Shimmer Crush allows dark-matter to interact with the tiniest dust and drone particles. Emotive and translucent, solemn and surreal......minute glitch tentacles sway back and forth in an enigmatic haze.' (igloo magazine) Her songs form a narrative as a soundtrack to life and experiences, featuring simple, raw, experimental electronic compositions that are accented by haunting vocalizations and spoken word to create thoughtful sound. Described by i die: you die as music that incorporates 'cicada-like clicks trickling through soupy pads' with 'discordant breaks and pinched waveforms', influences of IDM, minimal techno, soundtracks, industrial, post rock, ambient and experimental electronics are clearly reflected throughout. 'Offering immediate beauty with an underlying current of danger', (a closer listen), there is a dreamy quality to her sound that will take you on a journey meant to resonate and inspire. https://shimmercrush.wordpress.com Video: https://vimeo.com/117016204 Music: http://crimeleague.bandcamp.com/album/these-four-walls .. 10:00 . Weep, O’ Mine Eyes . Formed in 1984, by Michael Weicker, Weep, O' Mine Eyes has been an evolutionary journey to present day. Weep, O' Mine Eyes was inspired by the German Expressionist Movement of the early 20th Century, by such artists as Oscar Kokoschka and by early industrial musicians such as Throbbing Gristle, Chris and Cosey, Kraftwerk, Thomas Leer and Robert Rental. Weep, O' Mine Eye's early musical experiments utilized analogue synthesizers, drum machines, eastern hand drums, as well as found objects such as metal canisters and power tools. In recent years, digital and analogue modeling synthesizers have been added to the studio as well as samplers and an Eigenharp. This augmentation, coupled with digital sequencing and mixing equipment has allowed for an elaborate mix of past and present electronic music technology. https://weepomineeyes.bandcamp.com (Weep, O' Mine Eyes can also be found on Apple Music.) .. 11:00 . Paul Kwitek . Born in Lublin Poland, Paul Kwitek is an award winning Music Producer and Composer who defines a vast musical landscape.
