aircode

aircode is a Swedish producer based in London whose production is linked by tone rather than genre. Though, heavy dub-rhythm and careful use of space are reoccurring themes mixed with vocals, short occurrences of piano, halfway-club drum patterns and constantly changing dynamics. Following her debut release on TT (fka Tobago Tracks) we have seen releases on labels such as Alien Jams, Cafe Oto’s Takuroku and Nostro Hood System.

Severin Black & Vanessa Bedoret

In light of their debut release ‘First Passage / Excommunicated’ on Archaic Vaults, Severin Black and Vanessa Bedoret will be performing improvised material and themes from this EP live together for the first time. Their collaboration first took form at the beginning of lockdown as a one-off Montez Press radio show via Whatsapp voice notes – a reaction to isolation and the pitfalls of making socially-distanced music. Severin Black’s simultaneous interest in droning energies and the destruction of fidelity is present here in split forms, woven between Vanessa Bedoret’s violin invocations, which are performed both acoustically and processed. The full body of work takes influence from ancient rituals, pilgrimages, and their new context within the current social climate.

Zeynep Ağcabay

Born and raised in Istanbul, Zeynep Ağcabay's music explores the juxtaposition of Eastern and Western influences on their identity. Growing up with traditional Turkish music playing at home, Zeynep went on to discover new roots in London. Their experimental approach aims to discover a unique blend of these two sonic worlds by composing unusual structures of abstract percussions, ambiguous vocals, ambient soundscapes mixed in with instruments inspired by Turkish ney, kanun, davul and darbuka. Their first release was part of the label Archaic Vaults cassette compilation ‘Continuing a Worn Out Tradition II', released in July 2021.
