the turbine hall at the tate modern is surely one of the most inspiringly open spaces on the british isles and the satisfaction garnered from not only getting the chance to witness artists such as actress and lapalux performing in such a room, but to experience the grant funded, volunteer led and fantastically enthusiastic endorsement of such projects first hand left me incredibly content. the kusama exhibition is absolutely breathtaking and was beautifully soundtracked (on my headphones) by four tet's there is love in you album and the workshops running in conjunction were also incredibly enlightening, special thanks go to rachel raynes from the thesouplab.co.uk and audio artist kelvin brown for tolerating and teaching me a few things. actress' performance was suitably understated and minimal, virtually beatless for the most-part, lapalux quickly picked up the pace thereafter and koreless finished off the bill admirably. a great day had by all i assumed. i managed to take a few pictures and have included a few tracks which suit the mood including a beautiful session version of angel echoes, one of my favorite early lapalux tracks and a track that flying lotus made for the still unseen burial dj kicks, something that came straight to mind when looking at some of kusama's early paintings . if you are a young person check collectives.tate.org.uk to get involved in future projects at the tate.

KINDNESS @ THE SOUP KITCHEN 22.03.12

kindness are the first new band i have actively liked in a long time, it's probably very strange but, through swathes of exciting and talented electronic musicians, nobody has grabbed my attention like adam bainbridge since late of the pier back in 2007....
and....yesterday i saw him perform with his touring band at the soup kitchen in manchester and was highly 'appointed by the experience, a fantastic album slips effortlessly into a cohesive and exciting live show with additional soul provided by a fantastic array of characters on guitar, bass, backing vocals and drums. around are a few lucky shots i got in at the gig and below are streams of my album highlights. also as for the slight lack of information on kindness who could sayit better that the man himself, adam bainbridge, "95% of everything you need to know about a new artist is on the record".(loud&quiet interview march, 2012)

 kindness -- house

i did however have a problem with the cd of influences that comes with the CD and vinyl release of kindness' debut album 'world you need a change of mind'......a story for a much longer post and if anyone comments on this post i will upload an mp3 of the CD for your own consideration before i vent......early days.....-h
