About this event
WEIGHTED MY HAND returns to The Cube Microplex with a slew of Bristol debuts meeting regulars and residents ~ converging upon cavernous bass oscillations, meticulous vocal tapestry, avant-garde performance art and crushing drone metal EVITCELES [LIVE] | Since 2014, prolific Bulgarian producer Evitceles has assembled an impressively extensive discography, spreading across a multitude of electronic genres and distributed across the world via esteemed labels such as Opal Tapes (UK), Strange Therapy (NL), Yerevan Tapes (IT) and AMEK Collective (BG). Evitceles has performed live at arts venues and festivals in Italy, Armenia, Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands amongst others, here presenting his work in the UK for the first time, alongside a September slot at prestigious London venue Cafe OTO. Whilst deep rippling rhythms, hazy melodic sensibility and obscure samples have long driven a sound of dreamy melancholia, recent releases have seen Evitceles' sound acquire intense, punk inspired vocal delivery and abrasive, cutting guitar playing that achieves new and urgent life when channeled into live spaces at signature piercing volumes. THEA GRANT [LIVE] | Norway's Thea Grant displays a breathy and gentle vocal delivery which sets a tone of intimacy, drawing listeners into a world where sound becomes an ethereal companion. The richness of her composition lies in its multifaceted layers: warm sub-bass swells form a sturdy foundation, enveloping you in a cocoon of deep, resonating tones. These are further complimented by reverberating layers that stretch across the sonic spectrum, creating a vast and immersive soundscape. While the foundation is built on intimacy and warmth, there's a playful yet artful incorporation of heavy distortion and vocal pitch shifting. These elements add vibrant crunch to the otherwise dreamy, distant feel, creating an intriguing tension within the music.
