Syncretism

Mark McGuire is one of the central figures emerging from the American underground music scene.

An incredibly talented player and songwriter, his work both in a solo capacity and with his lauded band Emeralds places him smack bang in the heartland of a great American sonic uprising. Creating incredibly rich and deep layered guitar works, McGuire has developed an entirely unique method of live looping, creating a network on tone, melody and freeform modulation that is both breathtaking and bewildering. He's a master of his craft and comes to Brisbane for the very first time for Syncretism.

Joining Mark is one of Brisbane's finest outfits, Blank Realm. With releases on countless international labels including the much-loved Not Not Fun imprint from LA, Blank Realm are producing a very distinctive audio vision. For this show they are trying something brand new - so we wait with baited breath.

"It's music that wants to find its way into your life and do some good, and I can't think of any good reason to resist it." - Pitchfork on Mark McGuire
