   About Artamonova

I am obsessive about music, noise, sound, playing, improvising, writing, seeing gigs etc. I am very lucky to be spending pretty much all of my time doing those things at the moment. I have been playing, writing and recording with some very exciting people recently and looking forward to doing plenty more collaborations, sessions and gigs. Amongst the most interesting ones I have done fairly recently are SAN EXPO with "Behaviour", a 17-piece laptop and live electronics ensemble and Evan Parker, QuWack (E) (solo performance) and playing with Hunting Lodge as backing band for Damo Suzuki of Can.

My favourite things to play with: analogue synths (Bugbrand Mini-Modular and Arp 2600 have been the favourites), vintage hardware in general, feedback loops of all colours and shapes, interesting pedals and boxes, some lovely strange folk instruments (I have a couple: a finnish kantele and a bowed psaltry but I would like more) for which I use bows, e-bows and other sound generating objects. My first instrument was the piano but I also play some guitar, drums, bass etc. Sometimes I sing too...

Currently I am working on more musical, structured, song-based composition as well as continuing regular improvisational activities.

Some of my recent projects include:

Totton Glass (with ex-Hunting Lodgers Dan Bennett and Clive Henry), improvised mess of harp, electronic sludge, sax and guitar.

Fresh from their show at Barcelona's Primavera festival, Teeth Mountain will be unleash their heavy concoction of new-wave tribal psychedelic sounds on Cube, using driving percussion like other bands use guitars.

Deep, thick layers of rhythms and overlays of ambiance, from the gritty to the sublime, this eight-piece outfit create a controlled mayhem of weighty neo-tribal trance music, part Indian, part African, part Balkan, and part Baltimore, that transforms consciousness and carries the group and their listeners to higher states.

The Wire magazine recently praised their 'refusal to acknowledge any kind of destination point for their jamming, achieving a convincing state of suspension throughout, helped by some engagingly forceful drumming.'

Teeth Mountain pummel with noise and drums but are always inviting and joyous, a new wave of tribal sounds in underground music. Be prepared to witness a heady, peyote-voodoo brew, getting you out of your seats and on your feet.
Teeth Mountain will enthrall you in a rhythmic, musical spell.

DETHSCALATOR
http://www. myspace. com/dethscalator

DETHSCALATOR are from Stoke Newington in London and formed in the deep winter of 2007 after Stu, Matthew and Ben were kicked out of the cast of Cats the musical. After months of scouring personal ads Ben came across Dan's profile. His interest in Black Sabbath and ZZ Top piqued his interest, not to mention his hot, hot physique. Dan joined the band from his previous band Hunting Lodge as singer and Percy soon followed, possibly tempted by greed, because everyone knows noise-rock bands make lots and lots of cash. Fast forward six months and DETHSCALATOR are renowned throughout London masters of tempo. They have songs ranging from 88 bpm all the way up to 93 bpm. This has landed them on bills with the likes of Whitehouse, Pissed Jeans, Acid Mothers Temple and Clockcleaner. Comparisons with the likes of early Sabbath or Electric Wizard are not quite correct. DETHSCALATOR deliver heavy dinosaur balls but with the spastic inflection of bands like Scratch Acid, Butthole Surfers or US Maple.


"Despite being fronted by Hokaben's chief organisational driving force, the presence of stoned-squall rockers Dethscalator here is entirely justified on their own merits. With riffs the size of London itself, their only two self-confessed influences - Black Sabbath and Scatch Acid - are undeniable.
Considering any band that claims zero musical hat tips are ordinarily balls-out liars, though, you may as well

With riffs the size of London itself, their only two self-confessed influences - Black Sabbath and Scatch Acid - are undeniable. Considering any band that claims zero musical hat tips are ordinarily balls-out liars, though, you may as well choose the best. Hollering singer Dan Chandler paces on a trajectory only he can visualise, a bear with a shaven, sore head. And in 'Bradford Cockfight' they wield a memorable mid-Atlantic scrap played out halfway between Birmingham and Texas." - Adam Anonymous, Plan B, Issue 40/Dec 2008

hello good people

this is where you should be on SATURDAY!
MOTHER'S RUIN

Rampant Rabbit.

Continuing Leeds' strong tradition of exciting DIY noise rock, Rampant Rabbit are a rare and strange blend brewed in 2007. Musically, the dual bass trio deftly manoeuvre between complex math funk out riffs not dissimilar to Faraquet or Oxes and sludge-laden doom drones for fans of Boris or Melvins. Also they have fit young faces and lots of shouting.

Numbering just 8 strings between them members Henry Myers (Hank Haint, Zoob Toob) Luke James Webb (Dawn Chorus) & Adam Nodwell (Signuls, Massive Heron) have grown a maze of entangling rhythms on a solid foundation of mega-loud rock that celebrates influences including Fugazi, Shellac & Zu. Rampant Rabbit have already stunned crowds supporting the likes of I'm Being Good, Action Beat, Bilge Pump, That Fucking Tank, Take a Worm for a Walk Week, Lords, Nisennenmondai, Cleckhuddersfax & Oxes.


Rampant Rabbit will have a stricly limited edition EP 'Power Trio 2007 - 2009' on tour with them available only at the gigs!

Evan Parker / Chris Corsano / John Coxon / John Edwards
The Cube Microplex, Bristol
Sunday 25 Jan - 7.30pm - £8adv

Revolutionary saxophonist Evan Parker returns to The Cube with a new group that combines the talents of some of the most exciting musicians working today: formidable free noise drummer Chris Corsano; irascible Spring Heel Jack guitarist John Coxon; and incomparable double bass virtuoso John Edwards. Driven by the desire to explore, experiment and extend, these four musical adventurers will all play solo as well as together as a quartet, revealing the tense and fecund dialectic between individual and collective so central to improvised music making. Bringing together everything from space shifting circular breathing to stinging string scrapes, deep hitting wood slaps to extended bowed resonances, this spontaneous recombination of diverse sonic elements will produce music of a truly singular beauty. Absolutely unmissable.

NLF, Soe'za & Bozz Jatch

The Cube, Bristol
This Friday, 14th November
Doors 7.30pm
£4 advance, £5 on the door
(Tickets available from Here Shop and Bristol Ticket Shop)

NLF3
http://www. myspace. com/nlf3

Formed in Paris in 2000, NLF3 create music is cyclical, textured, halfway
between movie scores and psychedelic transgression. The band cites influences
such as Alice Coltrane, Fela Kuti, This Heat, Can and the early Sonic Youth
while mixing a lot of electronics together with a wide variety of instruments :
amplified kalimba, electric guitars and bass, drums, percussions, vocals.

SOE'ZA
http://www. myspace. com/soeza

Soe'za are currently a seven-piece band, hailing from points along the M4
corridor, from Bristol to London. With a somewhat unorthodox line-up of two drum
kits, two electric guitars, bass, French horn, Soe'za mix Can-esque grooves, and
urgent guitars with two disparate yet complimentary singers in the shape of Ben
Owen's clear-voiced declarations and Jenny Robinson's soulful melodies.

BOZZ JATCH
http://www. myspace. com/bozzjatch

Featuring current and ex members of Soeza, The Wailingest Cats and Zun Zun Egui,
Bozz Jatch are an experimental swing trio. Rumbling double bass and intricate
drums give way to complex guitar lines and smooth croons. Yielding a unique pop
sound that marries diverse influences; from Django Reinhart and Charles Mingus
through to the elaborate tapestries of Steve Reich and Tortoise.
