Going In
Going In with Keith Fullerton Whitman, Nhyne, Camille Altay, Kensho at Opus 40
356 George Sickle Road
all ages, 5p-9p
$20 advance, $30 day of show
Going In is a sub-label of The Bunker New York, dedicated to long-form musical compositions geared towards healing, meditation, plant medicine ceremonies, psychedelic therapy, yoga, or simply spacing out and going inside yourself. Going In has presented two 48+ hour online streaming events and released 22 albums since its inception 3 years ago. This evening we present our first in person outdoor event at Opus 40, a gorgeous sculpture park in Saugerties, NY. This is a makeup event for our June 24 event, which was postponed by rain.
This music is best experienced horizontally, please bring pads, mats, pillows & blankets to make yourself comfortable. Lay down and be counted! We strongly encourage no talking during performances at our events.
Keith Fullerton Whitman’s body of work is vast. Since the early ’90s, the Brooklyn-based electronic musician has recorded a wealth of albums for labels like Kranky, Editions Mego, Planet µ and PAN; taken to the stage at venues as diverse as the Labyrinth festival and the Columbia University Computer Music Center; collaborated with everyone from Thurston Morre to Terry Riley; and made music from across the spectrum of electronic experimentation. Keith has mastered every release on Going In, and has a forthcoming piece we will be releasing before this event. We have never heard Keith do the same thing twice, and he plays to his environment, so it will be interesting to see what he comes up with at Opus 40.
Nyhne is a bloodstained poem in an ornate frame. It is the sonic moniker of Nancy Kim, a queer Korean-American interdisciplinary artist, whose work navigates across sculpture, sound, design, and architecture. Their projects consider both time and “waste” as physical materials that transmute into portals to hidden stories. As Nyhne, their music explores feedback, drone, experimental noise, found sounds, ritual, and spoken word, often forming textural landscapes for catharsis.
Camille Altay was born in Chicago, resides in Climax, NY, and though identified primarily as a painter, found a spiritual home in raves and underground music in the late 90s. In a former life, the artist was employed by Universal Studios and traveled extensively painting facades for theme parks across the US and Asia. These worlds collide into a deeply material practice which seeks proof of the real. Camille’s band Birds of Prey has released music on Kathexis and Mysteries of the Deep. Camille created the very cool sound reactive sculpture at our Basilica Hudson event and just released an album on Going In.
We don’t tolerate the kinds of behaviors that tell already marginalized people that they aren’t welcome or that their bodies aren’t safe. Consensual touch, respect for personal space, and being gentle with others’ mental states are all ways that members of our community express that collective care and safety are necessary for a good event. We don’t permit leering, commenting about others’ bodies, following people, taking photos or videos without consent, or other types of disrespectful or dehumanizing behavior – and being intoxicated enough that you can’t engage with these agreements is no excuse for harmful behavior and won’t be tolerated at our events. We suggest familiarizing yourself with our values and code of conduct before attending this event:

Join us at e-flux on Friday, October 7 at 7pm for the 20th anniversary of the album Playthroughs, featuring a live music performance by Keith Fullerton Whitman and a Q&A with Whitman moderated by writer and musician Sasha Frere-Jones. Playthroughs was released in October 2002 on the label Kranky to much critical acclaim from Pitchfork and other publications—and to this day remains one of Whitman's most beloved albums. It consists of drone-heavy ambient music composed entirely using processed guitar sounds (acoustic and electric). The album follows in the footsteps of Steve Reich and other musicians within the contemporary classical umbrella.
“It's true that much of Playthroughs seems familiar on the surface, but I don't think it an exaggeration to say that this record essentially perfects this particular style of music. It's an album of meticulous balance, Zen focus, and tiny gestures that carry great force, where each individual piece of sound is carefully placed to maximize impact.” (Mark Richardson, Pitchfork, October 22, 2002).
Keith Fullerton Whitman is an electronic music composer based in Brooklyn. He is currently in the midst of developing a suite of all-encompassing 21st-century computer music solutions largely designed for real-time engagement, as well as performing contemporary revisions of his Redactions, Generators, and Playthroughs frameworks. Whitman has released dozens of albums in his own name and as Hrvatski on labels such as Pan, Planet Mu, and Root Strata. In 2019, Whitman collaborated with Tarek Atoui, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, C. Spencer Yeh, C. Lavender, Chuck Bettis, and Victoria Shen on their performances at Kurimanzutto and The Guggenheim Museum (New York). Whitman has toured extensively throughout his career and performed at Performa Biennial (New York), Frequency Festival (Chicago), NEXT (Bratislava), and Silent Night (Prague) among other places.
e-flux music is curated by Sanna Almajedi.

