Live acts:

SOFT RIOT

Soft Riot is JJD; a former Vancouverite who has clocked over fifteen years of musical output in various bands and projects. Moving from Vancouver to London UK in the late 2000s, Soft Riot came into full being. Having now released a couple of acclaimed albums and EPs and staging numerous tours around Europe. Soft Riot has set up camp in Sheffield, a city with a strong his...tory of innovative synthesizer music.

Drawing inspiration from synthesizer-based film soundtracks of yesteryear, drones, early EBM, minimal synth, a dose of psychedelic synthpop and a heavy dose of throbbing appregiated rhythms, Soft Riot is a science-fiction heavy soundscape that narrates the listener through today’s fractured, excessive landscape with hints of black humour.

The Digitariat

Post PE solo vocal belligerence before a cascade of noise, digital glitch, analog filth, free electronics around a new structure of rhythm measure.
Job, sex, money (or lack of); misandry/misogyny conflict; the truths behind constructed reality; the tragedy of pornography (for viewer and viewed); how technology is used against the people rather than for the people, pursuit of absolute joy against the negative influences; all these are recurring matters explored by The Digitariat.

_DAVE PHILLIPS
dp re/searches and ponders existences and behaviourisms humanimalistically via audio de/construction, psycho-acoustics, sonic rituals; sound as communication in direct and primal form, a tool of metaphysics, a conscience, an unrestrained language. sound as a means to activate primordial shared emotions otherwise hidden by civilised experience. dp's work engages, invites rumination, endorses sentient and environmental e/quality and encourages intervention and action; therapeutical stimulation is acknowledged. a form of release is evoked, a liberating cleansing, a sound catharsis that opposes the omnipresent reduction of existence, that puts us in touch with our sentient origins as well as with the realities of our times. dp rings in the era of humanimal..
dp has been sonically active for over 25 years, has appeared on more than 150 releases and has played around 400 concerts in 40 countries.

_SILVER WAVES
Drones and noise from 18 year old child prodigy whiz kid Dylan Malett
"Revelatory instrumentals that pull together disparate strands of downtown NY guitar minimalism with something of his hometown's signature ambient dub. Decidedly non-rock guitar grandeur. It goes without saying, he's one to watch." - The Quietus
"Mallett's hypnotic, industrial beats and skip-stop guitar trills on ‘I’ incorporated a quiet-loud dynamic that was infectious yet discerning, all the while emotionally captivating. Completely original and inventive pieces of music." - Wax Music

_EWA JUSTKA
Optoelectronic Power produced by hand-made electronics, hacked cathode ray tube and erratic phosphor.
Ewa Justka is a polish electronic noise artist based in London. She currently studies BA Sound Arts & Design at London College of Communication.
Ewa completed an internship in physical computing at STEIM, Amsteram, where she was working on documentation of Black Box modular system.
Justka’s main field of research is based on exploration of materiality of objects, vibrant, ontological systems (human bodies, plants’ bodies, electronic circuits: varied range of micro and macro environments and relations between them) and an investigation of modes of quasi-direct perception through noise performance actions, interactive installation, DIY electronics, hardware hacking, plant-molesting, breaking, deconstructing and collaborating. In her artistic work Ewa attempts to explore the concept of materiality of objects through creation of prompt interactions between them.
Ewa has performed at Network Music Festival, Birmingham, UK; Supernormal Festival Oxfordshire, UK, Club Transmediale Festival, Berlin; Explodin Cinema, Goldsmiths College, London, UK; STEIM, Amsterdam, NL; Moving Forest, Chelsea College, London, UK; Colour out of Space, Brighton, UK; Beam Festival, Brunel University, London, UK and more.

_DUAL
Dual is a video artist and film-maker who enjoys collaborating with music artists on A/V projects and music promo videos. Her work explores the boundaries between dance, performance and the visual arts. Drawn to a dark and dystopian, yet elegant aesthetic, she often finds inspiration in the granular textures and analogue patterns of low resolution CCTV, VHS and CRT monitors. Her purist approach to her work has led her to experiment with organic glitches and errors found using analogue techniques. In contrast she works with filmed footage captured from a variety of sourced content, processed through low resolution monitors and then reworked into compositions which create a language through symbolic imagery. This passion is also the reason behind the array of CRT monitors and TVs stacked in the corner of her studio.

Review of the March live performance at Standing and Listening, Manchester

http://disconcertmanchester.com/post/80772339539/dancing-and-laughing-presents-another-edition-of-the

The Digitariat live in Manchester. Saturday 15th March 2014. First show in over a year!

Dancing and Laughing presents another edition of the experimental live special, Standing and Listening. Due to the fully booked Saturday night nature of the Castle Hotel, we are this time moving to their sister pub, the Eagle Inn, in Salford. Don't let that location bother you, it's fifteen minutes' walk from Northern Quarter and you'll get served at the bar more quickly than the Castle.

Entry is only £4!


The Eagle Inn, 18 Collier Street, City of Salford, M3 7DW.

The Digitariat

We know what it is to live in a rich man's house, because we live in it, like a slave lives in a rich man's house.

Post-PE solo vocal belligerence before a cascade of noise, digital glitch, analogue filth and free electronics around a new structure of rhythm measure.

Job, sex, money (or lack of); misandry/misogyny conflict; the truths behind constructed reality; the tragedy of pornography (for viewer and viewed); how technology is used against the people rather than for the people, pursuit of absolute joy against the negative influences; all these are recurring matters explored by The Digitariat.

Rosanne Robertson

"I am obsessed with improvisation and its relationship to deviance. I work with objects, often metal objects, arranged into installed self made instruments­ -I use tools, implements and devices to extract sound from these arrangements in a live situation­­. Arrangements reworked live take the body into it and then remove it leaving something touched. The voice is heavily featured in my current approach­ with my main experiments being producing noises from the throat­ the internal voice before projection. My work often aims to reveal a boundary of what we are all comfortable with in terms of being in the same room together whilst something is created and then decides whether to cross it or not. Live works build from meditative rhythmical patterns into violently disjointed moments and brutal repetitive heavy noise making."
