Blurring between quiet desire and ecstatic release: a night of live performances by BJ Holy, Magnus Westwell, Cliché Toupee + Willow Swan (duo) and Ans M [+ release of BJ Holy’s debut album ‘Broken Horns’]
Doors: 7pm
Tickets £8-12
London-based artist, composer & performer BJ Holy combines orchestral instrumentation with electronics, vocals, sampling, and video installation. Cultivating catharsis and temporal suspension are guiding principles of his creative practice, weaving together fragments of ambient, electronic, folk, industrial, and club.
Magnus Westwell is a Scottish artist and director working with choreography, composition and performance. Spanning the euphoric and desolate, Westwell’s work seeks to understand and express states of cathartic transformation through embodied sound.
Cliché Toupee conjures music from the space between ache and allure. Based in London, she sculpts soundscapes of gentle collapse. Where distortion breathes, melodies wilt, and beauty lingers in the wreckage. Their work is a hymn to ruin … or something.
Willow Swan is a sound artist based in London. Their work centers on long-form composition, acoustic phenomena, and the durational possibilities of drone. Working primarily with pipe organ, field recordings, and minimal processing, Swan explores harmonic instability, resonance, and texture through restrained, process-driven structures.
Ans M’s textural compositions drift between thickets of environmental field recordings and distorted club mutations. She co-runs Scorpio Red alongside Kelman Duran.
