Tusk Festival


Capsule took a jaunt to Newcastle last weekend for the always brilliant Tusk Festival. Now in its third year, it’s a heady mix of noise, outer limit beats, psych and an ever expanding talks and film programme.

Highlights for us included a wide grin inducing improv set from Oren Ambarchi, Neil Campbell and Mick Flower, Jessika Kenney & Eyvind Kang, Basic House and Richard Dawson (who you can see at Bring To Light and a special Kids Gig performance next weekend) and Mark Fell’s series of sound installations at Baltic 39.

Capsule, Tusk and Bristol based Qu Junktions have formed Y Music, a consortium of UK

organisations supporting adventurous music. Expect to see Y Music activity in the future, in the meantime check out last year’s Y Music podcast.

Y Music podcast


Y Music is a consortium between a number of UK based experimental music promoters/agencies, made up of Qu Junktions (Bristol), Tusk (Newcastle) and yours truly, Capsule (Birmingham). The lovely Chris of Brumcast has skillfully put together a brilliant podcast featuring some of the artists Y Music are currently working with, either together or separately. Featuring Meg Baird, Aki Onda, Sleepy Sun and many more eclectic artists we passionately showcase.

Chris has also released the first of three Supersonic Festival podcasts, giving you a taster of some of the artists playing at the 2012 edition of the event, which just so happens to be its 10th year – how exciting.
