DORR

Minimalist analogue electronics, warm waves of noisy shimmering drones and cold industrial clangs are meshed with skittering intricate microbeats, dense layers of bold expressive experimental guitar, performed with a variety of effects and implements (electric razors, vibrators, wooden bows). Forming a textural cocoon for the deep and intimate voice, framing the songs with a distinctive atmosphere that is simultaneously delicate and bombastic, full of glittering darkness and luminescent emotion.

John Dorr is a British born French based composer and performer. After graduating in 2012 with a BMus in classical music he created the instrumental neo classical band Stems, releasing 4 albums and a BFI funded live soundtrack for the George Melies silent film A trip to the moon, touring Europe several times and performing over 400 concerts. More recently he composed the soundtrack for Between the lights – scheduled for release in November 2024.

Etta HarBar captures both the allure and discord of noise by shaping chaotic distorted sounds from familiar sounds and patterns. Inspired by loud and abrasive sounds, Etta uses circuit bent childrens toys, broken cassettes, drum machines, and lots of guitar pedals to create eclectic and chaotic noisy mayhem. Each set is different and explores a new type and field of music from harsh noise to ambient to tekno to breakcore.
