Howlround
Marking 10 years since first coming to prominence with hugely-acclaimed 2012 LP The Ghosts Of Bush, Howlround is a quintet (four slightly battered machines machines, one slightly battered operator) that creates recordings and performances entirely from manipulating natural acoustic sounds on vintage reel-to-reel tape machines, with all electronic effects or artificial reverb strictly forbidden. In an age where one can create all manner of electronic music with a simple swipe of a mouse, Howlround prove not only how much fun is to be had in making things complicated again, but conversely just how little effort is sometimes needed to create a genuinely uncanny and beguiling soundworld: the rough underbelly of our pristine, Pro-Tools universe.

Steve Davis
Steve Davis was the most successful professional snooker player during the 1980’s and won 6 world championships. After retiring in 2016 from the sport, he focused on his other lifelong passion, music. Co-presenting radio shows on PhoenixFM and NTS Radio with Kavus Torabi, saw him becoming ever more interested in the electronic genre. In 2018, after discovering the Modular Synthesizer a few years earlier, he joined forces with Kavus and Michael York to form The Utopia Strong. While attending the ever-expanding modular synth events around the country, he has teamed up with Steve O’Malley (a regular performer at Control Voltage in Southend) to embrace the challenge of improvised electronic music.

Franziska Lantz
