Charles Hayward – 30 Minute Snare Drum Roll
30 MINUTE SNARE DRUM ROLL takes a rudimental drum technique and extends this elemental sound out beyond itself into an undulating line that pirouettes and spirals through acoustic space, changing density, pressure and volume. The pencilled, monochromatic sound suggests more than itself; time is the frame.
Charles Hayward is an English drummer/singer/composer and was a founding member of the experimental rock groups This Heat and Camberwell Now. Since the late 80’s he has concentrated on solo projects and collaborations including Massacre (with Bill Laswell and Fred Frith), Monkey Puzzle Trio, Albert Newton (with Pat Thomas and John Edwards) and This Is Not This Heat.
Ill Japonia
Ill Japonia is the solo project and alter ego of Taigen Kawabe — the frontman, bassist, and vocalist of the London-based experimental psychedelic rock band Bo Ningen.
As Ill Japonia, Kawabe explores a raw and rave-driven world, blending heavy basslines, experimental electronics, and hypnotic rhythms with his signature intense vocal delivery. His live sets are high-energy sonic journeys, bridging club culture and avant-garde performance, always pushing the boundaries between noise, emotion, and movement.
Rooted in UK bass music, new age textures, and even video game soundtracks, Ill Japonia draws on a wide palette while staying spiritually and rhythmically grounded.
Aprapat
Aprapat is a Finnish harsh noise unit best known for its detailed metal junk noise and analog tape manipulation, with multiple highly praised releases on various labels around the globe.
