S*Glass, Ian Francis Keye, Marc Matter - the Shakespere, Sheffield
S*Glass creates live mixes of pre-processed noises, appropriated and found sound, disembodied voices, loops, fragments, and location recordings. Amplified objects and silent backing video add texture to the layers of disorientation. Take your meds before arriving at the venue. For years he attempted to tell people what’s what in the pages of Bananafish (more like “wait, what?” amirite har har). He’s one half of Glands of External Secretion and 1/20th of Bren’t Lewiis Ensemble, purveyors both of music that is largely unmusical. A new track for Radiophrenia Scotland is airing at 10pm on 12 September, and he’ll be tending fires that must be tended in Dublin at The Reception Weekend Festival on 15 October.

Ian Francis Keye (Murphy) plays the MPC2000 sampler/sequencer.
With the Hobo Sonn moniker now composting gently in the deep green mystery above Bostanj, Murphy has worked with Nimmo on a short trio of Xmas titles for Chocolate Monk (2015-2017), an under-the-counter disc 'Text-Sound Snowflakes' (2019), and the collaborative LP 'Slow Lightning' on Sham Repro (2020) with Duncan Harrison. A debut 7679 release 'Marjean Wants To Change The Way You Think About Death' will follow soon via the Krim Kram label.

Marc Matter works between sound and language. His works appear on records (Futura Resistenza, Chocolate Monk, Mount Analogue, Slim Volume, Spoken Matter); as commissioned works for radio; and as live performances. These performances are mainly based on samples; fragments collected from radio, TV, and the internet. They can therefore be considered ’sample poetry’ – a kind of sonic poetry based on found sound material. These fragments are recombined as clusters or loops, resulting in a quasi-musical formal approach and triggering collisions of sound and meaning. He is part of Institut für Feinmotorik, co-runs the Spoken Matter label, and helps curate Salon des Amateurs (Düsseldorf) and the series Acephalic Headspace (Berlin).
