Rare artefacts, sonic flora and textural deep dives performed live in round for Midsummer. 

Polypores, Burning Pyre & Public Footpath

Polypores is the alias of Lancashire producer Stephen J Buckley.  A consistent output over the last ten years has produced, amongst a prolific catalogue of self-released material, albums, 12s and 7 inches with the likes of Castles in Space, DiN and Feral Child. 

Positioned on a continuum that might include Hiroshi Yoshimura, Harold Budd, Mort Garson and the BBC Natural History programming of the 1970s, for the Star & Shadow he’ll be shaping an idiosyncratic and playful world, an oblique soundtrack for speculative microbiologies and fantastical blooms.

Burning Pyre is Newcastle producer Chris Owen. Chris co-runs the Eastern Nurseries imprint and has a fine catalogue of releases with the likes of Opal Tapes, Perfect Aesthetics. Performing fresh off the release of his album, Imago, on Glasgow’s co:clear label he’ll be showcasing a luscious mix of dub inspired, modern classical electronica and emotive ambience.

DJ, producer and visual artist Public Footpath can be usually found weaving expansive sonic narratives at Ernest and Cobalt Studios spanning genres and tempos through dub, ambient, techno and beyond. He’ll be opening with a live dreamlike initiation for the proceedings ahead.
