The Facemelter: Rumour Cubes, Dresda (It), kontakte

Chaos Theory presents an evening of sumptuous instrumental and electronic post-rock from ex-Glastonbury and ArcTanGent Festival performers, plus a 10th anniversary and a UK debut.

-----------------
Rumour Cubes

These post-rock veterans have been spreading tentacles of ambient, soaring soundscapes across the globe, catching people's attention with their classical and electronic nuances, attention to the finest details and unassuming political statements embedded in their writing.

Their work with poets and film-makers has allowed them to create a multi-media experience, and has propelled them to performances at Glastonbury, ArcTanGent and a support slot for Sólstafir.

Their albums 'The Narrow State' (2012) and 'Appearances Of Collections' (2014) received wide critical acclaim.

"...overflowing with a delicate, but nonetheless significant, passion." - Drowned in Sound

"...both bigger and fundamentally different to the input of the constituent parts." - Louderthanwar

Dresda

Celebrating their tenth anniversary this year, these introspective musicians hail from Genova, Italy, and will be driving over to make their UK debut in August. Their music is intricate, dense, yet gloriously cinematic.

They have several well-received releases under their belts, including soundtracks for critically acclaimed Italian independent movie 'The Krolevsky Case', and the short movie 'La lingua del disordine'.

In 2009, they were featured on the Italian DVD edition of the Canadian documentary 'RIP! A remix manifesto', distributed by Feltrinelli Real Cinema nationwide.

Conceived in 2005 from a string of old 4-track demos and further realized via a labyrinth of digital workstations and computer software, kontakte blend organic instrumentation within an electronic and hypnotic framework of programmed beats and pulsing synths.

Pooling influences such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mogwai together with Brian Eno, krautrock and shogaze sounds, this duo manages to perfectly blend shimmering electronics and ethereal melodies.

They have too many releases to name and have been remixed by many visionaries including Tim Holmes of Death In Vegas, Chris Olley of Six.By Seven and Russell.M.Harmon.
