“Hanna Tuulikki is inviting you to a bat rave: a party in the setting September sun, propelled by pulsing beats and lights. All being well, above your head will flit superskilled flying mammals – common and soprano pipistrelles, Daubenton’s bats – dining on insects attracted by your body heat. ”
Ultramarine
Ultramarine are the London & Essex-based electronic duo, Ian Cooper and Paul Hammond.
Formed in 1989, their early releases were issued on the seminal Brussels-based label Les Disques du Crépuscule. Their classic second album Every Man And Woman Is A Star (1991), was neatly described by Simon Reynolds in his book Energy Flash as:
'Perhaps the first and best stab at that seeming contradiction-in-terms, pastoral techno... all sun-ripened, meandering lassitude and undulant dub-sway tempos... like acid-house suffused with the folky-jazzy ambience of the Canterbury scene.'
The group's collaborative work has included partnerships with Robert Wyatt, Kevin Ayers, Anna Domino, Lol Coxhill & Iain Ballamy. Signals Into Space, the duo's acclaimed seventh album (Les Disques du Crepuscule, 2019), features songs written in collaboration with Anna Domino and contributions from saxophonist Iain Ballamy (ECM, Loose Tubes) and percussionist & vibraphone player Ric Elsworth. A companion ambient mini-album Meditations was released in November 2019. Early in 2023, Blackford Hill will release the duo’s latest development of the Blackwaterside project on 12” vinyl.
Failed System Test
Using saxophone, bass and electronics, Sonia Killmann and Aidan Lochrin create live ambient soundscapes. Most of the tunes are co-written and performed using improvisation.
Following the release of their first album System_Test.exe, Sonia and Aidan also released a second EP with the independent label Dead Hound Records. In March 2022, the duo created an audiovisual set for Cryptic's Sonica festival. The performance can be found on YouTube, Bandcamp and Spotify.
They have performed at various Glasgow venues, such as the Old Hairdressers and can be heard on independent Scottish radio stations, such as Clydebuilt Radio.
