Advance tickets £6 from: http://www.musicglue.net/v​iolanights/


Following on from the huge success of its debut back in May,

VIOLA NIGHTS hosts its second event, featuring two exciting artists each with a very different take on electronic music.
—————————————​-

From a small village in the Swedish countryside, bringing what can be described as Northern Lights folk-tronica, come girl/boy duo The Deer Tracks. Their gorgeous sound is like an elfin telex from another universe, an electromagnetic mist of melodies and harmonic noise. Critically acclaimed debut album ‘Aurora’ received stellar reviews across the board including The Guardian and NME.
The band reached an even larger audience with a full song placement in the hit show Grey’s Anatomy.
They will shortly release their second long player ‘The Archer Triology Pt 2’ as part of a trio of releases.

“The Deer Tracks combine folk-ishly delicate melodies with glitch techno techniques.” The Guardian

“Beautiful and ethereal songs that are epic in both scope and, occasionally, length.” The Fly

Gyratory System is the sound of electronica played by clockwork and steam-powered sequencers. Combining acoustic and electronic they draw on sources from post-punk, to jazz, to Krautrock, to early house music.
Two albums to date, ‘The Sound-Board Breathes’ + ‘New Harmony’, have met with great critical praise and radio support.
When not creating Gyratory System’s blend of heavily treated wind instruments, synths and processed percussion, producer/trumpeter Dr. Blick is a constitutional historian and author who once worked at No. 10 Downing Street. His diverse musical background includes work with artists such as Damo Suzuki of Can, David Gedge of the Wedding Present and drum n’ bass DJ Grooverider.

“If David Cronenberg had managed to create his own BBC Radiophonic Workshop to score his films, their music might have sounded something like Gyratory System…a collection of little jewels… ” The Quietus
