KINA:SUTTSU ( with E-DA KAZUHISA )
https://kinasuttsu.bandcamp.com/
“I will be bringing you trance and ambient
music born from my punk spirit”
“ Enchanted by Jomon culture; ancient pre-historical period
of Japan, they define their music as titilative sound in the first
impulse, based on neo-Jomon thought “just going by one’s
feeling” since Kina doesn’t know any codes or tuning of her
guitar but produces sound as she feels “
In 2005, she released her first album, Warriors of the
Rainbow, produced by AOA u.l.u Tateyama under the name
Boboboboboboin!? After that, she gave birth to a horse in
her stables and took a break from live performances. During
her break, she began producing ambient music solo at home.
After 3/11, 2011, she returned to live performances at
anti-nuclear demonstrations and other events. In 2018,
she met E-Da ( ex.Boredoms,Seefeel) and traveled to the
UK as a soprano saxophonist, performing with many legends
such as Damo Suzuki and project with Jah Wobble !
Kina and E-da also formed ∵n∀v∩∴/NAVU with Phil MFU
and Susumu Mukai from Vanishing Twin
THE COWARDS
https://slowdancerecords.bandcamp.com/track/march-of-the-cow
https://www.instagram.com/thecowards22
The Cowards are an enigma that have quietly inserted
themselves into London's alternative circuit ; swinging
between noisey freak and madlib esque beats to nouveau
psychedelica and language audio soundscapes. Their
stage-presence adds further to the intrigue ; seemingly
unaware that the audience is entranced as they plow
through their performance with intense concentration
DEVIN BIRSE + JESSIE BUERS ( spoken word with band tba )
Devin
https://www.instagram.com/themefromfailurept2
Aching between the forests of urban architecture and the
dull ghosts of dead empires Devin Birse’s work dislocates
the present and self from the immediate day to day and
transforms them into surreal apocalypses. Drawing upon
a mixture of confessionalism, surrealism and a taste for
both New York school wit and fin de siecle decadence
Devin aims to defamiliarise and reconfigure the personal
and impersonal through a mixture modernist precision
and absurdist monologue
Jessie
https://www.instagram.com/jessiebuers
Mae Mae scribbles on her wall, are we connecting right now?
In what can only be yelled amidst an all-nighter; whether that
be speed dancing, spamming, hoarding or indulging in the
dank-cosy nest cubbies of the infant internet. She is merely
an apprentice praying (writing, drawing, living) to these
observations; wandering through power lines and reeling
in a cosmic force field. A space-making landscape which is
cracking under cinematic light, wanting herself to talk back
at her, and hopefully she’ll talk to you. It is surely no doubt
that it proves nonsensical to string these materials together;
Jessie Buers (b. Bristol, UK) is not digitally advanced, but
knows which intense corridor to shine the torch through.
She studied her BFA at the Ruskin School of Art,
University of Oxford.
