Humming Grotto #2
An evening of eclectic experimentalism downstairs at the PBC with Couch, Club Sound Witches, Clare Cooper & Jai Pyne
3 - 6pm [NOTE THE CRUISY TIME 😎] $10
Humming Grotto is new monthly series of sound and listening, taking place on the last Sunday of the month, downstairs at the PBC 💥

Danny Wild (aka Low Flung) and Laura Altman are Couch. Some might say they come from pretty different musical backgrounds, but Couch provide a cosy space for each others' stylings, traversing the fine edges of natural and synthetic resonance. Feedback, modular synth, tape, clarinet and a healthy dose of amplification result in a melange which is ambling, meditative, curious and alive.

Club Sound Witches is the long running underground techno project of Matt Earle and Nicola Morton. Their techno takes you out of the warehouse and releases you floating in !?:. Their improvised modulations evoke the emptiness of deep space and doubts that your mission will ever be complete. Immerse yourself in it and you won't give a fuck anymore.

Clare Cooper & Jai Pyne play ‘Tambourines’
Cooper and Pyne are collaborating for the first time for this show. They’ve both been active making music in Sydney over the last two decades, and are making something especially for this beloved bowlo.
Pyne is now mostly making music for film, moving pictures and contemporary dance these days, but you will remember him as the driving force and lead singer of Sydney indie band The Paper Scissors. www.jaipyne.com
Cooper plays mostly acoustic strings (harp, guzheng) and percussion inspired by machine sound and birdsong. She co-founded the NOW now festival (2001), Splinter Orchestra, and most recently Frontyard (2016) www.frontyardprojects.org, and Climate Strike Workshop. www.cargocollective.com/claremcooper
