Tectonics 2024 Artist Profile
Euan Currie
Euan Currie is based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Since cutting his teeth in the early noughties with the group Muscletusk - various described as “sludge noise auteurs” (Neil Cooper) and a “psychedelic clatter team’s leatherboy tape-dirt party” (Giant Tank) - he has recorded, performed and collaborated widely: as part of the sound poetry duo Marvo Men with Ben Knight, and Brittle Hammer Trio with Fritz Welch and Ali Robertson (Usurper, Off Brand), as well as taking his solo sound collage and electronics project - Dead Labour Process - across Europe, Canada and Japan.
For Tectonics 2024, Marlo De Lara and Euan Currie present a piece of live improvisation drawing on voices, electronics and field recordings
Marlo and Euan
Baltimore-born Marlo De Lara works within the realms of sound performance, visual distraction and film. Previously under the moniker ‘marlo eggplant’, their work aims to blur the definitions of the (un)intentional and the myth of permanence. Edinburgh-based Euan Currie cut his teeth in the early noughties with the group Muscletusk, described as a “psychedelic clatter team’s leatherboy tape-dirt party” (Giant Tank). More recently, he’s taken his solo sound collage and electronics project - Dead Labour Process – across Europe, Canada and Japan. Their live improvisation will draw on voices, electronics and field recordings. Expect an exploration of the miniscule properties of sound blown to senseless proportions, a sonic palette of unknown origins bonded in wordless dialogue across cluttered tables.
