Rafael Anton Irisarri (USA), Anna Chase and Alex White

Rafael Anton Irisarri (USA), Anna Chase and Alex White
Monday, 16 August 2010 19:30 - 23:00

Special thanks to Lawrence English and Room40 who has allowed this artist to tour this far south!

Seattle based artist Rafael Anton Irisarri (aka The Sight Below) has been exploring textural electronics for almost half a decade. His recorded output, captures an essential vision of floating tones, deep pulsing bass and textured Gaussian curves. His use of repeated phrases, taps into minimalist ideals, whilst his use of atmospheric layers of reverb suggests a more cinematic quality. In all his work is deeply emotive and epic to the point of being symphonic.

Irisarri is traveling to Australia for the first time to celebrate the release of his latest solo LP The North Bend, an album that tips its hat to the rugged terrain of the American Pacific Northwest. Hinting at connections to David Lynch's Twin Peaks, and contributing new forms to the traditions of neoclassical, spectral sound and ambient sublimity - Rafael Anton Irisarri arrives to transport and transfix those that come across his sounds.

Rafael is joined by Anna Chase a Sydney based multi - instrumentalist and vocalist who creates lush, emotive songs; weaving melodies into familiar yet dreamy pop constructions. She uses vocals, guitar and accordion to explore harmonic territories.
