For me, one of the highlights of the 2008 Green Man festival was avoiding the heavier-than-lead downpour and dashing into the cinema tent. On screen were black and white images of witches and horned devils. To the left were musicians making an amazing, churning, crashing slew of noise. The film was the 1922 silent chiller Häxan, the band were Bronnt Industries Kapital, and a similar thing is going to occur this Friday in Bristol. Without the scary precipitation hopefully.

BRONNT INDUSTRIES KAPITAL

“/Brilliant & terrifying/” Guardian, UK
“/Bronnt’s music acheives nothing short of transubstantiation,
repossessing this seminal cinematic curio with a sense of unique, almost
alien beauty./”
Venue, UK
“/Bartell is one of electronica’s staunchest and most singular  footsoldiers/” Wire, UK

 Bronnt Industries Kapital is the work of UK-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Guy Bartell, who has spent eight years exploring deep frosts of electro-acoustic melancholy, slow-burning sonic terrain and uncharted detours into the absurd. Bronnt released its debut album Virtute et Industria in 2005 on Static Caravan, and has recently found greater recognition through the release of 2009’s ‘Hard for Justice’ album on Get Physical Music. This evening will see Bronnt’s solo outfit expanded to a quartet to perform songs recorded for the soundtrack to the 1920s cult witchcraft film Häxan, released by Tartan Films. The group will fuse traditional brass, woodwind, piano and drums with live electronics to conjure the hypnagogic mood of Häxan’s otherworldly musical landscapes.

JASMINA MASCHINA

As one half of electronic experimental duo Minit, Jasmina Maschina has been exhibiting sound installations using a mixture of acoustic, electronic and found sound sources. Her debut solo album ‘The Demolition Series’ was completed in 2010, melding the most simple and innocent chord progressions of time-honoured folk music with a noisenek’s attraction to drone, repition and inventiveness. Live, Jasmina performs hauntingly beautiful variations of her songs, Fragile layers of sound swirling magnificently around your ears, each song based on her personal style of gentle guitar picking, yet at any moment capable of erupting into intoxicating noise.

SQUEEZE ME MACARONI

Squeeze Me Macaroni is a lone wolf, howling sonic flukes and orchestrated sadness into her shoes, which dangle over several delay pedals. If you like your post-rock tantric, and your love unrequited, Squeeze Me will provide an appropriate soundtrack to your fuzzy daydreams.
