Second Square To None




We featured Zvuku awhile back in our Strings Series and he now has a new EP out on Heat Death Records. Full of beautiful post-minimalist drones and ambient textures, this collection is well worth checking out. It is released on 15 March and you can pre-order now on bandcamp.

You can now download the debut album from Gland & Conduit.
Download for free/name-your-own-price.

Thanks to all who came down to the launch gig last night.
Consisting of two familiar faces on the Irish music scene, Herv and Meljoann, the Gland & Conduit project is an experiment in free form sound design, electroacoustic composition and brain-cleansing noise. Standing in stark contrast to their respective solo output (melodic breakcore blasts / squishy R'n'B flavoured electronica), yet retaining a distinct impression of these two musical voices working in harmony, "Ore" is a half hour journey through fragmented, distorted sonic environments.

Second Square to None are proud to present the new project from Herv and Meljoann: Gland & Conduit's debut album, "Ore". To celebrate its release we are hosting a launch gig in The Joinery, Stoneybatter, Dublin 7 on Thursday 24 February. Support will come from Brian Conniffe and Suzanne Walsh, with SSTN resident Fyodor warming things up. Admission is €6. The gig starts at 8pm, make sure to get down early for maximum sonic delight.

Compositions by Withering Zithering

Improvisations with loopers and effects by Withering Zithering

Improvisations with reverb and hands by Withering Zithering

Withering Zithering is a recording / improvising project based around the music of home-made zither instruments played with a variety of extended techniques.

Meditative, somber music, made for late night listening, staring out the window and general elsewhereness.

Withering Zithering began experimenting with extended techniques as a teenager, which eventually led to creating custom stringed instruments to suit his needs. A debut release is planned for release later in 2011, until then a selection of improvisations, miniatures and sketches can be heard on www.soundcloud.com/withering-zithering.
