High Density Gathering is a joint collaboration between Music to Come, Mistomame, and ARSIDER, bringing together two cross-sections from the Bristol and Turin music communities for a week-long shared residency. Over the first four days, artists from both cities collaborated at ASILE and Povera studio spaces.
With time as a constraint and multiple creative practices as an advantage, the aim is to foster deep connections and produce new music—merging diverse sonic languages and artistic approaches through writing and improvisation sessions. Grounded in shared visions and intent,the recorded material will be co-released in 2025.
The residency culminated in two live events as part of Radio Blackout’s three-day autumn festival, Ottobre Peso.
Participating artists: Arsider (IT - glitch / circuit-bent improv.), BKV Cadavre (UK - DJ), guest (UK - audiovisual / DIY instrumentation), Harrga (UK - industrial / experimental), Jeffrey Lee Hearse (UK - croonig) Kinlaw & Franco Franco (UK - industrial rap), Lengling + Valeria Miracapillo (IT - improv. electronics), Non Materia (IT - coding), NOT399093 (IT - smarmellocore / wobbling life), Ojoo (BE - DJ), Ossia (UK - electronic dub), Rico + Mrs Bhutan (IT - Nintendo DS rap)
