A gig held at Strange Brew on Friday 13th September. The event starts at 19:00.
Bethany Ley (formerly known as STANLÆY) is an artist based in Bristol.
Known for their versatility as a producer, composer and vocalist. Their sonic world circulates intricate arrangements informed by Bethany’s eclectic musical background as both a classical instrumentalist, and an avid producer, creating “sublime twilight electronica” (Music is My Sanctuary).
Their long awaited Debut EP ‘Sundial’ was released on 24th May and has received support from BBC Bristol and BBC Radio 6.
Bethany Ley and visual artist Alfie Dwyer will be performing Sundial as a unique Audio-Visual live show for this tour. Alfie Dwyer is an artist and filmmaker that makes short & surreal animations influenced by lucid dreaming and explorations of space & time inside these worlds, with past collaborations with Aphex Twin, Eric Andre, Adult Swim & more. He recently worked with Bethany Ley to create artwork for the ‘Sundial’ EP, and the animation for their single ‘Back to Body’. This animation was inspired by ideas surrounding reincarnation, and inter-dimensional perspectives that see humans across multiple interlinking life-lines.
