MYRNINEREST was formed in 2012 by David Tibet as a new Sphere for him and his friends and family to work within. David founded Current 93 - remember their mesmerizing two concerts in 2011 at the Open Circuit Pand 'Koloniale Waren' - in 1984 and has since worked with such idiosyncratic artists as Nurse With Wound, Nick Cave, Shirley Collins, Tiny Tim, Anthony, Bill Fay, Nick Blinko and Baby Dee. Also a publisher and artist, he recently had an exhibition of his paintings, Magog at the Maypole (Sex of Stars) at NYC's prestigious White Columns gallery.
MYRNINEREST's debut album "Jhonn", Uttered Babylon is a hallucinatory and harrowing work about the life and death of Coil's Jhonn Balance as seen through the eyes of his close friend and colleague David Tibet. With all music on the album composed and played by James Blackshaw, Tibet and Blackshaw are joined onstage by Current 93's violinist Aloma Ruiz Boada, Andrew Liles (electronics), and Reinier van Houdt (piano/organ).
As MYRNINEREST perform, a specially commissioned new film by Davide Pepe about Jhonn Balance - using archival material from David Tibet's own collection and photographs supplied by Jhonn's father - is projected behind them.
The ensemble made its debut performance at Antony's Meltdown Festival in London in August 2012. After Berlin and Lucern they will introduce Myrninerest "Jhonn", Uttered Babylon for the first time live in Belgium at kunstencentrum BELGIE (Hasselt) on March 23rd 2013.
