The following is an excerpt of a live review by Sam Hobson for Timeoff issue 22nd June 2011:
"Opening act The Scrapes, tonight succeed in conjuring the very immediate sense that we're in for something completely different. Comprised of only two guys, one with an electric violin, the other, with what looks to be a giant, cello-bowed homemade guitar, strike up a yawning, multi-tonal drone; the shifting, tidal foundation for what's to be an immense, 30-minute epic. Their sound, at first, is seemingly without structure; just a dense, impressionistic wall of sound, from which subtle inflections and overlaps build, maddening, and filled with indecipherable flecks of movement, like white noise. Building a crescendo steeped in ache, they set an incredibly high bar for the following acts."
Nice. That was Deep C Exploration at Hangar Beetle, 18 June, he speaks of. We will be doing something similar tomorrow night at Ten10. Perhaps next time we'll do a piece called "A Mining"....
