Body of Waste - [excerpt]

Ever since washing up on our shores, Neal D. Retke (who performs as {AN} Eel) has been spreading joy and preaching the benefits of D.I.Y. co-operation. A busy member of the international home-taping circuit known for his many collaborative projects, this festival arose from a desire to bring together some of the different musicians he's encountered here so far, mixing together songs and noises over two days in the G.A.S.'s cozy east-end space.

Having seen Adam Hanrahan's noise project a couple weeks before, I knew what I was getting into here. And this did indeed explore similar sonic terrain in the day's first earplugs-required set, bracing feedback, sound-knife and all.

Body of Waste - [excerpt]

When not playing bass in groups like Retired and Deliluh, Adam Hanrahan has also been exploring noise/drone sounds as Body of Waste, creating sonic tension so thick it could literally be cut with a knife.

[Track Could Bend returns to The Steady tonight (August 1st) with Invisible Out's social media complications, Tom Richards' shoreline synth drones and BABEL's last ever (!?) performance.]
