Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Hyper-hardware human fusions augmented by visual netherworlds, coded exclusively into the Wetware mainframe for your synaptic consumption. Featuring unhinged modular acid destruction from Ben Pest, ethereal post-human voicescapes from Mary Hurrell + more. This is the kinda night we thought we’d be going to in 2050, pure future shock FFO: Holly Herndon, Voice Actor, AFX, DMX Krew, Lawnmower Man."

A gig held at Strange Brew on Thursday 10th April. The event starts at 19:00.
WetWare's back at Brew for another eve of live audio visual transmissions beamed straight into your eyeballs and eardrums! This’ll be a seated show, with bean bags at the ready, giving everyone a full view of the projections and performers on stage.
For this event Ben Pest’s making a return to WetWare, bringing his hardware live set chops well honed from recent gigs in Berlin and Barcelona. He’ll be teaming up with WetWare regular Myr, improvising with and exploring sounds from the club chopped, stretched and mangled into new forms. Joining them on the visuals is Alfie Dwyer (Ze.Zima). Alfie’s blend of HD modelled 3D figures and real-world scenes, distorted and warped into hallucinatory mind-bending territories, have been seen at shows with Aphex Twin, Flying Lotus and Eric Andre.
Up next on the bill we’re excited to welcome Mary Hurrell to Brew for her first live set in Bristol. As an artist, vocalist and composer working between experimental music and performance. Mary creates physical and emotional soundscapes using her voice as an instrument and material. Layering that with electronic textures, heavy beats and distorted field recordings. Joining her on the visuals is Bristol based visual artist Aevi. A regular fixture at WetWare Aevi brings his blend of hyper-detailed fluid textures, clouds of colour and generated pseudo-ancient symbols. Fed through a blend of analog video processing units to grit, meld and mesh them together.
Also at this event Balouu’s making his WetWare and Brew live set debut. A resident on Noods Radio, with tracks released on local label of legend Pressure Dome and Vancouver’s Weirdos Inc. Records, we’re excited to see what patterns he’s got loaded up on the machines. PuttyRubber returns to join him on visual duties. Summoning her kaleidoscopic swirling patterns of intense colour through a hybrid blend of feedback loops created with cameras and old CRT monitors effected and tamed with digital visual tech.
Line-up:
-> Ben Pest & Myr + Alfie Dwyer
-> Mary Hurrell + Aevi
-> Balouu + PuttyRubber
