L
A Love Supreme is a rewrite of John Coltrane’s album of the same name. L — the three-piece rock band that can’t help but fall apart — attempts to hold together a choir of ten. Each performer wears headphones, responding to private instructions.
Somewhere in the noise: A Love Supreme.
L are a Glasgow trio made up of vocalist/ card magician Jack Paton, guitarist Jack Mellin, and drummer Laurie Pitt. Together, they perform intense, dissociative music that combines Paton’s confrontational spoken word with Mellin & Pitt’s blistering take on metal, jazz, noise and art rock.
L are praised for their emotional live shows. Paton’s earnest vocals veer from cartoon-croon to body horror—set to the microsecond by Mellin & Pitt’s pinpoint shredding. Through explicit narratives and technical demolitions, L create a tragicomic theatre of existential pain and absurd freedom.
The Radiophrenic Workshop
The Radiophrenia team’s first in-house production, Thalassonic Dynamo takes a deep dive into the secretive and murky world of maritime engine audio clubs – where enthusiasts share and swap rare engine recordings as if they were illegal contraband. And for some the obsession goes too far…
The piece was developed over a week-long residency at WORM sound studios in Rotterdam earlier this year.