Frequency Festival 2020
Oren Ambarchi / crys cole
February 24 - 8:30 PM - Constellation (3111 N. Western Ave.)
Tickets: $17 advance/$20 door
Over the course of two decades the music of composer and multi-instrumentalist Oren Ambarchi has demonstrated an inexorable sense of development and exploration. The Australian native has enhanced his sublime guitar playing with electronics and signal processing, applying his sound-making to countless, evolving practices, drawing upon traditional song-form, minimalism, free improvisation, and abstract composition in ever-shifting combinations and contexts. Ambarchi, who played the music of Alvin Lucier as a member of the Ever Present Orchestra on a Frequency Series concert in 2017, will play solo, mixing guitar and electronics.
crys cole is a Canadian sound artist working in composition, performance and sound installation. Generating subtle and imperfect sounds through haptic gestures and seemingly mundane materials, she creates texturally nuanced works that continuously retune the ear. She has ongoing collaborations with Oren Ambarchi (AU) and with James Rushford (AU) (under the name Ora Clementi, which performed a Frequency Series concert in 2015), and tonight she will perform a new solo work.
Jacob Wick with Phil Sudderberg
February 25 - 6:30 PM - Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (220 E. Chicago Ave.)
A Chicago native based in Mexico City, Jacob Wick is an improviser, writer, and artist. His work is dedicated to and informed by queer feelings and queer politics. “Playing until he physically can’t, playing outside the boundaries of the trumpet’s conventional voice, and de-naturalizing listening encounters, are all of cornerstones of Wick’s work,” says the Wire. Wick will perform solo music from his acclaimed 2019 recording Feels and play in a duo with Chicago drummer Phil Sudderberg.
Julia Eckhardt and Nate Wooley play Éliane Radigue
February 26 - 8 PM - Bond Chapel, University of Chicago (1025 E. 58th St.)
Julia Eckhardt is a musician and curator in the field of the sounding arts and at the intersection of composed and improvised music. As a performer of composed and improvised music she has collaborated extensively with composer Eliane Radigue, and worked with artists such as Phill Niblock, Pauline Oliveros, Jennifer Walshe, Rhodri Davies, Taku Sugimoto, Manfred Werder, Angharad Davies, and Lucio Capece, among others. She has been lecturing about topics such as sound, gender and public space, and is (co-)author of The Second Sound, conversation on gender and music, Grounds for Possible Music, The Middle Matter – sound as interstice, and Éliane Radigue – Intermediary Spaces/Espaces intermédiaires. In her Chicago premiere she will perform Occam IV, a piece composed for by Radigue.
New York trumpeter Nate Wooley moves easily and nonchalantly between the worlds of contemporary classical, jazz, noise, and electronic music as an interpreter, improviser, and composer. He leads several of his own projects including Battle Pieces, Columbia Icefield, and Seven Storey Mountain, while maintaining a rigorous solo practice and collaborating with a wide array of artists including Ken Vandermark, Ashley Fure, Anthony Braxton, Yoshi Wada, Matthew Shipp, and Annea Lockwood (whose work he performs on Friday night’s portrait concert at Constellation). He played the music of Radigue with clarinetist Carol Robinson on a Frequency Series concert in 2014, and tonight he’ll play the composer’s Occam X.
Julia Eckhardt’s appearance in Chicago is presented in partnership with the Renaissance Society and in cooperation with Goethe Institut Chicago.
Charles Curtis plays
Éliane Radigue
February 27- 7 PM - Fullerton Hall, Art Institute of Chicago (111 S. Michigan Ave.)
Tickets: $10/$5 for AIC members
Called by ArtForum "one of the great cellists" as well as "spellbinding and minimal," Charles Curtis has woven a unique career through the worlds of classical performance and musical experimentation. For more than twenty years Curtis has been closely associated with the legendary avant garde composer La Monte Young. As soloist and as director of Young's Theatre of Eternal Music String Ensemble, Curtis has participated in more performances and premieres of Young's music than any other musician. French composer Éliane Radigue created her very first work for a purely acoustic instrument for Curtis, the hour-long solo "Naldjorlak I," for which he will give its Chicago premiere this evening.
Annea Lockwood portrait concert with a.pe.ri.od.ic and Nate Wooley
February 28, 8:30 PM, Constellation (3111 N. Western Ave.)
