    The Centrifuge Agency & Nereida Productions are hosting a FREE ENTRY evening showcase on Thursday 7th June at NIU BCN.

    Facebook Event Page

    Information:

    CN (aka EOD / 030303, WeMe, Wil-Ru)
    CN is the machine-music alias of emerging Norwegian electronic musician Stian Gjevik, perhaps better known under his “EOD” alter ego. Informed by sci-fi imagery, alien landscapes, classic analog hardware, submerged Drexciyan sonics and cold teutonic rhythms, he creates a rich sound world where arpeggios and atmospheric synth pads transport you to another realm.
    http://www.eod.fm

    Vaetxh (Detroit Underground, Schematic, The Centrifuge)
    Vaetxh is a fast-rising star of bass and glitch. Discovered by The Centrifuge in 2010, his heady mix of laser-precision audio manipulation and high-fidelity bass frequency workouts is winning him fans across the globe. The end result is something refreshingly unique in today’s hyper-saturated sonic landscape – intricate, engaging and emotive scapes incorporating the aesthetics of dubstep, glitch, IDM, ambience and field recordings. It’s in the interplay of natural and unnatural, of the real and the synthetic, the planned and the unexpected, the mechanical and the organic, that Vaetxh finds his inspiration.
    http://www.vaetxh.com

    missaw (The Centrifuge)
    missaw is The Centrifuge’s founder, label curator and resident DJ. His repertoire spans the cutting-edge musical spectrum, from ambience and drone to electro, acid and drill & bass. He is equally at home in concert hall, lecture theatre, laboratory and club conditions, mining his well-travelled collection of classics, obscurities, forthcoming label material and exclusive music from the artists and labels The Centrifuge is affiliated with.

  • [LDN] 26/05/12 Orcas | Rafael Anton Irisarri | Benoît Pioulard @ Cafe OTO

    The Centrifuge presents:

    Orcas (Morr Music)
    Rafael Anton Irisarri (Touch, Room40, Ghostly, Miasmah)
    Benoît Pioulard (Kranky, Type, Desire Path)
    Prima Mater (DJ set)

    Facebook Event Page | Ticket Link

    /////

    Quite a last-minute show so please help us to spread the word! The Centrifuge Agency is delighted to be welcoming the critically-acclaimed Orcas for their first ever London show, fresh from the release of their widely praised debut album on Morr Music. This will be a very special evening with both band members, each respected and established in their own right, also performing solo sets.

    Seattle’s post-minimalist composer Rafael Anton Irisarri plays his only solo UK show this year and Michigan’s Benoît Pioulard returns to London after recently enchanting a full house at Cafe OTO with his unique guitar and vocal explorations. Be prepared for an evening of Pacific Northwestern experimental guitar music, avant-folk songcraft and symphonic neo-classical ambience.

    Orcas

    Interview with Vice’s Noisey Magazine

    Album of the week on Boomkat April 2012

    Orcas is a new band by haze-pop auteur Benoît Pioulard and post-minimalist composer Rafael Anton Irisarri. Theirs is a style deeply rooted in personal variations on songform and ambient craft, and as a duo they bridge the furthest outlying aspects of their previous solo works.

    “This type of collaboration between experimental pop musicians can too often devolve into aimless fancywork and tech shenanigans, but Meluch and Irisarri have crafted a genuine, coherent album that conjures immense shadows and immense depths worthy of its namesake.” – Pitchfork Music.

    /////

    Rafael Anton Irisarri

    “Irisarri embodies the hybrid genre…the new kind of composer, who exists in an undifferentiated welter of pop, techno, and classical.” – Pitchfork (USA)

    Rafael Anton Irisarri is an American composer, multi-instrumentalist, curator, producer and interdisciplinary artist. He is predominantly associated with post-minimalist, drone and ambient music and has been exploring textural electronics for over half a decade. Irisarri’s recorded output captures an essential vision of floating tones, deep pulsing bass and textured Gaussian curves. His use of ostinato phrases taps into minimalist ideals, whilst his use of atmospheric layers of reverb suggests a more cinematic quality. In all, Irisarri’s compositions are deeply emotive and epic to the point of being symphonic.

    He is also known as the main member of electronic shoegaze act The Sight Below, and one half of the critically-acclaimed new duo Orcas with…

    Benoît Pioulard

    Since a young age, Michigan resident Thomas Meluch has been fascinated with the sounds of nature and tape decay—through almost a decade of recordings, he has fostered an infatuation with a sort of sonic density that combines remnants of pop song structures with the lushness and unpredictability of field recordings. A veteran drummer of a half dozen bands, Meluch chose guitar and voice as the primary instruments for his work as Benoît Pioulard. He began documenting field recordings and his own lo-fi compositions on dictaphones, discarded stereos and four-track machines in the mid 1990s, later focusing on highly limited CD-R and cassette releases of his experimental, folk-influenced songs for friends and family.

    [CF062] The Gasman – Clubfoot EP

    Released on Monday 16th April 2012 at https://www.thecentrifuge.co.uk

    Christopher Reeves returns for his fourth instalment of idiosyncratic electronics under his “The Gasman” moniker on The Centrifuge label. This time he takes aim at the 80s, with what he describes as a selection of “footwork classics”. So is he jumping on the Chicago bandwagon and letting the pitched vocals and toms rip? You’ll have to listen to find out.
