Focussing once again on the incredibly diverse and ecclectic sound found in other languages around the world, LINGO this time brings together some of Hobart's most active exponents of trans-lingual music. Joining in from Melbourne once again is bP, bringing a fresh batch of sonics gathered since he was last in Hobart in November 04... bP is one of the hosts of Uber Lingua's weekly Melbourne club and the energy behind the national wanderings of the crew as a whole. Also involved in both LINGO events previously were sakamoiz and Gusto who are revolutionary thinkers, putting their preaching into practice thru Djing highly exotic sounds in other languages... sakamoiz (who proudly lives in Cygnet) is originally from Switzerland and spent a large portion of his recent life in Mexico. Hence the quite mutant like fusion of Euro-Central American influences in his music. Being Swiss however, encourages Sakamoiz to be global in approach and uphold the reputation of his people. Gusto, one of the key figures in the Cluster Collective is fairly obsessed with Japanese music (and other Japanese stuff) and has a comprehensive collection of Nipon Hip Hop, Dub, Expero and electronic sounds... DJ BTC hosted Hobart's longest running dub®gae radio show, a sound which influences his newly evolved show What Am I on Edge Radio. Going LINGO, this time BTC is focusing on eastern european & italian hip hop. Fabio Chivandha, a well-known musician in his native Zimbabwe, is collaborating with a DJ line-up for the first time in Hobart. Nitriya from Edge Radio's 'Rhythms of India' is back due to popular demand from LINGO in September and several sets at the recent Hobart Fringe Festival, spinning Bollywood remixes and classics. In fact, all but one of the Hobartian line-up have radio programs on Edge...
artist bios
bP (Melbourne) bP (Brendan Palmer) has a background in music production, artist collectives, record label management and broadcasting. In recent times, heís turned his attention towards event production and DJ performances, through the environ and uber lingua projects. Currently, one of his focuses as a DJ is in modern music that uses a diversity of languages, a leftover of his time working with SBS. As different languages use different parts of the brain, and as languages not understood by a listener become a non-contextual sonic element of any given piece of music, Brendan is inspired to discover as much ëpost worldí music he possibly can. In 2004 Brendan has focussed on his two Melbourne regular events Environ and Uber_Lingua both highly successful projects in their own right. click here for a free mp3 download from bP
Gusto (Hobart) "I don't really write tunes with one genre in mind. Like most bedroom producers I draw bits and pieces from a range of styles. I guess most listeners place it in the genres of Drill 'n Bass, Glitch 'n Bass Hop, Plunderphonics and Ragga Jungle. This year I've been working on performing my music with my laptop, using my computer like an instrument." Gusto's sound is enriched by Japanese field recordings, samples collected whilst travelling streets and clubs of these islands. In Hob art Gusto is most well-known for giving birth to the Cluster Collective with Aaron Roberts and Emma Field in 2001. The Cluster Collective has brought together most of Hobart's avant-garde sonic and visual artists, playing in venues from Mobius to the stormwater tunnels under Elizabeth Street Mall.
sakamoiz (Cygnet) Post-Swiss, pseudo-Mexican, Tasmanian rogue...after an attraction to accordions whilst a boy, sakamoiz became lost in musical darkness. Some years later, the sound of tapping away on keyboards leaving him unfulfilled, sakamoiz became known as a collector of some of the finest underground music on the planet...some of which he has showcased as a Music Contributor on SBS Radio's Alchemy show. Selections spiced with Latin, Germanic, African and Aboriginal sounds have been the flavour of sakamoiz sets at Uber_Lingua's Melbourne club, St Jerome's, throughout 2004.
Nitrya (Hobart) Nitriya hosts Edge Radio's popular show 'Rhythms of India'. At the inaugural LINGO (September 2004) Nitriya welcomed the arriving crowd with Indian Rhythms from India, the UK and other centres of the subcontinetnal diaspora - reflecting her Singaporean roots. In Hobart Nitriya has DJed at Club Edge (Trout, North Hobart) and at the Hobart Fringe Festival (February 2005).