Tickets: $15
Composer Annea Lockwood has been a pioneer in the world of sound art for more than five decades. Early in her career the New Zealand native explored the sonic possibilities of glass, initiating a life-long fascination with new timbres and sound sources. Her notorious Piano Transplants series created events in which non-functioning pianos were either set ablaze, submerged in water, covered in sand, or eventually buried in an English garden. She’s also created a series of studies of rivers and their attendant sound worlds, mostly recently with Sound Map of the Danube, which will be presented as an installation at Experimental Sound Studio. This evening Chicago ensemble a.pe.ri.od.ic will perform the first-ever survey of her works in Chicago, and New York trumpeter Nate Wooley will play “Becoming Air,” a work she created specifically for him.
Annea Lockwood’s appearance is made possible through a partnership with the Sound Department of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Annea Lockwood: Sound Map of the Danube
sound installation
February 29 - 2 PM - Experimental Sound Studio (5925 N. Ravenswood Ave.)
Join us for the opening reception of composer Annea Lockwood’s sound installation A Sound Map of the Danube, an aural tracing of the Danube, interleaved with the memories and reflections of its people. Lockwood will be in discussion with trumpeter Nate Wooley. The installation runs through March 29.
Annea Lockwood’s appearance is made possible through a partnership with the Sound Department of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Keith Fullerton Whitman / John McCowen
February 29 - 8:30 PM - Constellation (3111 N. Western Ave.)
Tickets: $15
Brooklyn-based electronic music artist Keith Fullerton Whitman gives his first Chicago performance in seven years, performing a new iteration of his Redactions series. The Redactions (2015-) constitute an ongoing exploration surrounding the extraction of "peaks," or "transients" from geographically & thematically relevant audio materials given a particular realization or performance; the source materials utilized are invariably derived from a conceptual layer wrapped around the geography or setting of the eventual performance, blurring the line between what is inherently acoustic and/or electronic. In its essence it is a way to improvise within the rigidity of seemingly fixed audio signals. It is exclusively a live-performance work, performed in stereo & 4-channel quad arrays & as of yet remains undocumented by a tangible commercial recording.
John McCowen is a Brooklyn-based composer and performer. His work focuses on extending the possibilities of the clarinet family. John embraces long-form drones, difference tones, and beating harmonics as a means to extrude the dimensions within - treating the clarinet as an acoustic synthesizer. In his own words he creates “polyphonic drones emitting from a single length of tube.”
Ganavya Doraiswamy & Rajna Swaminathan
March 1 - 2 PM - Claudia Cassidy Theater, Chicago Cultural Center (78 E. Washington St.)
Free
In this duo project, vocalist Ganavya Doraiswamy and percussionist Rajna Swaminathan interweave stories, prayer, and rhythm to create an enveloping, healing soundscape. Drawing on various threads of Indian music and the improvisational textures of creative music, they present a unique meditation on the alchemies of social and spiritual realms.
Ganavya Doraiswamy is a critically acclaimed vocalist, scholar, and composer who has quickly amassed an incredible breadth of contemporary works. She has been featured on various projects, notably on the Quincy Jones produced Tocororo, which hit #1 on jazz charts. Hailed as "extraordinary" (DownBeat) and "most enchanting" (NPR), Ganavya's last album, Aikyam: Onnu was described in The New York Times as “majestic . . . a thick ephemera, like smoke as dark as ink, just coming off the fire.” Rajna Swaminathan is an acclaimed mrudangam artist, composer, and scholar. In her music and research, she explores the undercurrents of rhythmic experience and emergent textures in collective improvisation. Her debut album with her ensemble RAJAS, titled Of Agency and Abstraction (Biophilia, 2019), has been described as “music of gravity and rigor… yet its overall effect is accessible and uplifting” (Wall Street Journal).
Katinka Kleijn / Julian Otis
March 1, 2020 - 8:30PM - Constellation (3111 N. Western Ave.)
Tickets: $15
Hailed as “Chicago’s first lady of the cello” by Timeout Chicago Magazine, Dutch cellist Katinka Kleijn defies today’s traditional definition of a cellist, transitioning comfortably through the styles of classical, experimental, contemporary, improvisatory, folk and progressive rock, as well as across the traditional fields of solo, chamber and orchestral performance. A member of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and International Contemporary Ensemble, she’s recently formed dynamic new collaborations with guitarist Bill MacKay and fellow cellist Lia Kohl. Tonight Kleijn premieres new work by Nathan Davis and Aliya Ultan, among others.
