LIVE: Half A Map
Half A Map will attempt recreating atmospheres heard on the recent album Thirsty Crops. A guitar will sustain as long as the battery runs on the ebow and / or the strings last. Electronics can make everyday objects sing: a hand saw or a plastic honey bottle may be involved. The sound pursues a state of intense calm.
LIVE: Jolea
Jolea is a producer and artist from Helsinki, whose music combines electronic production and sampled acoustic instruments, which together create dark, melancholic soundscapes. She released her first ep ”Ghostly Figures” on Audiobaum in 2009 and her latest bass heavy and aggressive double single “ Rag Doll / Forever Kept From Me” LP came out this April. Her set will be a turbulent sonic journey through feelings of desperation and hope, memories, reflections and realities.
