- GNOD -
“GNOD’s music is inspiring because the creativity feels so unforced, a group of people constantly using their own curiosity to push themselves creatively and challenge their audience, too”. – The Quietus
The ever-transient psychedelic musical unit from northern England with nearly 20 years and dozens of releases under their belt, returned in 2024 with a recalibrated sound and a new sense of freedom. Spot Land’s five songs are tender and detailed, unfolding slowly with wistful guitar textures, brushed drums and interjections of lap steel, piano and kalimba.
The band have collaborated with people like faUst, Charles Hayward. GNOD are a must-see live outfit!
– João Pais Filipe –
Percussionist, sculptor and researcher João Pais Filipe (born 1980) has taken a unique path, combining various artistic methodologies throughout his practice and research into rhythms and timbres. His eclectic work spans the contemporary languages found in electronic and concrete music to traditional practices hailing from diverse geographies. His pieces result from an exploration of irregular tempos, in which he seeks to create natural fluidity through accentuations and the textures of sound objects he collects and manipulates. These include gongs, cymbals and other percussion instruments made of metal alloys, which he sculpts himself. During his two-decade career, he has recorded and released music eponymously, as well as through various ensembles (e.g. HHY & The Macumbas), and collaborations with Valentina Magaletti, Burnt Friedman, and Ilpo Väisänen (Pan Sonic).
