R.Lancaster & Basic House -first collaborative release on Opal Tapes....

The new Basic House & Metrist- split cassette release 'The World Is Order, Incarnate' on Opal Tapesfeatures the first collaborative release between Basic House and R.Lancaster- in the form of 'AM. GRAVE'. Listen and buy here!






"Split tape from Opal Tapes bossman Basic House and Metrist (ResinFifth Wall). Basic House is first up with the blackened, unnerving soundscapes, clanking metal and tormented distorted vocals of ‘Ursa Minor’. Sounds like some really bad shit is about to go off and then what sounds like a pig being slaughtered occurs accompanied by birds tweeting. As in chirping, not doing stuff on social networking. ‘AM Grave (With R. Lancaster)’ ventures further into darkness, a foreboding black ambient doomscape then he dishes out some beats on ‘Cloaking’ for some eerie, creeping techno" -Norman Records.

"Ursa Major exercises their noise daemons in a hellish echo chamber, and Rachel Lancaster joins in for the atonal blister of AM Grave whereas Cloaking trades in straight forward rolling techno and Piethug’R’Us hacks up hoary anti-funk grooves and Speed V1 dispenses saltiest, blown-out synth psychedelia." -Boomkat.

A Cut, A Score- CIRCA Projects- BOOKSHOP

A Cut, A Score

Adam Denton, Basic House, Chlorine, Kathryn Barnett, Midwich, Rachel Lancaster, Sophie Cooper, Thijs Geritz

28 November 2015 – 23 January 2016


"As part of BOOKSHOP CIRCA Projects have developed the online Soundcloud archive ‘A Cut, A Score’ with CIRCA Projects 2015 ‘Network’ member Kathryn Barnett.
A Cut, A Score takes as its starting point Barnett’s interest in field sound recordings, and presents alongside her own work, a selection of practitioners who use field recordings in contrasting ways. By allowing each contributor to discuss their own approach to phonography: answering how, why and what, we aim to allow each entry to reflect the highly individuated practice of field sound recording."
Accompanying descriptions of each audio-work can be found on their Soundcloud description. All artworks curated for A Cut, A Score can be listened to at https://soundcloud.com/acutascore

CIRCA Projects- BOOKSHOP, at the NGCA Sunderland- runs from 28th November-23rd January 2016. click here to see the full program of events.

live foley performance at Bohunk Institute, Nottingham 4th July 2015






Event - Live

Katie Goodwin & Rachel Lancaster

Brain Eaters

4 July 2015

Artists Katie Goodwin and Rachel Lancaster met during a residency at Tyneside Cinema in 2011. This chance encounter has since resulted in them collaborating on this new exhibition and on a performance which uses everyday household objects to create new foley sound effects for B-grade horror movies from the 50s and 60s.

Utilising the unused underwater footage shot from Small Wonders, the Brain Eaters concept stems from conversations with Terence Preston about the fresh water living amoebae that can get up your nose and eat your brain (in very rare cases). It is a sensationalist tongue-in-cheek take on the usual newsroom hysteria to diseases pumped out to the masses.

Brain Eaters was funded by a Small Arts Award from the Wellcome Trust.

installation of 'Pull' (2015) at Tyneside cinema gallery

"‘Pull’ (2015) is a new work by Lancaster that playfully constructs a sense of mystery and disorientation through the interplay between reality and illusion. The artist applies macro photographic techniques to create an isolated, abstracted space defined by movement, rhythms and colour. ‘Pull’ features an audio soundtrack created by musician, Stephen Bishop."
