An evening of outsider electronics, heavy drones and experimental sounds with special guest Tim Olive from Kobe, Japan!
Interior Network & OKRA present
Tim Olive (Japan)
Tim Olive uses magnetic pickups and simple analog technology to investigate, invoke and amplify the inner voices of metal objects.
Delightful mayhem — strong, loud, bold and determined, without being as inchoate or alienating as harsh noise or table noise, although there are still moments of distortion and feedback to satisfy those with a thirst for blackness. At all times Tim Olive appears to be in full control of his sources, directing and diverting them as he will, without sacrificing any spontaneity. Excellent release of noisy unkempt churnage and broilery. The sheer inventiveness and originality of his projects always floors me… As ever with anything where Olive is involved, there’s a genuine sense that the music is being explored and invented in real time. Fab!
