ADAM WILLETTS (Auck)
Adam Willetts is an Auckland based musician and artist who makes beautiful noise with a homemade synth and a Wii remote and nunchuk that are used to play a computer as it samples its own electromagnetic fields.
FLIES INSIDE THE SUN (Dun/Chc)
A very rare live appearance by this long-running Christchurch/Dunedin free-noise group who began in 1993 as a quartet of Brian Crook, Peter Stapleton, Kim Pieters and Danny Butt. Over fourteen years they have released five CDs, along with compilation tracks on a number of European and American labels. The Borderline Ballroom show will feature the core duo of Crook (guitar, keyboards) and Stapleton (drums, tapes, shortwave radio), each with a long history of involvement in both alternative rock and experimental music in this country. This lineup featured on their most recent CD release Burning Glass (Metonymic) and the 12 min track White Walls on the Last Visible Dog Invisible Pyramid box set. Flies Inside the Sun make use of multiple sound sources with samples and electronics juxtaposed with the viscerality of rock music and real time free-play. Typically Flies music is improvised instrumental psychedelia with abstract ethereal sounds and minimalist trance elements which at times build into gigantic waves of wavering noise with Brian Crook's guitar a full-blown destructive force.
* please note last minute lineup changes which differ from those previously promoted for this event, and the later starting time of 8:30, to coincide with any artist-run-space christmas parties and PhD graduation celebrations which may be going on across town... :) Y'all have a good un, & enjoy this last and momentous BB for 2007. We'll see you in the new year. ----------------------------------------------------------
