Pyramid Club is happy to present NZ free noise pioneer Bruce Russell and electronic duo Oghum in the deeply resonant pedestrian tunnel under the Wellington airport runway.

BRUCE RUSSELL
Internationally renowned experimental musician and writer Bruce Russell is a founding member of The Dead C and free noise combo A Handful of Dust (with Alastair Galbraith). He established the Xpressway label in the 1980′s to release music by experimental New Zealand artists. Russell later established Corpus Hermeticum, an imprint for New Zealand and international artists, exploring free noise and improvisation. In 2009 Russell published Left Handed Blows: Writing on Sound 1993-2009. He continues to write for publications including The Wire. He claims his main instrument is the amplifier (usually a small NZ made Concord valve amp from the early 1960s), and he is also known to play guitar and tape machine.

OGHUM
Oghum is the insterstellar duo of Nell Thomas (Orchestra of Spheres, Cookie Brooklyn and the Crumbs) and Jonny Marks (All Seeing Hand, Mean Bones), performing on Synthi AKS, theremin and other assorted items.

P-LAB: Rosie Whinray Exhibition Artist Talk

A black and white photo of Rosie Whinray. She walks carefully, one foot at a time along the rocks of a stoney beach. There is a hill cascading down into the sea on the right, off into the distance. The photo is likely taken along the south coast in Wellington, where Rosie collected much of the material for her Pyramid Club exhibition. It is a bright day with few, small clouds.

Artist Rosie Whinray will host an interactive talk related to her Pyramid Club exhibition about ways of looking, personal relationship to place, the practice of finding, and how it relates to other forms of pattern recognition and storytelling.
