An evening of experimental songwriting and tape music. Featuring a new collaborative piece by Popular Music & Paul Cousins, alongside performances by Adam Christensen and Fondant. Tickets £6-10 sliding scale. No/Low Income tickets are limited: please be mindful when purchasing. Popular Music are a Melbourne-based duo of former Parenthetical Girls leader Zac Pennington and composer Prudence Rees-Lee. Born in Los Angeles, the shadow of the Hollywood sign still lingers over their sound: weird, hauntological pop built on lush string arrangements and analog electronics, where threads of grief, myth-making, and memory twist toward the tragic-comic. Paul Cousins is a sound artist & composer based in London. Using a collection of 1/4 reel-to-reel machines, tape echoes and other analog equipment, he creates music on the themes of repetition and imperfection. His compositions have featured in major installations at the Barbican, Whitechapel Gallery and in FACT magazine. In addition to releases with Decca Records, Castles in Space and BMG, in the studio he has worked on a diverse range of projects for major/indie labels and recorded Grammy winning artists. His recent sound installation Atomised Listening invited visitors to interact with obsolete music technology at Stone Nest in London's West End. Adam Christensen (UK, 1979) is a London-based artist who makes performance, video, fabric and text works, and performs with the music project Ectopia, which was Wysing Arts Centre's band-in-residence in 2016. He has previously performed and presented work at Overgaden Institute for Contemporary Art, Copenhagen, Baltic Triennial as well as Almanac, David Roberts Art Foundation, Southard Reid, London, Institute of Contemporary Arts and Hollybush Gardens in London.

Baba Yaga's Hut Presents: Ak'chamel + Christina Deva At The Horse Hospital, September 15th First ever UK show for Ak'chamel! "Ak'chamel's deliberately lo-fi, murky temple music conjures not only the post-industrial rituals lusting for the pagan days of Druidic Britain but also the pantheistic, impishly playful rhythms from Thai temple music as well as some choice nods to the occult ethnomusicology of their professed influences, The Sun City Girls." -aQuarius Records Ak'chamel has built a solid reputation as one of the most compelling stage projects of recent years. Wearing nightmarish costumes and engaging in hallucinatory rituals. Their singular sound comprising desert-scorched psychedelia, post-apocalyptic shamanism, and lo-fi ritual-folk is as unique as the physical theater of their live performances. Authors of around fifteen cassettes, three vinyl LP’s and several cryptic VHS videos, they have been active for over a decade performing major festivals on both sides of the Atlantic garnering press from VICE, Consequence, The Wire, and many more. Christina Deva is a Greek vocal based musician and artist, interested in raw and unfiltered expression, and the power of transformation through the voice. Through her music Christina Deva aims to be a mirror of transpersonal metaphors that reflect the horrifying beauty of being alive. Vocalising is perceived as a surrender of the human vessel, through which the spirits flow, morph and transmute, where gender dissolves, where age dissolves, where there is no distinction between the ugly and the beautiful, the darkness and the light. In her solo work, the lyrical aspects of her music are birthed as poetry with surreal symbolism, archetypal energies, states of transcendence and descendence, an animistic realm where threads of interconnection between all are unveiled. The Horse Hospital was established in 1993 by Roger K. Burton, THH has uplifted countercultural and experimental art across music, performance, film, fashion, and visual art. It has also served as a living archive of countercultural activity and outsider art. Presented by Baba Yaga's Hut. All ages

A noise-music matinee, doors at 4pm. Tickets £6-10 sliding scale. Méryll Ampe (b. 1984) is a French sculptor, sound artist and composer based in Paris. He conceives sound as a medium to be sculpted in real time and improvises from analog sources (synthé modular and drum machine). Playing with the interweaving of volumes, perspectives and dynamics, he creates sharp and very raw materials. He also likes to skirt the limits of sound and dig into its flesh with a permanent interest for roughness and porosity. In live performances, Méryll Ampe engages instinctively and radically, calling upon the listening of the place and the body that serves as a barometer to weave massive sound states that unfold, intersect, mix or decompose. The result is thunderous bursts of abstract noise and rhythmic saturations. Joe Davies is an artist. His recent works has take the form of a series of collaborations as a part of 12 april (CCA Glasgow) and friend city (London Performance Studios) (with George Lynch, Tom Hardwick-Allan, Alex Mckenzie and Hannah Taverner), The Listeners (The Horse Hospital with Grace Black) and XX-XX-XXXX (Westwerk, Hamburg with Richard Magee). He has exhibited his across a number of artist run and diy spaces in London such as Zona Mista, Spanners and Cafe OTO. This is the first instance of Joe's sound project birdsong inherited noise. Rectal Reaper is a collaboration between musicians Aga Ujma and Alex McKenzie. Improvised noise using harp, bass clarinet, and electronics. This gig marks the 1 year anniversary of their first duo performance.

Angle is an improvising duo of Jean-Luc Guionnet, alto saxophonist, organiser, and electroacoustic composer and Jean-Philippe Gross, who performs using a custom-built acoustic feedback system. https://tanzprocesz.bandcamp.com/album/angle With ANGLE, we put our trust in the possible rejuvenation of the relationship binding electrical and acoustic instruments and their relationship to a transmission system. There is a part of immeasurable between the two, and this is something that we not only accept, but we want to deepen this divide to see what stays before starting off from what is left, which will indicate the direction we need to take, whether it be a cut, interaction, non-reaction, exaggerated guards, or pause at the worse possible moment. The experience is one to endlessly recommence. What is left should endlessly be re-evaluated. We depend on the situation as much as we can, as we are thus working on this dependency. When the research is made to music, when protocols are awakened by a situation, when relationships are organised according to that which is supposed to muddle them, a hairy forest of hertz that sometimes resembles the most arid of deserts, a grey over grey that encompasses as many rainbows as we want the opposite Breathing Heavy are the saxophone and sampler duo of Sam Andreae and Ciaran Mackle. Myriad interweaving woodwind lines whirl and reel in convulsive fashion, overlapping patterns weave and dance like reflected light from water, and a dizzying array of motifs are conjured and discarded as if the pair were concerned about leaving any scrap of energy unspent. All the listener need do is to simply bask in the joyful tumult. Andreae's alto saxophone playing ranges widely from fluttering trills and an almost whinnying lyricism, to hefty squalls that seem to revel in a raw physicality. Alongside this (around, over, under, through), Mackle creates a densely swirling cataract of stuttering, tumbling sonic fragments that continuously reflect the entire entity back on itself like a collapsing hall of mirrors. Based in London, Laaraa is an interdisciplinary artist who works with generative audiovisuals, sound, machine learning/AI, video, painting, drawing, writing, and installation. A fascination with the intricacies of human connections to the body and the complexity of memory drives a curiosity that considers the relationship of humans and materiality to time, space, and technology. Through her practice, Lara is interested in aspects of existence and how our interactions with others, space, time, and environment shape our experiences. https://posthumxn.me/
