  Stephen O’Malley (b. 1974) was born in New Hampshire, USA and raised in Seattle. He eventually spent a decade in New York and presently is based in Paris.
  
  As a composer and musician he has been involved in hundreds of concerts and performances around the world over since 1993.
  
  O’Malley is a founding member of several groups including Thorr's Hammer (1993), Burning Witch (1995), Sunn O))) (1998), Khanate (2000), KTL (2005), Nazoranai (2011), ÄÄNIPÄÄ (2011) and others. He is a frequent collaborator of many outsider musicians, artists and composers in various formations, in concert and studio settings.
  
  "In so far as they may expand on the O))) principles albeit perhaps a more sculptural and angular direction; the extended solid and geometric aspects of the guitar and amplifiers, sound pressure, volume and temporal structure as ambiguous and solitary form."
  
  More information about his work is available at: www.ideologic.org/
  
  * Please note that there will be a VERY comprehensive backline and it would be wise to bring earplugs.

  Leeds and Bradfordߣs festival of pioneering, experimental and underground music, film and art makes its return in September this year. Building on the successes of last yearߣs debut - that attracted praise from The Wire and The Guardian - the festivalߣs organisers are looking to make this edition an even more exciting prospect with performances and new commissions from avant-garde guitarist Stephen OߣMalley of Seattle drone metallers Sunn O))), Leedsߣ Ashtray Navigations who celebrate their 20th anniversary, Einstürzende Neubauten and Nick Cave collaborator Blixa Bargeld, legendary anarcho-punks Zounds, Detroit hip hop group Slum Village, plus David Thomas Broughton, That Fucking Tank, Owls, Tom Hopkins & Giulia Ricci and much more.
  
  The festival will take place over a number of venues in both cities including Howard Assembly Room, Brudenell Social Club, Delius Arts and Cultural Centre, Wharf Chambers Co-operative Club, Hyde Park Picture House, The 1 in 12 Club and Victoria Gardens outside Leeds Art Gallery.
  
  Confirmed commissions exclusive to RECON include The Amorphous Orchestra's Frozen Music, an art and science collaboration using brain activity sensors to visualize the emotional states of performing musicians that will take place outside Leeds Art Gallery with support from a grant from Leeds Inspired. A grant from Arts Council England has also been awarded to support the development of new works unique to RECON 2014 including the partnering of Sheffield thirty-piece ߢanti-choirߣ Juxtavoices and Bradford Scratch Orchestra.
