Black Atlas and Confront present evening of abstracted found sounds, lush tones and drones and dense textural noise manipulation to promote the launch of two new CDs by the London based outfit Nos Phillipé and the recently formed duo of Jonathan McHugh and Mark Wastell.
This event also sees the first UK performance from the Melbourne based elctroacoustic duo Anthea Caddy and Thembi Soddell.

Bringing together the textural and dynamic capabilities of the cello, with an extensive palate of sampled and abstracted found sounds, this collaboration between Australian sound artists Anthea Caddy and Thembi Soddell generates a provocative and tense sonic world. Since the release of their debut album, Iland (Cajid 007CD) in October 2006, the duo have extensively toured both Australia and Europe, including performances at the Hoerkunstfestival, Germany, Instants Chavirés, Paris, and the Now Now Festival, Sydney. They are currently working on a new album and touring Europe this winter.
