Art for Blind, the music and art collective based in Sligo are delighted to curate and facilitate a series of events encompassing music, film and printmaking as part of their residency at The Model over Autumn/Winter 2021 to Spring 2022. The first gig in the series takes place this Saturday 11th September with the presentation of two boundary pushing acts from Ireland’s experimental underground. Arthur Itis is a pan-dimensional being from the one of the five fruitful moons orbiting the desolate planet Lukon 5. Since arriving on Earth in 2013 he has released five albums, a compilation and three EPs which has garnered support slots for Jeffrey Lewis, Mary Ocher and O Emperor. His cryptic lyrics lend themselves less to storytelling and more toward abstraction. As a result more complex mosaic-like narratives form, teetering over the listener like a sonic totem pole. Their placement and importance lies in the listener's individual connection to the meaning of each word. Layered organs and synthesizers drift over rugged rhythmic landscapes in a shimmering fog. Melodies bump and creep along like scuttling creatures along the ocean floor. “Deconstructing any number of genres and effortlessly reanimating them in his own image in a lineage that traces lines through Beefheart, Devo, Ween and R Stevie Moore…” - The Thin Air “...purveyor of sound and improvisation from the planet Lukon 5, channeling intergalactic inspiration while assuming the form of an unassuming Earthling…” - Cork Echo Ticket link in bio
