They began by agreeing what they didn’t want the project to be: no improvising or jamming\, no overdubs\, keep the tracks short etc..\nTheir novel use of microphones and live tape processing add a dynamism to the music where elements mask each other or the overdriven meters suggest the whole thing is on the brink of collapse.\nhttps://horn-of-plenty.bandcamp.com/album/gipping-through-the-ages \nAUGUSTÉ VICKUNAITÉ\nAugustė Vickunaitė is a sound experimentalist who employs vintage reel-to-reel tape recorders to play\, record\, and create sounds\, articulating diverse layers of recordings including found material\, field recordings\, voice\, music instruments\, objects\, and the whole spectrum of malfunctions of decaying technology.

Swaby leads a talkshop developed in collaboration with Black Feminist Bookshop and the Wharf Radical Lending Library. \nDrawing on the themes at the heart of her book\, Amy Ashwood Garvey and the Future of Black Feminist Archives\, we invite you to reimagine what an archive can be and how we might bring archiving into our everyday. \nTogether\, we will strip “the archive” out of its academic shell to leave its true form: “our story.” The story we will begin to build together is one of Black Political organising in the North. \nWe ask that you bring with you anything you find connects you to the wider collective of Black organising here in the North. It may be a physical object or a video or a picture; a moment of resistance in your life or a whole album. \nFrom this we will reflect on Black Feminist Bookshop and the Wharf Radical Lending Library as spaces for us to both dream and build. And to begin this journey\, photography and audio recordings will document this event\, building an archive of this collective experience: The People’s Archive. \nGET TICKETS NOW URL:https://wharfchambers.org/event/the-peoples-archive-book-talkshop-with-nydia-swaby-hosted-by-black-feminist-bookshop-x-wharf-radical-lending-library/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wharfchambers.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/unnamed-1-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250405T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250405T230000 DTSTAMP:20260403T212849 CREATED:20250203T112224Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250203T112420Z UID:14366-1743876000-1743894000@wharfchambers.org SUMMARY:Decolonise Fest DESCRIPTION:Decolonise Fest is coming to Leeds with Decolonise On Tour (funded by PRS)\, bringing some of our favourite northern punx of colour on stage at Wharf Chambers.

A sound underpinned and overlaid with drones\, moving in and around a diverse chasm of post-rock\, melancholic doom\, noise and ambient. \nLed by Richard Knox since 2011 and now existing as a trio with Luke Bhatia and Claire Knox\, A-Sun Amissa have a fiercely DIY approach to music that takes in recording\, tour booking\, artwork and putting out their own records via Richard’s Gizeh label that has been in operation since 2004. \nAIDAN BAKER\nListen – Bandcamp / Website – aidanbaker.org / Instagram \nAidan Baker is a classically-trained multi-instrumentalist focusing on the electric guitar as his \nprimary instrument. Using prepared and alternate methods of playing the guitar\, along with various electronic effects\, Baker creates music which generally falls within the ambient/experimental genre but draws on influences from post-rock\, shoegaze\, electronica\, neo-classical\, and jazz. \nA highly prolific artist\, Baker has released numerous recorded works\, both solo and with various \ngroup projects—most notably his dreamsludge duo\, Nadja—and including collaborations with such artists as Tim Hecker\, Carla Bozulich\, Jussi Lehtisalo (Circle/Pharaoh Overlord)\, Ekin Fil\, FM Einheit\, and many more—on such independent labels as Karlrecords\, Southern Lord Records\, Important Records\, Alien8 Recordings\, and Gizeh Records. A frequent live performer\, Baker has toured extensively around the world\, including appearances at such international festivals as FIMAV\, SXSW\, Amplifest\, Unsound\, Roadburn\, and Supersonic. Originally from Toronto\, Canada\, Baker currently resides in Berlin\, Germany. \nSULK ROOMS\nListen – Bandcamp / Website – linktr.ee/sulkrooms / Instagram \n\nA pseudonym of Yorkshire based composer Thomas Ragsdale\, the music of Sulk Rooms draws the link between euphoric electronica and smoke engulfed drones. Slow-morphing textures sequence and cascade\, encapsulating intimate moments of colliding sound amongst fluttering arpeggios and transcending synth builds. \nA predominant soundtrack artist included in many of Adam Curtis’ groundbreaking BBC documentaries as well as scoring BBC true crime series\, Netflix features and Prada commercials\, Sulk Rooms is part of Domino Publishing’s prestigious composer roster. \n\nAtmospheric music for the head alongside the heart\, Sulk Rooms’ music captures spontaneous audio mirages and saturated imperfections within a crushing backdrop of low end and harmonic ferocity. Electric soundscapes and rising techno map Sulk Rooms’ universe where panoramic pulses fuel adrenaline charged synths to feelings of both wonder and unease. \nGET TICKETS HERE URL:https://wharfchambers.org/event/a-sun-amissa-aidan-baker-sulk-rooms/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wharfchambers.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/AS_AB_SR_Tour_Web_Poster_Leeds-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
