Missing Music: Suren Seneviratne (b. 1986) is a British Sri Lankan, London based producer, DJ and sound artist who is no stranger to the world of electronic music. For over a decade, he has explored the threshold of experimental media through a DIY lens using an arsenal of software, home-made electronics and modified synthesisers to create work that defies the limits of genre classification. His prolific output across various media can be found in record production, remix work, live performance, radio broadcast, film composition, theatre design, Net Art, interactive VR and exhibition. His newest endeavour Missing Music shines a spotlight on the innovative audio, digital signal processing and music software developed for the Macintosh computer system during the ‘90s to ‘00s.

En Creux is a Taiwanese experimental artist based in London. Performs and releases music under the alias ‘en creux’ where the sound creation springs from their fascinations in noise generated via feedback on digital and analogue equipment, and their role as a ‘mediator-performer’ in the multifaceted relationship between the sonic events incurring within the self-regulated system. ‘Fuzz comes alive, moving at odd angles like the sinuous threads are being chased by a series of subatomic bleeps and flashes. Tension rises as the tempo picks up, fueling the disjointed rhythmic quality within each sterile, self-contained unit.’ – Fox Digitalis

Hosted by our very own DJ Cheesemaster

Chris [Symmetrical Forces] creates live visuals for each performance using his own lo-fi footage, dusty VHS tapes and obscure videos from the internet to create futuristic images from the past overlayed with out-of-reach memories and vague fragments of lost visions.

The Rossi Bar is a small grade II building, and they are restricted with how they can improve access for anyone with mobility issues. The live music venue is located in the basement, which can only be accessed by a short spiral staircase. More accessibility information and images of the venue are in this document:

New release on the Spirit of Gravity BandCamp label: The sound of electricity flowing through a body

Monday 4 September sees a fine new release on the Spirit of Gravity label: ‘Sound of electricity flowing through a body’ by Warped Love Group, aka Jake Subtropic. This is an album of improvisations using the soma enner synth over primitive rhythms and rumbling bass. The soma enner synth makes its connections using the hands and body, which effectively become patch cables. The sound of electricity being transformed by the body – or is it the other way round? The result is a gorgeous post-rave electronica with plenty of unexpected twists and turns. It has an organic, hand-made feel – the sound of electronic music decoupling from the grid. Stream and download here from Monday:
