Unmissable duo performance from two peerless proponents of outsider music pushing at the fringes. We're delighted to welcome this rare pairing of singular singer-songwriter, musician, poet, performance artist, and occultist, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (Psychic TV, Throbbing Gristle) and incredible noise artist and Wolf Eyes founder, Aaron Dilloway.
Hailing from Michigan, Aaron Dilloway was a founding member of formidable trip metal gods Wolf Eyes. Since he left that band a decade ago, he’s delicately extended his exploration of tape manipulations and found sound appropriation, simultaneously bringing warmth and acidity, high-end assault and dreamy dislocation in a way that could be said to unwittingly form a bridge between Robert Ashley and hauntology.
A serial collaborator, he’s also made great records in cahoots with Jason Lescalleet, C. Spencer Yeh and many more and been compared to Maryanne Amacher and Nurse With Wound. Currently based in Oberlin, Ohio, from where he runs the Hanson Records label and mailorder.
Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (born Neil Andrew Megson; 22 February 1950) is an English singer-songwriter, musician, poet, performance artist, and occultist. After rising to notability as the founder of the COUM Transmissions artistic collective and then fronting the industrial band Throbbing Gristle, P-Orridge was a founding member of Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth occult group, and fronted the experimental band Psychic TV.
As a duo, Cornish and Julian have collaborated on an album and more recently, a 7" single "Laughing Out" for The Tapeworm:
Their work is a collision of Feldmanesque recurring asymmetric patterns and oblique references to pop music via broken test equipment and out of date software.
Native South Londoner Dale Cornish explores the edges of and similarities between experimental music, electroacoustic and dance music. Since being part of the London electroclash movement at the beginning of the 21st century, Cornish has carved out a singular path that both combines and distorts experimental and club music sounds and tropes into new and unusual forms. Cornish’s output includes five albums for Entr’acte and several editions for The Tapeworm. His most recent and celebrated work ‘Traditional Music of South London’ was released by Manchester’s The Death Of Rave in 2022.
Phil Julian is a UK based composer and improviser active since the late 1990’s principally working with modular electronic devices and computers.
Releases have appeared on labels including Superpang, fancyyyyy, Entr'acte, Harbinger Sound and The Tapeworm.
