STENCH is an artist-led forum that brings innovative and experimental performance to an adapted warehouse space in a former industrial part of Leicester city centre. Events happen on the first Friday of each month during the student calendar that bring together local and international artist. STENCH is interested in the promotion and dissemination of: sonic art, improvisation, installations, noise, silence, dangerous experiments, twisted beats, dirty electronics, deep bass, visualisations, new media, and exhibitions. The forum is particularly interested in exploring the interchange between sub and mainstream culture, hybridity and cultural exchange.
The name STENCH reflects a state of disquiet, the subterranean, cultural decadence, something that is visceral and a challenge to the senses. By confronting this challenge, STENCH hopes to advance new artistic visions, develop ideas and encourage discourse amongst musicians and artists and generate excitement in finding the new.
COMING UP
STENCH returns with an audio-visual feast of ear and eye shaking, featuring 7inch Cinema, Cuttlefish, Myoptik, Bathysphere, Dirty Electronics Ensemble, Okoku Araya, Chris Conway's Quad Electronic and others. The Phoenix provides the setting for multiple screen and loudspeaker projections, electronic bleeps and laser visuals, with late bar and DJs.

More Mars is very proud to announce a new series entitled "anarthria"(from the greek word anarthros = the complete inability to produce articulate speech. )
First release would be Fiesta Animal's Secrete formula of Coca-cola. A collective of artists [musicians, painters, interfering individuals...] from Uruguay, that join together their artistic suggestions and give us their own musical Idiom. Music deeply influenced by 80s and 70s no wave, industrial and psychedelic scene but also mixed with Latin American culture. The unorthodox way of the recording and the production, using tape recorders, give us a sence of an undiscovered old tape. Lo-fi aesthetic meets freak out psychedelia and tropical rhythms. A big variety of instruments like glockenspiel, percussions, gitars, sumplers ... and the characteristic vocals of Ana Arioni and Adriana Navarro give us as a result a musical construction that sounds more like a fiesta that leads you to spiritual trance. This cd-r comes out with a six page booklet full of graphic designs by Julia Saldain using scaner, paints, fax, pics, collages and much much more!
The group have been elected in the 'Garita Sonora' call by the Ministry of Education and Culture in Uruguay, where some of Fiesta Animal's most experimental work will be performed and their excellent visual art exhibited.
This release would be a limited edition of 250 copies
