[Glitch, Noise, Drone, Bastard Noise Postpop Extravaganza]
Buttress O'Kneel's headline gig in the (carpark of the) National Gallery
of Australia in 2010, as part of the legendary Digital Jam event.
At this event, which was advertised as a '4 Hour Party', Buttress did
her very best to play as little danceable music as possible,
concentrating more on destroying her classic songs, and turning pop
music into incredibly loud glitchy drones of shuddering eargasm.
Digital Jam is an underground experimental project by
digital artists projecting live video and motion graphics and mixing
sound on multiple stages. Projections by video artists including
London-based video director and illustrator Danny Sangra will dovetail
with an epic sound space and dance music by a number of DJ's including
Melbourne sound artist Buttress O’Kneel.
The event is co-presented by Studio Spice & Co.
and the National Gallery of Australia, in partnership with the
Australian Graphic Design Association ACT

Buttress O'Kneel
"The arch media manipulator… Buttress has been making mash-ups long before the term was even invented”
"A celebration and decimation of the songs of yesterday and today to form music for the ears of tomorrow.” / Clint Flicks
"Buttress O’Kneel is the P!nk of the electro-activist world, or
perhaps the Negativland of breakcore, or, perhaps even more accurately,
the Mother Theresa of bio-anarchic post-grrl underculture.” / Last.fm
"She has dedicated her life to fighting the reptilian
mind-control agenda, whether or not it actually exists.” / Alias
