Sono | Sonic

As the weekend, and almost the festival, draws to a close, join us as we celebrate experimental sonic sounds with four experimental sound artists:

Rotten Bliss
James Donnelly
Flavolous
Stoneygate

Rotten Bliss is the violent, warm and weird visions of London based avant-garde cellist and vocalist Jasmine Pender. Equally inspired by the wild physicality of Jacqueline du Pre and the shrieking glory of a cello played through FX pedals, Rotten Bliss packs diverse influences into an elemental voyage, raging from tender a capella lyrical fantasies through to ecstatic nihilism. "coarse and beautifully heavy songs... Pender's tracks [betray] hallmarks of folk, metal and classical without subscribing to any particular tribe"
