Pretty Gritty
A little bit sweet and a little bit noisy.
Overview
Beats allowed but not compulsory? What are they gonna use then? Well Michaela Davies uses electric muscle stimulation to control the limbs of her Involuntary Quartet, and Christian Moraga makes 'noise washes' created by fiddling around on a guitar synthesizer. FBi Utility Fog presenter Petter Hollo loops and layers cello as his alter ego Raven, and you’d better believe Julian Knowles has something other than softsynths up his sleeve after 20 years in the field.
These are the four artists heading up the inaugural Pretty Gritty, a bimonthly experimental electronica night at Redfern's 107 Projects. It's a place where music shoved under the 'ambient electronica' umbrella can let loose and spit uneven shards of broken melody all around the room, or strip back the layers and bare its quietly reverberating soul. Because electronica can be pretty too.
