The distinctive Mirror System sound is based on deep rolling grooves and the subtle blend of ric h dreamy electronica and guitar. Mirror System’s successful debut album was released in 2005. Since then they have expanded their style to incorpo rate a soft tech-house element.\n\nMirror System live uniquely combines de ep chill and non-frantic danceable grooves\, and gives Steve and Miquette a perfect opportunity to deploy the classic Gong psychedelic sounds of gli ssando guitar and EMS synthesizer with modern electronic beats and classy chill-out alchemy.\n\nMirror System have released 4 standalone albums\, pl us one combined with System 7:-\n\nMirror System (2005)\n\nReflector (DJ m ix compilation) (2010)\n\nN-Port (2015)\n\nCafé Seven (with System 7) (20 18)\n\nRoute 77 (2024)\n\nRoute 77 includes collaborations with Alex Pater son (of The Orb) and re-imaginings of Manuel Göttsching's 'Sunrain' and R y Cooder's 'Paris\, Texas'.\n\nThe current Mirror System live set also cur rently includes some of the softer tracks from the new super well-received System 7 album ‘Flower of Life’.\n\n“Neither nostalgia nor reinvent ion\, this is a reaffirmation and a stunning return.” Prog Magazine\n\nm irrorsystem.bandcamp.com\n\nfacebook.com/Mirrorsystem\n\nhttps://www.youtu be.com/watch?v=wmbWmQVYG8Q\n\nhttps://youtu.be/xRvDGwB86ls?si=1iroreKsEEJM dDi5\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtN8V6D-1wM\n\n \;\n\nThe GLIS SANDO GUITAR ORCHESTRA &\; THE SEVEN DRONES\n\nIn the early 80’s Daev id Allen was studying in a Tibetan mystery school in NSW in his homeland o f Australia.\n\nHe learnt of many techniques and practices in the fields o f meditation and self-awareness. It was at this time he started working mu sically with drones. Continuous pure notes. These being the major notes of the musical scale C through to B. He then realised these can have corresp ondences firstly to the chakras in the body also to the colour spectrum\, planets etc. E.g C base chakra\, connected to the Earth and the colour red . These then ascend up through the body till we reach the crown chakra\, c olour purple\, note B. By just experiencing these sounds in a receptive st ate can have the effect of balancing and healing the individual not to men tion the surrounding physical space\, emotional and mental space.\n\nIn 20 06 in Amsterdam at the Gong union weekend at the Melkweg there was the fir st physical manifestation of the Glissando Orchestra playing these seven d rones. Daevid felt it was the most important performance of the weekend. . . . .maybe it was.\n\nOriginal 7 drones glissando player and co-curator o f the orchestra\, Brian Abbot\, will be joined with fellow curator Andy Bo le\, along with Kev Hegan and Mark Huxley of <\;<\;NUKLI>\;>\;\,Pa ul Woodbine of Deviant Amps\,Gregg McKella of Paradise 9\, and Jah Buddha aka Bob Hedger.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/9VlQ3FI61co?feature=shared\n\nhttps:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQZ0SruqsqU\n\nJAH BUDDHA\n\nJah Buddha aka Bob He dger\, plays electronic music only using hardware in what is called “Daw less” i.e. not using a computer. The music varies from complete improvis ation to compositions which always contain an element of improvisation but based on predetermined sections. It goes from ambient to Berlin School to Trance\, always psychedelic and always changing.\n\njahbuddha.bandcamp.co m/\n\nSHANKARA ANDY BOLE\n\nBorn on the harsh Lancashire moorland\, His mu sical odyssey began with the resonant echoes of Greek melodies. The scent of olive groves and the azure Aegean beckoned. Andy embarked on a pilgrima ge to Greece\, seeking the wisdom of Bouzouki masters. In dimly lit Kafene io\, calloused fingers taught him the secrets. But Andy’s musical explor ations go beyond boundaries. His spontaneous compositions blend rich sonor ities\, glissandos\, and intricate melodies\, creating a unique sonic expe rience.\n\nwww.andybole.co.uk/\n\nGREGG MCKELLA BAND\n\nGregg plays clarin et\, guitar\, space FX\, and also writes and sings and has been writing so ngs since the 80’s.
