from Tactics Faculty (part 1), released April 8, 2024
Bartholomew (or Chris to his friends) makes experimental electronic music with a cinematic tinge - you might file him alongside Hannah Peel, Tim Hecker or Ben Frost. Bartholomew’s live shows combine radical re-interpretations of his music with sonic exploration and improvisation - in one moment he might be sampling a frying pan into melody or looping the sounds of the magnetic waves surrounding him, before deftly integrating them into a live remix of one of his tracks.
Like so many, the COVID Pandemic heralded a massive change for Bartholomew. Upping sticks from South London after studying at Goldsmiths University, he
relocated to Newcastle - a city he’d fallen in love with in his previous
life as a theatre composer. It wasn’t long before he was fully
immersed in Newcastle’s music scene, starting collaborations and building relationships. The last few months have seen him play at the
Lit & Phil, The Cumberland Arms and Bobiks for the Newcastle Festival of Jazz and Improvised Music.
2023 was a big year with Moorbound being released on Wormhole Worlds alongside a full band album launch. A few months later was Dresden Heist, a
collaborative album with writer and anti-guitarist Ian Cusack. In 2024, Bartholomew’s next album - Subterranea will be dropping on one of the UK’s best regarded electronica labels with a string of live shows and collaborations including a new commission from Auntie Joy’s for the Holy Cross Church in Ryton.
