The Local have teamed up with Sleepsound Agency to present innovative modern electronic and acoustic music from England’s shores and a little bit further abroad on April 14. The result is The Dalston Residency, a multi-venue musical showcase spread over a weekend.
The weekend begins with a full length performance of Richard Knox and Frederic D Oberland’s “The Rustle of the Stars” at The Vortex Jazz Bar, where they will be joined by Angela Chan & Lidwine de Royer. 450 km from the arctic circle, ’The Rustle of the Stars’ is a phenomenon of austere beauty, a barely audible noise that occurs when the draught from human breath causes multiple collisions among the ice micro-crystals in the air. Also joining them for the evening will be the wonderful Clem Leek.
“On Sunday night, we have Jasper TX performing for us at Café Oto. Jasper TX is the musical moniker of Sweden’s Dag Rosenqvist,” says the press release. Using electric and acoustic guitar, piano, pump organ, melodica, glockenspiel, voice and various other instruments as a foundation for his compositions, Dag has managed to create his own musical universe. Elements of post rock, drone, improvisation, noise and lo-fi aesthetics are all filtered through a skewed melodic pop sensibility, often resulting in something quite unique. Also joining him will be Matthew Collings, and Ten.
