Café Concrete Plymouth City Project (CCPCP)
11 film/sound works by 18 artists in response to Plymouth buildings, spaces and places.
“The soundtracks to these 11 pieces mix experimental electronica with concrete field recordings. Kizzy Collins and Jason Hirons filmed Plymouth’s covered market using three fixed cameras to produce a virtually static triptych, while snippets of conversation break like waves over a constant roar of background chatter and activity. John Chapman’s wide-eyed tour of the sun-drenched Tinside Lido is perfectly paired with Ben Solo’s Ambient bliss. Bill Wroath’s obsessive images of marble flooring and escalator steps are mirrored in DJ Contort’s hallucinatory mix of human voices and booming mall sounds. Matthew Coombe’s flyover footage, bleached into diagrammatic abstraction, finds its match in Neil Rose’s skilfully composed traffic noise. Nick Grew’s fractured and visionary images of the derelict Millbay Silo conspire with Mesa’s Ambient gloom. Julian Cowley, The Wire (May 2010, Issue 315)

CCCD03
Mummy Thinks We’re Special. CD
A rich atmospheric work that ranges from apocalyptic noisescapes to minimalist drones – all undercut with a dark sense of humour – think Sunn 0))) and Merzbow meet the KLF.
CCCD04
Koombe – IV. CD
Infectious playful electronica, memorable bass-driven melodies and (un)stable (un)repetitive beats.
CCCD05
Oddstep Deployment Unit – All I Can Think About Is This. CD
The Oddstep Deployment Unit create false memories of a utopia located in a disused quarry somewhere in 1991. An alternative history, where Kraftwerk hail from Bali and acid house was made with gongs.
CCCD06
Neil Rose – Soviet Space Dogs. CD
Through a pastiche of ‘90s dance music, created using vintage recording equipment and home-made electronics, Neil Rose creates sound works inspired by the Soviet Space Dogs.