Julian Terrell Otis is a genre defying musician dedicated to the advancement of Black Music in America. The utilization of the operatic voice brings new perspective to the creative music, jazz, commercial, and contemporary classical worlds. Otis performed Julius Eastman’s “Prelude to the Holy Presence of Joan of Arc” on the 2018 Frequency Festival. Tonight he premieres Anthony R. Green’s “Empathy I: Diamond Reynolds,” which he calls “an opportunity to process the inner emotional life of Reynolds’ witness to the death of her boyfriend Philando Castille.”

Luc Ferrari: Stereo Spasms
“Luc Ferrari: Stereo Spasms” celebrates the French composer in what would have been his 90th year, bringing together a range of musicians to mark the U.S. publication of the book "Luc Ferrari: Complete Works" (Ecstatic Peace Library).
Luc Ferrari (1929-2005) was one of the progenitors of musique concrète and a pioneer of and resonantly idiosyncratic voice within electroacoustic music. Ferrari was an early participant in the Groupe de Musique Concrète and, with Pierre Schaeffer and François-Bernard Mâche, co-founded the Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM) in 1958. In the mid-1960s, largely unaltered environmental recordings began to work their way into his compositions, a process that culminated in the tremendously influential Presque rien No. 1 (Le Lever du jour au bord de la mer) (1970), a work whose source material was comprised exclusively of recordings made from a point overlooking a beach on the Dalmatian coast. Throughout his career, Ferrari worked in multiple forms: instrumental works, vocal music, text scores, electronic and electroacoustic music, and Hörspiele, and together with Gérard Patris he realized a series of short documentary films about musicians in rehearsal entitled Les Grands Répétitions.
The many stylistic shifts within Ferrari’s work paired with his wily, idiosyncratic aloofness from post-war music ideologies made him an especially appealing figure to younger musicians and composers, many of whom are participating in the Luc Ferrari: Stereo Spasms festival. It’s little surprise that Ferrari’s final decades were marked by encounters with musicians who knew him first from recordings but then were amazed to make the meaningful acquaintance of an ever-vital, generous, hilarious, wonderfully social artist who didn’t hesitate to throw himself into friendships and collaborative working relationships with those he recognized as kindred spirits.
“Luc Ferrari: Stereo Spasms” complements “Recherches Filmiques,” a series of Ferrari’s films at Anthology Film Archives (Nov 21-27). (http://anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/series/51707)

Out.Fest 19: Red Bull Music presents KEITH FULLERTON WHITMAN, ANDRÉ GONÇALVES, CLOTHILDE AND SIMÃO SIMÕES
Red Bull Music and OUT.FEST present new work by an extremely reputed and visionary American composer, improviser and thinker; Keith Fullerton Whitman is one of the fundamental musicians of the human and aesthetically more progressive electronics of the past two and a half decades, whichever way you look at it. He’s had work released through the great cathedrals in the category, such as Kranky, Mego or PAN, and is now preparing the release of a boxset and a new LP, his first works outside of his independent editions in some time.
Founder of the crucial distributor Mimaroglu, Whitman is beyond a melomaniac – he knows everything and then some about the history of so many types of music. This depth of knowledge gives him endless tools with which to address every type of vocabulary, structure, texture, spatialization, innovation and subversion. A complete artist, focused on sound and music.
On this very special occasion, he will be directing an ensemble of some of the most interesting figures in Portuguese electronic music, each in their own particular spheres.
André Gonçalves has been active as an artist in the field for a long time, be it through his installations, recorded music, live presentation of his automated/procedural work, or through ADDAC System, his very reputable brand of modules and synthesizers. Fluid in post-Bryars/Basinski composition, when he goes on stage with the O Carro de Fogo de Sei Miguel, he almost seems like a cosmic version of the keyboardist from Weather Report.
Clothilde is the heteronym of Sofia Mestre, who in last year's edition of OUT.FEST gave a superb concert on the Saturday afternoon at the Jazz school. Since then, she has stepped onto increasingly important stages, continuing to develop her highly progressive, narrative, melodic and harmonic version of modular synthesis.
Simão Simões is part of a brand-new generation of electronic creators, having gained visibility over the past couple of years. Brilliant in a tonne of ways, he has everything that is required plus and extra dose of future – quality of sound sources, quick reasoning in situations of composition and improvisation, notions of melody and harmony which can be pop or on the opposite end of the spectrum, depending on what’s needed. He drinks so much from so many sources that it is impossible to box him in in a short little text. Seeing is believing.
These four artists will be in a week-long residency preparing this presentation which, naturally, will be a world premiere.

