Polymorphism #10

FOREST SWORDS is Matthew Barnes’ solo project. Barnes, based in the windswept coastal town of Wirral, near Liverpool, began releasing gauzy, hometown-flavoured drone-pop on cassette in 2009. His debut EP, »Dagger Paths«, was released by US label Olde English Spelling Bee / No Pain In Pop in 2010. Barnes has remixed the likes of These New Puritans, Gold Panda, The Big Pink, and Burial, and has DJed for BBC’s 6music. Barnes is also involved in Dyymond Of Durham, a collaborative project with fine artist Otto Baerst. His most recent album, »Engravings«, was released to critical acclaim on Tri Angle Records in 2013.

GUT + IRMLER unfortunatley had to cancel their performance at Polymorphism #10 due to scheduling issues. They will be replaced by a rare appearance of KUEDO, presenting some new material.

A renaissance man of electronic music and beyond, Jamie Teasdale made his name as part of the acclaimed duo Vex’d, whose brutal take on dubstep helped define the genre in its infancy. His early works under his KUEDO moniker, such as the acclaimed Starfox on Planet Mu, were colourful and playful, with a sense of freedom from genre. His subsequent releases, including his debut LP Severant, have developed as more introspective and melancholic than his earlier works, as emotive soundscapes representing a futuristic, sci-fi world. Kuedo’s sets, both as a DJ and live, also reflect a diverse range of influences and inspirations. Hard Atlanta rap instruments and fervent footwork sit side-by-side with 80s synth soundtracks, quasi-disco, and elements from the post-dubstep musical universe. What defines Kuedo is, paradoxically, the impossibility of definition.

GOLDEN DISKÓ SHIP is Theresa Stroetges, a young Berlin-based multi-instrumentalist and video artist who performs live as a one-girl orchestra. Her imaginative soundscapes, shifting from delicate melodic lines steeped in nostalgia to the feedback arcs and textured distortion of machine abuse, evoke lucid dreams and have won critical praise for their fresh, eclectic collages of electronic and acoustic sound. Her debut solo album, »Prehistoric Ghost Party«, was produced at the legendary Faust Studio, home of the Klangbad label, and her tracks have also been released on Monika Enterprise’s »City Splits # 1« and »The Wire Tapper«’s June 2012 compilation.
