LOW ICE:

(@tcoleswords)

Low Ice is a solo dungeon synth project from Tee Coles, drummer for Bristol noise rock 2-piece The Tender Process (formerly of Absent Signifier & Sail). This will be the debut performance of the self-titled EP. Low Ice embraces landscapes haunted by frost, crumbling ruins with chills in their foundations and freezing winds that pierce your bones. Low Ice is lugubrious, otherworldly, forlorn.

For fans of: Mortiis, bitter winter mornings, the ice levels from 90s Zelda games

TOMMY CREEP:

Tommy Creep is a modular artist who introduces elements of punk and metal culture into their world.

‘I got into electronic music and synths through the Game Boy music/chiptune scene. Between bands, I was looking for a way to create and perform solo that didn’t involve an acoustic guitar and saw videos of people performing live with just a Game Boy through a PA and loved the simplicity and anti-music feel of it. Eventually I got into hardware synths and modular always seemed like the ultimate end-goal. Being able to choose whatever modules appeal to you and create a unique system that feels really personal was one of the main attractions, I don’t think you can really achieve that in the same way with other synths’.

‘I spent years playing in horrorpunk bands, where lyrically everything was about horror but musically it wasn’t really different from any other punk. Since getting into electronic music, I’ve focused on trying to make music that creates the images that the lyrics used to. I’m not a spiritual person at all, for me it’s more about trying to create an atmosphere in the music that evokes a sense of unease and curiosity.’ - Tommy Creep

SOL HUM:

Sol Hum specialises in heavily atmospheric drone music and modular synth "paganism" or trance. The performances build slow, immersive, and evolving sonic environments. The project is deeply experimental, utilising concepts of magic, world spirituality, sacred sites, and ritual practices to craft a hypnotic, transcendental audience experience.

His work unfolds through improvised sonic environments and meditative atmosphere, creating a space that feels elemental and otherworldly.

‘I explore altered states of consciousness through trance, ritual and sound… this project is the culmination of experiments I’ve been playing ‘round with - particularly drone music, modular synthesis and experimental rituals inspired by native and world spirituality.’ - Sol Hum
