The Blue Mountains Void Observance League present Vacuus Rituale III, a night of esoteric noise and soundscapes, featuring:

Lucas 'Granpa' Abela

Lucas ‘Granpa’ Abela (fka Justice Yeldham) has been performing their signature instrument; amplified shards of glass for over twenty years now. Their singular practice spawned from the noise music underground, where the glass evolved from a means to create ecstatic free-noise cacophonies into an oddly versatile instrument producing some form of organic electronica. Abela plays the glass by vibrating their lips against the pane to create both audio and the envelopes controlling parameters within a modular patch that uses no traditional synthesis techniques, all sounds and modulations derived from glass itself. For the Grey Nomad tour Abela will be conducting a question-and-answer session after the show, explaining their patch and similar techniques used in their recent collaborative album with Zach Hill (Death Grips) ‘bag-of-max-bag-of-cass’ on Warp records.

Naomi Oliver

Naomi's sound practice drifts between noise and melody - from discordant to ethereal, comfort to unease.
