Jam Money & Guests

  • FUTTLE Bowhouse, St Monans East Neuk of Fife United Kingdom (map)

This promises to be a really wonderful night of music, art and creativity with Jam Money and special guests, Aimee Henderson, National Bedtime and Markus Acher.

Jam Money is the shared musical vision of Kevin Cormack and Mathew Fowler. Mathew (Bons) and Kevin (Half Cousin, Harry Deerness) first began collaborating as part of the Blank Tape Spillage Fete, an ongoing collective project of art and music which focuses on the creation and perpetuation of small DIY exhibitions, related events and limited releases that celebrates the hobbyist nature of home recording.

Jam Money revolves around a passion for the simple and sometimes restrictive nature of four-track cassette recording. Using old half-broken guitars, clarinets, charity shop keyboards, toys, family heirlooms, zithers, home-made percussion, and household objects a shared dialogue appears, involving both mark making and musical mishaps, allowing the makers to be carried along as the music finds its own way.

Genre definitions melt away in Jam Money's music as ambient dissolves into lo-fi rock, noise into fragile, naive classroom melodies. Creativity beyond easy categorisation, with parallels to the home-spun worlds of Flaming Tunes, Pumice, Maher Shalal Hash Baz and World Standard.

A firm fan favourite Stephen Pastel (The Pastels & Monorail Music): "Created in question and answer form, their songs exist like little sculptures - wayward and peaceful, sometimes whirring into automatic life under the pair's combined attention."

Joined by guests Aimee Henderson, artist and long-term collaborator, National Bedtime and Markus Acher (Notwist & Spirit Fest), who all have a shared kinship of both the weird and wonderful.
