Drone and Groove — By a Sky + Matthew Jacobson

Double bill solo sets by Matthew Jacobson, plus Nathan Sherman from By a Sky, incorporating drone, amplifiers, grooves and glitch.

Having added synth work to his voice as a creative music drummer and improviser over the last five years – notably with new music flute/drums duo SlapBang, Swiss-based improv trio hyperlynx and multi-instrumentalist/songwriter Anna Mieke – Matthew Jacobson is now utilising this expanded palette to develop work as a solo artist.

BY A SKY is a new performance project centred around a core duo of Nathan Sherman (amplified viola, electronics, percussion) and Garrett Sholdice (keyboard, electronics). The duo draw on their backgrounds in classical and contemporary classical music and their shared enthusiasm for drone metal and immersive, highly focussed sonic experiences. Their original material is characterised by extremes of dynamic: the delicate and intimate co-existing with the violent and abrasive. Spacious and cathartic, these soundscapes are sometimes haunted by the ghosts of older music.
