Sun 16th / 7:30 / £6 (£4 concs) on the door or Offload Festival Pass

OFFLOAD SYSTEMS FOR SURVIVAL is the UK's first interdisciplinary network media and systems arts event on nature, sustainability and ecology.
Happening across Bristol from 13-16 Sept 2007, outdoors and at various venues (Spike Island, Watershed, Pro-Catherdral, CREATE and Cube), OFFLOAD brings together international, national and local artists and
practitioners interested in creating socially engaged work that use new and existing media to address the core themes of 'Trade, Network and Nomads' and 'Health, Wealth and Play'.

Join us tonight for the OFFLOAD closing party. Focus your
ears as Bristol based sound artists Jem Noble, Matt Davies and Will Plowman invite the audience to re-examine their way of listening, presenting their
reinterpretations of familiar and unfamiliar sound-worlds. Oxford based 'Umbrellaspokes' present material drawn from the history of sound recording, including Cameroonian water-drumming and gamelan music buried underneath the flakes of disc-cutting distortions. The
evening closes with an improvisation from Will Plowman, combining sounds recorded on mobile phones distorted through guitar pedals and other lo-fi analogue equipment, plus special guest DJs.

OFFLOAD festival passes (£15 / £12 concs) and day tickets (£6 / £4 concs) available from Watershed Box Office. Tickets for Cube Closing Party will also be available on the Cube door. More information at http://offloadfestival.org.
