About this Event
Martin Christie
Martin Christie is a musician and writer specialising in mixing sung/spoken word with electronic and experimental music. He has released numerous albums previously under the name Poet & the Loops, but more recently simply under his own name. He has also had remixes of his tracks released by Werra Foxma Records and helped to collate a compilation album called Electronic Music Travels with the same label.
Martin is the founder of the all Electronic Music Open Mic (EMOM) movement which he initiated in early 2017 in Manchester. The approach came out of attending traditional open mics which were dominated by acoustic guitarists and a feeling that there was no proper place for electronic/experimental musicians to meet and play their creations.
The initial EMOM nights have inspired regular nights in Bristol, Hull, Nottingham, Stoke-on-Trent, York, London and elsewhere, even in Toronto and Adelaide. There have also been EMOM nights in Amsterdam, Berlin and Sydney.

QUBIK first started creating electronic music in the late nineties with collaborations with Matt O’Brien and Alien. Solo tracks followed with several vinyl releases via Off Key Records. QUBIK’s debut album ‘Everything’s Everything’ will be released in the summer.

Evey

Obscenity State
