Admin Staff Productions Presents: Liminal Haze, Jonathan Deasy and Other Light

Liminal Haze are a duo consisting of Craig Stewart Johnson and Ross Scott-Buccleuch.They are a minimal drone act, utilising analog synths, tape loops, samplers and effects to create sometimes brittle, sometimes dense, slowly evolving pieces of hypnotic tone and cassette textures. Described by We Need No Swords as...A creeping miasma of muted throbs and distant percussive crashes….a toxic fog of greyscale pulsations that’s both intangible and hypnotic. Its grim vibrations seep like a cold gas into your bones and lull you into dulled acquiescence

Other Light Ensembleare an experimental music group from Derbyshire with a core quartet of Chris Jones, Matthew Redfern, Ryan James Mawbey and Jonathan Hill.

Using a palette of drums, percussion, guitars, synth and tape, the group explore pattern, repetition and deep listening - leaning into experimental rock, free improvisation, drone and post punk to present long form pieces of partly composed music.

For this performance, the group will be joined by guitarist, Petér Sharratt As the ensemble seek to explore the full acoustic reaches of the space - creating an enveloping meditation in the form of a single piece of music titled 'the sleepless hum of love’s echo’.
