The Programme
In this edition we feature sets from
Distant Animals
Distant Animals is a composer and performance artist from Lewes. His work explores communal notions of sense and non-sense, often by means of auto-biographical conceptual sound works built around specific themes. Recent works have explored custom tuning systems derived from the frequency of the human heart during periods of prolonged sleeplessness, visceral genre-hopping responses to the evils of the Tory party, and numerological explorations of the unloved corners of You Tube video algorithms. Under more normative circumstances he runs the micro-label Difficult Art and Music, and sometimes dresses as a rabbit.

Bell Lungs with Projections by Morphogen
Bell Lungs is a conduit of the emotions, dragging open the lid of her sonic tool box to create loop-based, evolving music which carries the listener from one state to another. Live sets often involve layers of lush vocal harmonies and faux lost ethnographic field recordings created before your very ears, pulled from strings, keys, woodwinds, analogue electronics and tuned percussion. Her music often soundtracks dance, spoken word, theatre and silent film, and recurrent projects with those involved in the natural sciences.
Morphogen is the experimental video project of Waad AlBawardi, a molecular biologist and artist who draws inspiration from natural processes and the patterns which emerge in generative systems. By manipulating models such as reaction-diffusion, Waad creates abstract yet tangible scenes reminiscent of natural flows, organic forms, and microscopic worlds; exploring the generative potential of nature as seen through the lens of digital media.
Malvern Brume & Russell Walker
Malvern Brume is Rory Salter, a musician and sound artist living in London. He has released albums with Alter, TakuRoku, Infant Tree, TEETH, Chocolate Monk, MAL and Kashual Plastik. The music is formed through experimentations with electronic instruments, field recordings, amplified objects and voice; motivated by a relationship to changing and chaotic environments, objects and scores made from walking.
Russell Walker was born in 1980 and lived in Ruislip, Middlesex. He has been writing and performing since 2004. The novella, When New Towns Act Tough, appeared in 2016. Picture The Scene (Very Bon Books, 2022) features several more texts from this series, as well as other fiction, prose, and song lyrics from Pheromoans, Charcoal Owls, Lloyd Pack and Bomber Jackets releases.
Ben Barrett
Ben Barrett is a London-based guitarist who builds ambient drones from improvised and processed loops. His music aims to transform the sound of guitar and immerse the listener in the melodic possibilities of layered sound combinations and phantom harmonies.
He has self-released the albums Electric Guitar Orchestra and A Onda as well as a compilation of tracks released by Take Records, Absence of Wax, Twin Freaxx, In Response to…,Futuresequence and others.
