High Mayhem Emerging Arts brings you yet another night of duo performers, a two-a-piece concept.

Simulate Sensual

DEBUT SHOW!!!! Simulate Sensual is a project spawned by DJ Ultraviolet and Betty Payne in February 2005. On the one hand, they mimic the ironies of pop culture itself – replete with danceable rhythms and bouncy melodies. On the other hand, their sound rejects (self-destructs) the ubiquity of pop culture with sardonic lyrics and minor chords…bizarre stylizations. Simulate Sensual explores the beautiful within the ugly, the ugliness of the beautiful: the pleasure of pain, the power of desperation, and the ecstasy of precision and associated vice versas. Simulate Sensual uses voice, “psycho-acoustic simulations”, bass and guitar, and samplers. 4AD wishes they had found them first.

Audible Whispering Half Quartet

Audible Whispering Half Quartet contrasts electro-acoustic into a sonic agreement that could sneak up right beside you with two hands full of calming auditory disturbances giving no consideration to genre. Distressed melodic, and if necessary, aggressively atonal, their instant compositions quickly determine a structural course for Gaspar Cabanes and Alex Neville to navigate. Aural vocals meet the kinetic percussive, where they introduce various glass tones and transduced metal scraping to digitally prepared tight ropes and safety nets. Audible whispering uses instruments they created, such as two percussive tables built into a turn table case and a PVC clarinet. They also use a one-string electric cello, a seven-string electric guitar, voice (both sampled through single sequence station) and sampled Rhodes piano.
