Sunday School and CLOT Magazine launch their first in a run of exciting collaborative events, with a very ~noisy~ Christmas party on December 19th at The Glove That Fits in London.
Sunday School has taken London’s punk, noise, experimental, and DIY scenes by a storm this year with biannual all-dayers and pop-up event series. Commanded by Dom Stevenson (aka YAWS), these events have been offering a unique view and approach to event curation and organisation, which hasn´t gone unnoticed.
For the first event, we join forces to bring together a group of artists in the experimental and noise scene in London, part of a larger artistic community in the city we are proud to be involved in and support.
The star lineup includes kenichi Iwasa, the London-based improviser and multidisciplinary artist from Japan, and ultimate maverick. Know for his legendary Krautrock Karaoke nights and collaborations with visual artists and musicians such as Neneh Cherry, Naima Karlsson, and Maxwell Sterling. He’ll perform under a new alias, Command + Option + Escape. Expect experimentation and craziness in similar doses.
A very special performance will be by Xname, the Milan-born, London-based conceptual artist Eleonora Oreggia, one of the 2024 winners of the Oram Awards. With a sound that features elements of techno, noise, ambient drone and industrial, she is also the creator of REBUS, a novel musical machine that can be played by plucking electromagnetic. Eleonora is also a writer, researcher and leader of an electronic music degree at Goldsmith University.
Deep Hole will be another of the surprise acts by another London-based sound artist and musician, who you will all be familiar with and has been a key player in the experimental, noise, punk and post-industrial scenes since early 2000s. We know very little about this performance, but we are sure it will be something special.
After YAWS’s much-awaited and successful return to the experimental scene stage at our second PORTALS events last April, he is back again, this time in a collaboration project with the East London noise cloud Vera Spektor. The Italian-born artist navigates sonic interzones, creating his own idiosyncratic echo system. With their collaboration, the pair will aim to break sonic paradigms and systems.
TFT (another artistic expression from Stephen McLaughlin, aka An Trinse) will showcase a brand new and evolving live show in which his overloaded dancefloor workouts have been streamlined into a mix of a sleek futuristic world of corporate idents, infuriating polyrhythms and deadened digital atmosphere.
Welcome to the dark glow of the festive season.
