A Nite Hive label night featuring Jo Montgomerie, Agnes Haus and Pefkin

Bishops' House · Sheffield

Jo Montgomerie is a producer, sound engineer & music teacher based in Greater Manchester. Originally from South West Scotland, Montgomerie’s work uses repetition, drones and manipulation. Playing with piano, electronics and field recordings, Jo explores themes of feelings & connection through spaces & time. ‘made to appear’ is about all of the emotions. Love & loss, fear & joy, but it’s also about all those tiny emotions in between - the ones that don’t last, but you still feel. It’s about the space between extraordinary & everyday. The transition from one to another - it can be a split second. This work moves away from the compositional style Jo had been using recently. It’s less extreme, less ‘noisy’, but with more clarity. The recordings are more deliberate, and the piano is the lead. Agnes Haus is a UK-based non-binary audio-visual artist and composer creating murky, fractured aural landscapes revolving around semi-autonomous explorations made entirely with modular synthesisers. In 2023 and 2024, respectively, their first two albums, "Sequel' and ‘Everything Is Resurrection’ were released on the renowned cassette label Opal Tapes, and praised for their ble...

Touring to support his new album "Time Unstated, Hues Unseen". A tape loop repeating, posing mundane questions to the listener: "Am I different because you are different from one moment to the next; or, am I different because I am different from myself from one moment to the next?" It is hard to tell. The ebb and flow of difference and repetition always produces a psychedelic interrogation. Where were you when you first heard me? Who were you when you first heard me? Are you still there? Are you still the same person? Breathing in and out is sort of similar. Something we do continuously as a matter of survival. One breath is not so different from the next, but each breath is also a seemingly singular event, a repetition bleeding into its own repetition. Is listening any different? One sound bleeding into the next, as if beginnings and endings fail to matter....

Bishops' House · Sheffield
