expanded cinema and industrial-ambient sound, Ethersonic will screen artist video from the UK and Norway and perform a set of live ambient-drone-industrial sounds. As part of the event, local artists _chuckr and Josh Shipton will add their own interventions and a collaborative piece to the event under the name Limbic.
Ethersonic UK based Ben Hayman draws on source recordings gathered over decades of live work in abandoned spaces and his post-punk beginnings. As Ethersonic he mines loops and layers of occasional instrumentation to create an industrial-ambient state. Video loops and light projection contraptions feature in most events.
_chuckr Duo collaboration between Dahyo Lloyd (gas mask and electronics) and Maddy Briggs (stringed instruments) causes sonic interference and hope in the future generators. Both visually and audibly intense.
Josh Shipton With a 5 octave vocal range, more delays than you should allow on a pedal chain, a surprisingly well-trained musical background, and a mind that has misplaced the box outside of which he thinks, Josh brings whimsy and horror to solo vocalising.
