More super Upset the Rhythm stuff coming up in the next week or so, including a show that features Morgen und Nite! I’m totally honoured to be playing on the same bill as formidable drone ladies Marcia Bassett and Heather Leigh Murray. And Nite, of course, even though he is not a lady. Come and see us. I’m the one rolling about on the floor with two synths, and Nite is the one standing up with all the pedals.

ZAIMPH + HEATHER LEIGH MURRAY + MORGEN UND NITE
SUN 5 MAR - GREEN NOTE, 106 Parkway, NW1 7AN
[Camden Town]

ZAIMPH is the solo project of Marcia Bassett, best known for her intensely prolific work in Double Leopards and Hototogisu and various collaborations with the likes of Tom Carter. Under the ZAIMPH moniker, she has recorded and released two solo transmissions of mirage-like guitar, fried electronics and disembodied vocals. In person, Marcia’s set verges on the ritualistic, as she turns the room into a swirling vortex of light and energy.

HEATHER LEIGH MURRAY has long underpinned Charalambides, Scorces and Taupis Tula with her shimmering swathes of pedalsteel wizardry and otherwordly vocal intonements. Heather is now striking out with a growing number of solo performances, which see her improvisations taken to further extremes. It’s an encapsulating experience, as Heather enters a trance-like state layering her instrument and voice, until her bloodied knuckles can claw at her strings no more.

MORGEN UND NITE (aka the duo of Frances Morgan and Leee Nite) make spontaneous drone ectoplasms, behemoth riffs, high-end killer-hummingbird oscillations and BBC Radiophonic doom using guitar, analogue synthesis, harmonium and telepathy. They like listening to the music of Heldon and the voices of cats, playing in the key of C sharp and observing the colours purple and green.
