Humming through Electrofringe

Some updates:

1) Paul Forbes Mitchell & Lloyd Barrett will be demonstrating their Habitat at Electrofringe.
Habitat combines a light sensitive life simulation (designed by Lloyd in Processing) with live audiovisual mashup objects (designed by Paul in PD/Gem) which allow for real-time improvisation/mixing of both audio and visual material.
The demo is on Saturday September 29 between 4pm and 5pm at the Royal Exchange in Newcastle.

2) In addition to this Paul and Lloyd have finished their "Humming Through Schizophonic Air" album which documents the develop of stage one (Sound Creatures/Inhabit) through 2006/07.  It features a mix of composed / edited pieces with live excerpts from various actions within Brisbane.
A small number of copies will be available at the Newcastle demo with copies being available in Rockinghorse and through Halftheory in the next two weeks or so.
We intend to have a local launch party as well and will inform when we know.

3) Long promised and long procrastinated - Secret Killer of Names is about to be unveiled!
Lloyd has spent the last 5 years trying to work out a suitable sound for this project - with the only official release being a "cover" of the Coil track "Spastiche" on the Balance tribute album "the loneliest link in a very strange chain". While retaining the sidereal nature of Coil, SKON has become inextricably linked to guitar worship. Channelling nocturnal emissions from spirit landscapes both internal and extraterrestrial this however is no G3 style of worship. For what it is worth Lloyd's guitar "gods" are Justin Broadrick, Snakefinger, Sunn O))), and James Plotkin.
Secret Killer Of Names will debut live at Electrofringe during the Sunday Evening gig.  Should be hilariously inappropriate music for both time and place.
Sun 30 Sept 2007 17:00 - 20:00 at Civic Park in Newcastle.
The debut Secret Killer of Names album will be net/released by Alias Frequencies as a free download in the not too distant future.  The sophomore release will follow around XMAS with some kind of Saturnalia blood bath!
