Human Commodity presents...

The Air Loom Gang-

A collection of pneumatic chemists with interchangeable heads, making a suffering hypnotic blend of improvisation, text based game music make their debut appearance. Shocking improvised liturgies, rumblings of new beginnings and echoes of the past blend together to create a ritualistic assailment where sound is recontextualised as sonic weapon. Utilising a mixture between traditional, non traditional and synthesised instruments (some unique and handcrafted tools) that are all funnelled into one mechanical breathing unit that filters any putrid gas into warp of magnetic fluid.

Currently configured as: Sam Spencer-Whitbread, Louis Clarke, James Clay, Ant Macari, Oliver Davies.

Drooping Finger-

The solo project of Jonas Halsall. Radiators and air con fans are rattled after midnight creating tense recordings and samples that are carefully crafted into a shared inner journey of the thing in itself. Quotidian and cosmic all at once! (Other projects include- The Agar Finger Inexperience, Inverted Grim Mill label and promotions, Hyper Inverter festival)

Dawn Bothwell -

(Hen Ogledd, Pentecostal Party, OPH) will perform a brand new rhythmic expulsion. Solo, ethereal and euphoric, blending entrancing music and surreal pop lyrics and spoken word enlivened with synthesisers, drum machines, effects, and vocals, creating an immersive sound that will coagulate in your ear drums.

Lee Baby Sims -

Schallplattenunterhalter (old DDR term for DJ: literally record entertainer)

LEE BABY SIMS will provide the vibes between sets and the visuals during! His ABSTRACT ANALOGUE ANIMATIONS and archival footage draw from a seemly endless bag of creative output. Hopefully he’ll bring his lava lamp... The one he TWOC’d from Nico…
