THE NAUSEA – Requiem Aeternam CS
Anju Singh has been the primary figure behind the Vancouver Noise Festival for the past seven years, the drummer and vocalist in long-running (and now nearing fully-realized) death metal band AHNA, and has held countless other roles in the punk, metal, and harsh noise scenes in Vancouver. THE NAUSEA has existed alongside all of this for the better part of a decade now. These six violin-based movements channel GYORGY LIGETI’s works popularized in “2001: A Space Odyssey”, and JOHNNY GREENWOOD’s contemporary classical score for “There Will Be Blood”, as they both ascend to levels of compositional clarity and descend into a cavernous, hellish nightmare populated by the harrowing voices of the dead and the dying. Similarities can be drawn to JASON LESCALLEET’s epic “The Pilgrim” as the crescendo of harsh noise begins to decay. Death is the ultimate theme at play here. A long-awaited debut release from a figure instrumental in maintaining Vancouver’s integrity in the harsh noise scene and beyond.
Cold-catcher
Cold-catcher is the project of poet and non-musician Cam Scott; lo-fi and attentive to salvaged and sentimental materials; a post-punk and pre-revolutionary love cry.
Jane Harms
Jane Harms thought she would make pop music but in the end any music would do because all music brings us closer to heaven. She bought a harp but the kind with buttons, because it was all she could manage, or afford. She found a way to have its automated strings trigger synthetic tones, to then collide with a voice straining, breaking under the weight of interpretation.
