Holdings - 492 Bell Street Pascoe Vale South


View Larger Map
If you are coming by car there is no parking on Bell Street, but you should be able to find some in York Street which is just around the corner. The last stop on the 55 tram at Bell Street will get you nearby. Holdings is about a 5 block walk west from there. If you can get to Bell or Coburg Station the 513 bus will take you pretty much across the road. Just ask to get off before Reynolds Parade. Holdings is across the road from a 7-Eleven (which is on the corner of Reynolds and Bell) if you need a landmark.

Other: Metaphysical World Pieces #1 by Metaphysical Circuits

Metaphysical World Pieces #1 is a mostly Trans-Atlantic compilation put together by the folks at Metaphysical Circuits. 20 tracks of electronic kosmische, weirdo pop, ambient drone, leftfield techno and other oddities. Australia's representation is the track 'Василий Архипов' from Decent Therapy (a loose electronic project of Sabbatical co-founder Markus Cook). The compilation is digital download only and in the modern 'pay what you feel' price range. Below is a small selection of tracks to hopefully entice you into the late night exploration this effort deserves.

Other: Jonathon Nokes 'Convulsions'

Dapper Melbourne sound artist Jonathon Nokes in his own words sends too much time in MRI machines. Below is a fine piece of modular manipulation inspired by this medical diagnostic procedure. Make sure to strap on some headphones on to fully experience it. Please also remove any jewellry and credit cards and inform your technician of any metal implants.

Other: Refund 'Hill' & 'Gem'

Refund is Melbourne electronic musician/artist Matt Refund. Seems Matt has been recording a bit of late and has served up some goodness via Soundcloud. Breakcore? Noise? IDM? Modular Synth Worship? We'll leave that up to you.

Documentation: Pewter Snake Necklace - 'Truly Missed Opportunities'

Quasi studio recording of modular audio and video patch used for Sabbatical co-founder Markus Cook's Pewter Snake Necklace performance at Make It Up Club on the 30th of July.

Other: Moffarfarrah on Whiteness and Pinkness

One of Sabbatical's early releases (Little More - SBBTCL002) was of Melbourne's Christopher L G Hill's vocal based project 'Moffarfarrah' (and its myriad of various spellings). This project has a new C45 release on the Whiteness and Pinkness label entitled Primo. With a tip to the hat to the 90's Compact Disc fad of 'secret tracks', this cassette release revives this gimmick in the analogue format with these two tracks. Sorry if we just ruined it for you.

For those who missed out on the Sabbatical release here is a taste from one of its 76 tracks.

Other: Von Einem on Mazurka Editions

2 tracks from Sabbatical co-founder Mark Groves' frightening Von Einem project released by Mazurka Editions.
