Unravel was founded earlier this year by four Deptford-based music producers, performers and visual artists (Ammonite, jl.segel, Semi Precious, Yasmin Vardi) – as a space for artists from within their community and beyond to be bold, experiment and present work as it progresses. Their work explores a fusion of electronic, ambient and pop music and emphasises a material engagement with sound and video practices. By sharing the stage with new and exciting electronic producers and audiovisual artists, they hope to create a home for interdisciplinary, ephemeral performance practices.
This instance will feature intimate and immersive performances from Ammonite (inc. visuals by Vardi), Dweller, and more.
Ammonite is a new project by songwriter-producer Amy Spencer. It’s where fragments of self-reflective lyrics, drones of humming vowels and broken repetitive words meet electronic processing and flow like a glorious, glitchy, blue river. Ammonite’s debut mini-album Blueprints is out now on Ransom Note Records.
Yasmin Vardi is a multidisciplinary artist who works across video, installation photography and text, delving into themes of power structures, crisis and trauma. Her work investigates the intricate connections between value, technology, abstraction, our physicality and our lifestyles. Together, Spencer and Vardi created a synthesised world that draws on the movement of water, cyborg feminism, shades of blue, past present and future for Ammonite’s Blueprints.
Dweller makes music for the other room. With influences spanning from Dub, jazz, Trip-Hop, Techno all the way to Impressionism, Dweller’s music has one foot in his church roots, and one foot in the underground. He brings his love for crate-digging, and his skills as a multi-instrumentalist to his eclectic, retro-futurist sound.
Other acts to be announced.
