Warrior Squares The Warrior Squares are a Hastings based trio of seasoned improvisers utilising electronics, instruments and a tree they run a long standing night at The Rooms In St LEonards and have recently performed with Geoff Leigh (Henry Cow etc etc). ViV ViV are not a singer songwriter but a 5 piece featuring guitar, flute, vibes, cornet drums and electronics, ViV (in their previous Vole incarnation) performed an outstanding set at the Spirit of Gravity's last show at The Little Marlborough Theatre. Music rarely gets this gorgeous, even at SoG. Zero Map The Zero Map is Brighton Based duo "If one word can be used regarding Zero Map's music it would be 'de-constructed'. It brings the music more justice than the word 'recycle', as recycle means 'use again' and 'deconstructed' means, to me at least, use old stuff to create something new. This is what we hear on Zero Maps 30 plus minute long album 'Found on The Streets'. Stuff from nowhere and everywhere gathered together and out comes five interesting pieces of collage music. Instruments, sound effects, voices - all from the source of the duo Chloe Wallace and Karl Waugh, the experimental nuclei of Zero Map. The centre piece of the album, the second track 'Bee's Queen' occupies half of the album's length. If the shorter pieces are more strict and concentrated around some sounds or ideas, this one is a complete melting pot showing how insanity and sanity are two sides of the same thing with sounds surrounding every inch of the atmosphere of the room, It's noise and musique concrete, it's a lovely nightmare soundtrack that not even Tim Burton would dare to use. The cover is individually hand painted and numbered copies, with front cover collage artwork by The Zero Map made up of items found in the Streets. Label? www.apollolaan.co.uk of course." - Terrascope "Never less than engaging, and often very lovely" - The Wire |
