15 Years in 24 hours

https://extra.resonance.fm/

The Spirit of Gravity have been at the heart of Brighton’s experimental music scene for the last 15 years. Established by maverick art duo Maphead and rapidly growing into a collective of around 12 artists/bands, they have been quietly and continuously programming and presenting the best weirdo music they can make and find. Recently validated with a request to submit to the British Library Sound Archive, the Collective felt this is a good time to broadcast a whole load of live gigs and ephemera collected over 15 years of live gigs, festivals, collaborations and label releases.

Tune in on DAB or online and witness recordings that range from shambling amateurish live events to shambling amateurish live events, but also include absolute gems from the likes of Dan Powell, Malevich, Hot Roddy, minimal impact, Multiplex, DJ Cheesemaster, Terror Wogan, DJ Shitmat, DJ Scotch Egg, Metronomy, Halal Kebab Hut, I’m Dr Buoyant and many, many, many, many, many, more….

Also catch Gravity Waves And The Spirit World, the regular Spirit of Gravity show that goes out every month on Resonance extra – next show – Saturday 27th February at 8pm

Weirdo electronics and ecstatic experimentalism​

Jeff Stonehouse
Liminal Guitar and electronics

Jeff Stonehouse was one half of the ambient/drone project called Listening Mirror. The Listening Mirror project was terminated in February 2013.
Jeff then explored different sonic landscapes. Traveling with him was Alicia Merz, who also releases amazing intimate and heartbreaking music as ‘birds of passage’. Together they inhabited and explored the dream-scape that they called ‘Snoqualmie Falls’ A place of dark and spectral beauty that they hoped was reflected in the music they produced together.
The Snoqualmie Falls project is currently undergoing a hiatus, to allow Jeff and Alicia to focus on other projects.
Jeff is also working with Sanja Vernacki, who also records as her solo project Lebdi, and is a member of the band MESTA. Sanja is also a very gifted tattoo artist.

Swarbrooke
Home-made electronics with a soupcon of noise.

Harvey builds small boxes and makes noise, he’s also a member of alarming Brighton based No-input mixing desk duo Fedschtck.

Elena Sedai
Micro Infinity: a visual score

“Micro Infinity, a visual score by Elena Sedai, based on video shot entirely from her window as a voyeuristic/int​erpretive type of situation concerning her neighbours and passer-by-ers. Performed by a small group of musicians, with one other piece”
