Handmade Music
Monthly experimental music night in Belfast. Short sets, time to chat, space to move. First Thursday each month!
Handmade Music
Handmade Music is a brand-new experimental music night specially curated to feature an amazing mix of well-known artists, lesser-known artists, and surprise guests! All performing music from the edges of their craft.
You’ll hear ‘never-before-heard’ music, and music that may never be heard again.
Join the Handmade Music community in-person or online on the first Thursday of each month as we create this space for experimental/improvised music to exist…and seeing what comes out the other side.
Hope to see you there!
The Line-Ups!
Thursday 6th June
Muted Summer Landscape (25-30min set approx)
Muted Summer Landscape embodies the collaborative creativity of electronic music and visual producers, Brian Robinson, and Steve Lee.
Together, they craft captivating electronic portraits that draw inspiration from the world around them. Influenced by the nuances of natural environments, they skilfully manipulate a diverse range of source materials, including audio/visual field recordings, images, melodies, and rhythms.
The result is a fusion of patterns and textures, giving rise to immersive narratives that purposefully evoke emotions and ignite the imagination.
QUB Ensemble (10-15min set approx)
QUBe members will form the house band for the Handmade Music series. QUBe is a music collective based in Belfast involving students, staff, and musicians from inside and outside Queen’s University Belfast. QUBe brings together performers from diverse artistic backgrounds and musical interests.
