Immersion is a free-entry experimental music/sound-art event featuring a soundtrack of electronic atmospheres, noisescapes, pulses/rhythms and tones/drones.
Immersion is an arena for new and established artists performing live experimental electronic music; using laptops, synthesizers, field recordings, circuit-bent electronics and prepared/processed/custom-made instruments.
Immersion promotes the whole notion of DIY/independently generated music - free of commercial constraints, or constrictions of catagorisation.
All sounds are partnered by stimulating projected visuals processed live and tailored for each performance.
The Flea-Pit is a unique cafe-bar/arts venue with comfortable retro furniture - and a gallery/performance area, in the heart of east/central London's vibrant art scene and is located only five minutes away from Shoreditch High Street. Nearest tube: Old Street (exit 2).
The artists featured in Immersion 05/06 are:
A Blacklight Communication:
Abcomm is an alternative rhythm oriented project of drone artist SS_R. Abcomm presents a series of experiments building up layers of Analogue synthesis and noises from a foundation of stripped down minimal electronic repetitions.

Alnagak:
Alnagak is a project in which all tracks are improvisations using the established conventions of techno as a base, then warped and distorted through home made hardware and software to create new sounds.

Diskhorde:
Diskhorde's music is intensely dark and dramatic. The unique sound is a product of fusing together sampled and organic sounds and the paring of both low and hi fidelity technologies. The edgy tracks emerge from a seemingly implausible blend of disparate melodies, ranging from old recordings of cultural music to the conversations on police radios, overlaid with distorted samples, and reinvented synth loops. The layering and blending of these elements creates an atmospheric journey that travels from expansive to claustrophobic, the remorseless mid tempo pace giving space to the complex cacophony of sounds. The result has a resonance that is in parts familiar and yet without a specific place.

God Goes Wireless:
God Goes Wireless is a collaborative project formed by two sound artists as a vehicle to explore industrial soundscapes.

Suero:
Suero is not looking for an electronic-perfect-label to describe what it does. Suero does not use computers. Suero builds a real time sound-noise sculpture based on his own sounds, to drive the listener to an analogue extreme and dark field, rather than a "cliche electronic happiness".

Sveldt:
Having caused a stir both here and in the US with his contribution to the 2006 Squarediscs compilation "fedhu/eusi", alongside the likes of MOQ and Eakui, Sveldt moved over to burgeoning electronic label Airvent Media for his limited edition debut EP "bi-polar" in 2007 and their latest compilation "Event White". Recent interest from Brainstormlab and their associated artists has culminated in remixes by Ralp and FMcontrol and a contribution to their upcoming release "un1q", a compilation of remixes of the Iqbit track of the same name.
Usually opting to play a fully improvised set instead of re-hashed versions of studio tracks, Sveldt live shows are always a unique, constantly evolving flow of rhythm, melody and soundscapes that is both dance-worthy and technically interesting.

pixelpusher:
pixelpusher (Evan.Raskob) is a live video performance artist, or "pixelist". After a few years of pixel-pushing across New York City, he now plies his trade on the mean streets of London. pixelpusher generates video out of a controlled chaos of photographic images, simple shapes, animations, sounds, and live video feeds. All software is homemade, all imagery is created live; things may go wrong in beautiful ways, and no performance is ever the same.
