club zho 67

keith fullerton whitman (us) & mike cooper (uk)

keith fullerton whitman

electronic artist keith fullerton whitman performs his solo guitar with electronics project.

“whitman gradually folds in additional layers and hints of counterpoint, from organ-like chords, soft bells, and an assortment of subtle glitches; and then harsh chords creep in. from there it’s a steady plow into dissonance, as sheets of noise are piled on and most traces of pleasantness are left behind” mark richardson, pitchfork media.

mike cooper

in this fully improvised solo performance mike cooper plays lap steel guitar combined with field recordings, electronics and voice to accompany a backdrop of his own recent super eight film works.

“an enthralling maze of colour and intrigue”

Memegraphy: Call for Acts

Imagine: bands playing at the same time, in the same song. Memegraphy is a WA experimental music project. Collaborators will layer jazz ensembles with hardcore bands and a capella choirs, mix percussion sections with noise artists and folk singers.

Memegraphy are seeking expressions of interest from all original WA musicians: indie outfits, string sections, jazz ensembles, folk groups, electronic producers, metal bands, blues artists, noise experimentalists, percussion sections, New Music composers, choirs. Over the course of the project, there will be opportunities available for in-studio recording, composition, partnerships, and remixing.
