Powers is the current incarnation of Campbell Kneale who has ping-ponged about the nether regions of interstellar sound for close to thirty earth-years aboard sonic spacecraft such as Birchville Cat Motel, Black Boned Angel, and Our Love Will Destroy the World. Known primarily as the captain of his own ship, Campbell Kneale has also collaborated and performed with some of outsider music’s most defiant and diverse experimentalists: Lee Ranaldo and Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Merzbow, Stephen O’Malley (Sunn O))), Keiji Haino, Borbetomagus, Phill Niblock, and Tony Conrad to name a few. Whereas the vast majority of Kneale's music revolves around the fastidious manipulation of the multitracking process, Powers pounds on the thin cracking ice of an ‘everything-all-at once’ mindset, performing and recording his immersive blitzkrieg ragas entirely in the moment.

RTS is the analogue soundscape project of Harry Lilley and Fraser Williams, otherwise known for playing in Te Papaioea-based noise rock band First Move. De-quantizing the minimal angularism of their ottheher project, RTS sees the duo orient themselves within opaque sonic spaces that exist near the intersection of acoustic resonance, electromagnetism and amplification. Building on shows and recording experiments over the last year, this tour will coincide with the release of their first full-length offering.

Impress is the moniker attributed to the mysterious sound-conjurations of Sam Curtis. What you hear is what you heard.
