Seamus Fogarty
Irish alt-folk alchemist Seamus Fogarty has released two albums on Domino Records - ‘A Bag Of Eyes’ at the end of 2020 and ‘The Curious Hand’, released in 2017. He released his debut full-length, ‘God Damn You Mountain’, on cult Scottish label Fence Records in 2012. His albums have been universally praised for their fresh approach to songwriting and unique fusion of traditional instrumentation and electronics.
Alula Down
Kate Gathercole & Mark Waters make music that is born of relationship, exploring connection with the land and with the magic and ordinariness of our human-being.
With eclectic musical roots, they make use of collage, improvisation and field recording. Their explorations of folk song and their own self written songs are underpinned with drone and textured soundscape. Recognising that many traditional / vernacular (‘folk’) songs illuminate dispossession and inequality, Alula Down explore these divisions between self and other, and treat the ecology of place as a point of communion, not as an uninvolved landscape.
Jason Kahn
Born 1960 in New York, Jason Kahn is a musician, artist and writer. He lives in Zürich. As an electronic musician, guitarist, vocalist and percussionist Kahn collaborates with many international musicians in the context of improvised music. He has also composed numerous electro acoustic pieces and graphical scores written for specific groups and musicians. His work can be heard on over two hundred solo, collaborative and compilation releases.
Kahn's installations and interventions have been shown in museums, galleries, art spaces and public sites internationally. These works focus on the idea of space: the conceptual and physical juncture points, its production and dissolution, and our relation to it as a political, social and environmental medium.
