Biography
Lucas "Grandpa" Abela, also known by the stage name Justice Yeldham, is an Australian noise musician. They are most famous for creating an instrument made from a diamond-shaped pane of glass, fitted with contact microphones and attached to effects pedals. During live shows, they manipulate and break the glass with their mouth, often receiving cuts in the process and leaving their face and the instrument smeared in blood. NME described their live shows as "crossing the line between music and bloodsport". Despite being classified as a noise artist, Abela sees themself as an improvisational musician in the free jazz tradition.
Channel description
Countless shows in over 45 countries during decades of relentless touring have turned maverick musician Lucas Abela and their ecstatic performances with shards of amplified glass into the stuff of legend. Their singular practice evolved from within the international noise underground, where the glass evolved from a means to create free-noise cacophonies into an incredibly versatile instrument producing an organic form of outsider electronica, which the New York Times described as "One moment you hear John Coltrane playing a volcano, the next you hear a string section being squeezed through a toothpaste tube". Played somewhat like a bellow-less reed instrument, Abela subtly vibrates their lips against the shards edges transmitting micro-sonic vibrations into the pane. This single source of audio feeds a complex modular patch of parallel effects chains that give the instrument the illusion of ghostly accompaniment that together forms dense layers of anomalous music.
