"One moment you hear John Coltrane playing a volcano, the next you hear a string section being squeezed through a toothpaste tube" - The New York Times
"Lucas is just captivating. It's incredible how he can flip the feeling of a room upside down & sonically there’s just no other sound like his" - Zach Hill - Death Grips
"the most exciting performer I have seen in the last three years – in fact, since I first saw Iggy Pop" - Bruce Russell - WIRE magazine.
Maverick improviser Lucas Granpa Abela (aka Justice Yeldham) has been performing their signature instrument; shards of amplified glass for the past 20 years. Their singular practice spawned from within the international noise music underground, where the glass evolved from a means to create free-noise cacophonies into an oddly versatile instrument producing an organic form of outsider electronica. Abela performs the shards like a bell-less saxophone, their lips subtly transmitting micro-sonic vibrations into the pane. This signal feeds a complex modular patch producing both raw audio & control voltages, so the dynamics & frequency of their performance modulates itself within varying parallel effects chains. Mixed together they create the illusion of a ghostly accompaniment, forming dense layers of anomalous music. Their unorthodox approach has attracted the attention of some of the world’s most adventurous musicians, resulting in serendipitous collaborations with the likes of; Lou Reed, Yamatsuka Eye (Boredoms), Dave Grohl (Nirvana), Flaming Lips (Peel Session), Trey Spruance (Mr Bungle), Deerhoof, Merzbow, Chris Abrahams, Oren Ambarchi, Senyawa, Death Grips etc.
