DRONE ENSEMBLE

AT THE BOILER HOUSE, NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY

SATURDAY 18 AUGUST 2018
6:30PM - 9:30PM

FEATURING: ROB BLAZEY  II  TIM SHAW & JOHN BOWERS  II  ME LOST ME  II  CHARLIE DEARNLEY  II  BEN JEANS-HOUGHTON



Drone Ensemble is an experimental sound group that uses hand-built acoustic/electric instruments in extended improvised performances. The instruments draw influence from musical traditions from around the world but are unique in their playability, construction and sound. Drone Ensemble has a fluid membership and promotes a belief that exciting and cutting-edge sound art is not an exclusive activity but rather is better enjoyed through a sense of community.

For this 3-hour performance, Drone Ensemble will bring forth complex frequencies that excite the Boiler House air; weaving between slow, meditative sonority and thunderous rhythmic patterns.

At various times throughout the performance, Drone Ensemble will be joined by special guests who include- Rob Blazey, John Bowers/Tim Shaw, Me Lost Me, Ben Jeans-Houghton and Charlie Dearnley.

Audiences who wish to be lost in a realm of drone are invited to attend for the entire performance, others are invited to drop in and out throughout the duration. Spirits will be lifted up into the eternal frequency and the universe will never be the same again.
