Pattern Recognition returns to ThePlough@StAnne's for another night of experimental electronics, spoken word, and improvised sound. Four live acts explore drone, radiophonics, analogue textures, and abstract narrative.

Keith Seatman delivers a richly textured set of retro-futurist electronics, psych-folk detours, and radiophonic strangeness. With releases on Castles in Space and Belbury Music, Seatman’s music has featured on BBC 6 Music and Radio 3, and continues to blur the lines between the eerie and the whimsical. His upcoming album Counting to Ten Then Back Again is due this autumn.

Bellprover, the musical project of Douglas E Powell, blends analogue synths and kosmische loops with surreal spoken word. Described by Electronic Sound as “a blissed-out William Blake in a lysergic parish garden,” Bellprover conjures echoes of John Cooper Clarke, The Fall, and Cabaret Voltaire.

SHIN is the solo project of Brighton-based Russell McAlpine. Using wood, wire, and unstable amplification, SHIN constructs improvised drone pieces rooted in texture, tone, and tactile resonance. Expect hypnotic low frequencies at high amplitude—a meditative collapse of sound.

The Burning Trestle brings an idiosyncratic approach to experimental electronics, improvising live with noise, drone, and musique concrète. Their current project explores the fictional inner world of Johannes, a 16th-century carpenter, conjuring haunting, psychogeographical audio collages.
