Kingdom Shore

Dear friends, hawsers holding fast on the grim perimeters of this

pinchbeck

holding company, Kingdom Shore was formed in the early winter light of

2006,

beneath the long shadows cast by the punk rock that grew out of 1980¹s

hardcore, avant and art rock, electro-acoustic music, noise, old world

Gospel, and contemporary and left-field music. The current line-up

includes

Ryan Hough (violin), Marlene Cruz Lozano (violin), Jasmine Landau

(violin),

Katrina Gaibisels (cello), Mark Molnar (cello and electronics), Gerg

Horvath

(double-bass), Nathan Medema (found-sounds and field recordings,

laptop,

electronics, samples, real-time processing), and Simon Guibord (laptop,

electronics, Korg MS-20).

Sinequanon is the stage name of Jean-François Blanchette, a Hull-based

synthesist who has been producing under this moniker since 1998. Using

various acoustic/electronic instruments and computer software,

sinequanon

produces electronic music dominated by analog synthesizers and drum

machines. His musical harvest is characterized by memorable hooks, a

pop

sensibility, and sampled historical figures.

Simon Guibord has a keen eye for detail and an obsessive ear for sound,

Simon (laptop) constructs careful, increasingly complex electronic

rhythms,

upon which he lays warped, tweaked digital sounds and strong melodies.

Minimal, funky and occasionally aggressive, Simon's sound is strongly

tinged

with psychedelia, sometimes veering off into pure ambience; live, his

laptop

sets have often been augmented with the drumming of Sebastien Aubin

(Homestyle).

He's also in Parade, who played a really good show last night.

I completely forgot about that show Brad. I might make this one, though.
