HI GOD PEOPLE - Play To The Temple Of Depth

HGP make improvised music which draws from sources such as space rock, musique concrete, experimental electronics, and Balinese and Middle Eastern music. The band consists of Dylan Krasevac (Snawklor, Fong), Dion Nania (Panel of Judges, Golden Lifestyle Band), Greg Wadley (New Waver, Thou Gideon, Tedium, Spill label) and Julian Williams (Solids, Above Ground Pool, From The Same Mother label). These diverse backgrounds make for an unpredictable outcome. Instrumentation is sometimes guitar, bass, drums, vocals, percussion and sound effects, but diversifies frequently. Recent live shows include a performance on sine wave generators at the Planet Cafe, and another using portable keyboards at the Builders Arms. The band began playing in 1997, and released their first cd Nega the Eight-Headed Serpent on the Varispeed label in 1998. To make their new cd, HGP collected live and studio recordings over a period of two years, then spend a year chopping them up and mixing the bits together. About seven hours of material was distilled into 35 minutes of cutup / remix hell, spread over 13 tracks on the cd. The disc also contains a video, for playing on a computer. The footage is from a recent play by Julian Williams, which was performed in 2001 at a car park at the Collingwood Housing Estate. -Spill.
