Simeon Bartholomew 11PM Soundscape, Improvised (Sydney, nsw)

An improvised exploration in fragility, by award-winning composer Simeon Bartholomew. Generally known for his explosive performances with the cinematic math-rock act, SEIMS; this set will see the bassist in one of his most vulnerable states - alone. Armed only with a fretless bass and too many pedals, get swept up by the overwhelmingly large soundscapes to the frail, tender moments that only uncertainty can provide.
