MIRROR SYSTEM 

Mirror System (A-Wave Records) is the downtempo and chillout project of System 7's Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy. 

The distinctive Mirror System sound is based on deep rolling grooves and the subtle blend of rich dreamy electronica and guitar. Mirror System’s successful debut album was released in 2005. Since then they have expanded their style to incorporate a soft minimal tech-house element.

For live performance Mirror System can adapt their style for a deep chill set or a much more danceable groove – or a unique blend of the two. Steve and Miquette have unparallelled experience in combining the classic Gong sounds of glissando guitar and EMS synthesizer with modern beats and textures, and classy chill-out alchemy.

The current Mirror System live set features tracks from the most recent album release Route 77 (2024), including collaborations with longtime compadre Alex Paterson (of The Orb) and re-imaginings of Manuel Göttsching's 'Sunrain' and Ry Cooder's 'Paris, Texas'.

“it's all about the journey, not the destination…….the whole album unspools quite gracefully”   -  Uncut magazine

“Stunning guitar and synth work, cosmic, heart warming stuff.”   -   Aliji  (DJ)

The GLISSANDO GUITAR ORCHESTRA &amp; THE SEVEN DRONES

In the early 80’s Daevid Allen was studying in a Tibetan mystery school in NSW in his homeland of Australia.

He learnt of many techniques and practices in the fields of meditation and self awareness. It was at this time he started working musically with drones. Continuous pure notes. These being the major notes of the musical scale C through to B. He then realised these can have correspondences firstly to the chakras in the body also to the colour spectrum, planets etc. E.g C base chakra, connected to the Earth and the colour red. These then ascend up through the body till we reach the crown chakra, colour purple, note B. By just experiencing these sounds in a receptive state can have the effect of balancing and healing the individual not to mention the surrounding physical space, emotional and mental space.

In 2006 in Amsterdam at the Gong union weekend at the Melkweg there was the first physical manifestation of the Glissando Orchestra playing these seven drones. Daevid felt it was the most important performance of the weekend. . . . .maybe it was.

Original 7 drones glissando player and co-curator of the orchestra, Brian Abbot, will be joined with fellow curator Andy Bole, along with Kev Hegan and Mark Huxley of &lt;&lt;nukli&gt;&gt;,  Paul Woodbine of Deviant Amps,  Gregg McKella of Paradise 9, and Jah Buddha aka Bob Hedger.

SHANKARA ANDY BOLE

Born on the harsh Lancashire moorland, His musical odyssey began with the resonant echoes of Greek melodies. The scent of olive groves and the azure Aegean beckoned. Andy embarked on a pilgrimage to Greece, seeking the wisdom of Bouzouki masters. In dimly lit Kafeneio, calloused fingers taught him the secrets. 

But Andy’s musical explorations go beyond boundaries. His spontaneous compositions blend rich sonorities, glissandos, and intricate melodies, creating a unique sonic experience.

JAH BUDHA	

Jah Buddha aka Bob Hedger, plays electronic music only using hardware in what is called “Dawless” i.e. not using a computer. The music varies from complete improvisation to compositions which always contain an element of improvisation but based on predetermined sections. It goes from ambient to Berlin School to Trance, always psychedelic and always changing.
