Tomas Hiltz

Corrupted electric stringed instruments. Tools, fingers, electronics, effects, loops and anything else to hand are used. Nothing in the room is safe. Richard Miles and Dave Tribe have worked together since 1985 and have pursued pretty much the same creative path ever since. Age, guile and improving technology has led to the stuff you can hear here (in an edited form).

Both work primarily with electric stringed instruments and then explore and corrupt the sounds at their disposal. The aim is for gigantic washes, trickles, sparks. Seeking utopia in sound. Tools, fingers, electronic devices, effects, loops and anything else to hand are used. Nothing in the room is safe.

In addition to working together as Tomas Hiltz both have had many varied adventures in the worlds of music over the years and continue to play with astonishing people whenever the chance arises. Currently Richard plays stick and other instruments with Under Mother Bungalow which can be found at www.armchair-astronaut.com. He also produces site specific sound art pieces, and paints. Dave is central to the No No Nos, to be found at www.myspace.com/nononostheband, Carnival Collective www.myspace.com/carnivalcollective and writes and produces his own material www.myspace.com/davetribe.

Tomas Hiltz is from Hamburg in Germany and records eclectic electronica. Rumours that he is in fact Richard's invisible friend have so far proved to be entirely unfounded.

The capSlock 20's

More ill informed art noise from the SOG Situationists.

The Spirit of Gravity's resident Situationist pranksters take you on a a trip to the deepest dark of the soul and back. More ill informed art noise with extreme lighting effects.

Birds of Disco Valley

LaMonte young meets Sylvester at the bird bath of disco dub.

Feathers fly as the Birds of Death Valley fight it out with the Disco Tears - expect squawking, drones, dub chirps and cheeps. The Birds of Death Valley combine forces with The Disco Tears for an extravaganza of sight and sound and cornets

Hosted by our very own electro-comedian Lee Laptop Hume
