The spirit of experimentalism and creation runs through each of these sound art performances, with the focus on local and underrepresented musicians whose work exists far from the mainstream.
Angus’ curation was driven by a relatively newfound desire to explore a new musical community whilst living in Australia and explains “I felt like I needed to connect with other artists and if at all possible, empower them. I was surprised by how important it felt to help uncover and expose the wealth of talented experimental musicians. And yeah, my mindset hasn’t changed since being back in America - it’s just broadened to a more global one.”
With that in mind, a NY edition of Essential Tremors has also been announced – with performances from Liars, MELT-BANANA, No Age, Armand Hammer, So!YoON!, YL Hooi, Faten Kanaan, Tarquin Manek, Dream_Mega and more. The event, at Knockdown Center in NY, takes place on Friday 21 October with tickets going on sale this Friday 5 August.
Talking about NO GOLD, Angus goes on to say, “We’re in the midst of a major cultural shift, not only within the music and arts community, but throughout society. Outdated and unfair systems are finally being uprooted and I’m excited to search for real, equitable and sustainable solutions.” The imprint is currently in talks to continue the series in other cities, including London, Seoul, Tokyo and Los Angeles.
