SLOW SOUND SYSTEM
LIE DOWN AND BE COUNTED

THE FOUNDRY : 13 FEBRUARY 2005 : 3-8PM

‘Quality avant chillage’ BBCi
‘Unadulterated bliss …’ RESONANCE FM

----------

The slow sound system explores ambient listening, new electronica and pixel manipulation … we return for 2005 with the first of our free listening sessions.

Lining up at The Foundry on 13 February are two of London’s brightest stars of electronica, last encountered at the London Headphones Festival last year. We’re Breaking Up lay down delicate shortwave experiments and electronic snap, crackle & pop. Meanwhile Cheapmachines explores warm noise, field recordings and tape loops.

On the bench: digitals, soundscaping and audiocollage from resident djs iMax and Albert, plus digital artworks and flash workouts from Janek Ropinsky.
