WhenWhat
14 December 1996 (session 9):A trip to "the outer rings of Saturn" with N-TROPIC "AND SPECIAL GUESTS" at the controls. The evening lived up to the hype as layers of keyboards and effects meshed with guitar, sax and percussion in this truly intergalctic jam session.
25 November 1996 (session 8):Local latin-tinged deadheads RIFIKI played two sets: one of "straight" songs, the other aided and abetted by STEVE CLARKE (aka N-Tropic) on added keyboards and DJ AMBIESSENCE butting into the mix with various effects.
19 October 1996 (session 7):Darkness descended in the form of a live set of brooding electronica, programming and sequencing from BIRDSONG REVOLUTION, in between two slabs of rumbling rhythms and ambient textures by DJ TURNBILL-CROW.
28 Sept 1996 (session 6):"JUNGLE JUICE - an evening of ethno-tech music" was performed by a different combination of DAVE SAWYER "and friends", this time with more emphasis on thumb piano and poetry.
17 August 1996 (session 5):In which DJ AMBIESSENCE teamed up with junglist DJ PAULO for an evening of ambient drum 'n' bass.
22 June 1996 (session 4):Experimental instrument and sound scuplture maker DAVE SAWYER "AND FRIENDS" performed two eclectic sets featuring varied percussion and exotic structures (such as the mighty axelodeon), sax, flute, keyboards, bass, didgeridoo and poetry/spoken word weirdness.
18 May 1996 (session 3):Live experimental guitar/effects were laid down by DAVID STANLEY, featuring pieces by Karlheinz Stockhausen and local composer Sam Richards, plus a suitably weird set from DJ AMBIESSENCE - definitely stuff you wouldn't hear anywhere else in Exeter!
20 April 1996 (session 2):A live set from N-TROPIC combined trancey rhythms, spacey sequences, cosmic effects and improvised melodies into a neo-ambient whole, plus two dubbed-out trance sets from vinyl shifter MULDOON.
9 March 1996 (our first session):After a short meeting to set up the Society, punters were presented with JERRY CAHILL playing "ambient indo-European blues guitar" - delicate finger picking, sophisticated chords, lots of echo and other effects plus sampled ethnic backing rhythms, sandwiched between two sets by DJ AMBIESSENCE which encompassed ambient techno, ethnic percussion and chants, classical minimalism and blissed-out spaciness.
