Smote

Smote is an electronic act, once a solo project of Daniel Foggin, whose drone and dirge music blends traditional instruments with synthesisers and guitar. The evening takes place at Dingwalls in Camden Lock.

Smote began as a solo project of Daniel Foggin and has since grown into a fuller ensemble. Its sound combines traditional instruments, among them creaking strings, funeral drums and sombre winds, with thunderous synthesiser work and desolate guitar, shaping drone and dirge.

In this presentation, the music rests on drone and repetition, with incantations that take simple, elemental ingredients and treat them as a kind of aural sorcery, conjuring spectres and a psychic voyage into the ether, building toward revelations.

The evening is presented by Baba Yaga's Hut and takes place at Dingwalls, a concert and performance venue at Middle Yard in Camden Lock, London.
