Pattern Recognition is giddy with excitement to welcome Chimehours to ThePlough@StAnne's. For this exciting evening of Dark Folk/ Hauntology who better to pair with them than North Devon's very own Dark Ambient/ Violin and Plant Music duo Lichon, who played a tramendous set for us back with She The Throne and Infected Senses back in November 2025.
Chimehours is a collaboration between Beck Goldsmith and Jon Dix. The pair have previously performed in bands together and composed music for award-winning film and television. A foray into cinematic, horror-flecked contemporary-folk, exploring their love of the supernatural and the other-than-human; a hauntological music project for the dislocated present day.
Their debut album "Underneath The Earth" is a hauntological music project for the dislocated present day. Taking inspiration from Max Porter's novel "Lanny", the album digs into themes of nature, myth and community, with an edge of folk-horror.
Drones, drums and gritty guitars are juxtaposed with woodwind, strings and ethereal song. Written and produced between Derbyshire, London and Margate, the album takes musical influence from the likes of Liz Fraser, Broadcast, Beth Gibbons, Bibio and Jóhann Jóhannsson, and atmospheric cues from The Wickerman, The Fog, and Enys Men.
Chimehours raid the vaults of 70's British cinema and trad folk soundscapes to riff on contemporary anxieties and ecological yearning. The result is a collection of all things earthy, exquisite and grotesque.

Lichon is a collaboration between Anisa Arslanagic and Alex H Duncan. Their music is created with midi data collected from the environment, including field recordings and biodata. This data is accompanied by improvised responses on violin, viola, guitar and live electronics. The music created is a reflection upon and response to the landscapes and intricate patterns found in flora and fauna. It encourages a shift in how humans think, how we relate to nature and how we are connected to this earth, our home.
Anisa is a British-Bosnian violinist and violist with extensive international experience and a multidisciplinary career. She has a passion for performing and recording with artists across many genres (Beth Gibbons, Bonobo, Portico Quartet, Floating Points, Kae Tempest, Baxter Dury). Venues she has performed at include Royal Albert Hall, Later…with Jools Holland, Glastonbury Festival, Shanghai International Arts Festival and Chernobyl’s Exclusion Zone. Anisa’s string playing appears on labels such as Universal, Decca, Sony Music, PIAS, Colombia Records and Ninja Tune.
