DEATH REHEARSAL featuring: Enereph & Jesse Whomst, Fleetwood Snack, and Occult A/V
The Belltown Yacht Club and Deathrage Collective are proud to present DEATH REHEARSAL, an evening of left-of-center electronic music from Seattle, Washington. Highlighting some of Seattle's most exciting up-and-coming, DIY, and experimental electronic artists, this month's Death Rehearsal will feature Occult A/V, Fleetwood Snack, and a collaboration between Enereph & Jesse Whomst. The evening will kick off with a set by a very special guest DJ. Come for the vibes and stay for all the friends you make along the way.
Enereph and Jessie Whomst
Enereph & Jesse Whomst make sonic distortions using samplers, modular, and keyboard synths. Jesse Whomst is a modular artist, producer, and audio engineer. His downtempo rhythms build organically into energetic peaks, moving fluidly between mellow and off kilter sounds. Enereph combines textural percussion and mystical ambience into sound worlds meant to calm and provide a sense of openness and clarity to listeners. She utilizes the Octatrack MKI sampler and a modular synthesizer with a small collection of FX pedals to achieve her sound. Her palette is genre-fluid and includes applications in dance music, ambient soundscapes, and alt pop.
Fleetwood Snack
Fleetwood Snack performs boundary-crossing yet catchy electronic music that is both dancy and raw. A key figure in Seattle's DIY scene, Fleetwood Snack also runs Seattle's Susquatch Festival and Sus Records.
Occult A/V
Occult A/V is the solo electronic project of David Kumler, a musician, producer, multimedia artist, and academic currently based in Seattle. Kumler is best known for his work as half of the postpunk/darkwave outfit Foxxxy Mulder, and has also released a handful of garage/punk tracks under the moniker Cosmic Bummer. Inspired by artists ranging from Pye Corner Audio, Burial, and Underground Resistance to J Dilla and Madlib—as well as Carl Sagan’s astrophysics documentaries, the filmography of Adam Curtis, and the writings of Mark Fisher—the music of Occult A/V is equal parts cosmic and hauntological: It explores the relationships between human and the infinite, as if to remind us that human history is nothing more—and our lives nothing less—than reverberations of the big bang. Part hallucination, part dream, part rave, Occult A/V will have you pulsing to the rhythms of another world.