Electroacoustic
Tirsdag d. 10. september
Dørene åbner kl: 19:00
Koncerten starter kl: 20:00
Pris: 120 dkk inkl. gebyr
Multisensoriske lydværker, visuals og kvadrofoniske elektroniske understrømme danner rammen om denne enestående aften, hvor to markante skikkelser inden for elektro-akustisk musik indtager ALICE. Glæd dig til at opleve Keith Fullerton Whitman og Zeno van den Broek.
Keith Fullerton Whitman
Den Brooklyn-baserede komponist og performer Keith Fullerton Whitman har været aktiv siden 90’erne, hvor han under sine studier i Music Synthesis på Berklee College of music gik ind i elektronisk musik og udforskede dens mange facetter. Gennem mere end 20 år er det blevet til en lang række udgivelser på toneangivende labels verden over samt mere end 500 koncerter og performances i små lokale punk venues såvel som på store og anerkendte musik- og kunstfestivaler. Senest har Fullerton Whitman bl.a. Gæstet GRM’s Immersion festival i Paris, MaerzMusik’s The Long Now i Berlin, og givet koncert ved Don Buchla Memorial i San Francisco, og tidligere delt scene med bl.a. Oren Ambarchi, Lawrence English, Terry Riley, Charlemagne Palestine og Deerhunter. Glæd dig til at opleve den anerkendte komponists dronende elektroniske understrømme og detaljerede ambiente værker denne aften, når han opfører dem i kvadrofonisk setup på ALICE.
Zeno van den Broek
Den hollandske København-baserede komponist og lydkunstner Zeno van den Broek udforsker i sine værker den rumlige bevidsthed igennem en multisensorisk praksis. Ved at blande medier som lyd, akustik og visuals skaber han steds- og koncept-specifikke værker, der forstærker de eksisterende visuelle og akustiske kvaliteter. I sine kompositioner udforsker Zeno van den Broek forbindelsen mellem forskellige musikalske former, strukturer og akustiske rumligheder, mens han ofte lader sig inspirere af arkitektur og matematiske og fysiske koncepter. Van den Broek har bl.a. komponeret for Non-Fiction, Gaudeamus Foundation og The Old Church of Amsterdam, og hans værker er blevet præsenteret på en lang række festivaler og venues, herunder Incubate Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, CTM Vorspiel, Gaudeamus Muziekweek, VPRO Vrije Geluiden, Sedition and TBC, Los Angeles. Glæd dig til at opleve van den Broeks rumlige, multisensoriske værker der forener lyd, akustisk og visuals.
In English:
Keith Fullerton Whitman
Keith Fullerton Whitman is a composer and performer currently based in Brooklyn. Active from the early 90’s on while working towards completing a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Synthesis at Boston’s Berklee College of Music, Keith began exploring electronic music’s many facets, yielding dozens of recordings for influential labels worldwide. Over the past 20+ years, Keith has given over 500 performances – everything from solemn held-tones to pointillist reckless-abandon – at venues ranging from “Punk” basements to some of the most celebrated European & North-American art & music festival stages, recently at the GRM’s Immersion festival in Paris, MaerzMusik’s The Long Now in Berlin, and at the Don Buchla Memorial Concerts in San Francisco, having shared the stage with icons such as Oren Ambarchi, Lawrence English, Terry Riley, Charlemagne Palestine and Deerhunter. We’re looking forward to host him at ALICE, where he will perform a quadraphonic set.
Zeno van den Broek
Zeno van den Broek is a Dutch-born, Copenhagen-based composer and artist. Van den Broek works in a multi-sensory way to research and express physical, social and acoustic notions. He utilises audiovisual means to create site and concept specific works. This trans-disciplinary method has a strong conceptual foundation, originating from a background in architecture, which enables Zeno to comprehend and reveal the richness and complexity of spatial, visceral and physical perception. He works with a characteristic artistic language based on minimalist and fundamental elements such as sine waves, lines, noise and grids. Zeno van den Broek will perform his multi-sensory works at ALICE.
Meakusma Festival
From September 6 to 8, the Meakusma Festival returns and we are delighted to present you with a first wave of confirmed artists and performers.
2019 marks the fourth edition of the Festival, as always focusing on experimental and club music alike, boasting an intimate atmosphere and a carefully curated lineup. Various venues across the Belgian city of Eupen will for that one weekend be host to the festival, proof of the fact that the Meakusma Festival has become part of the city’s DNA.
At the heart of the festival stands the Alter Schlachthof venue with its comfortable rooms and garden. The program of 2019’s festival aims at distributing all performances in such a way that the smaller rooms of the venue will have to deal with less audience traffic. There will be more simultaneous performances and an extra sound system, installed in a space previously not used. There will be concerts in a church on Saturday and Sunday. The IKOB museum will again be host to several performances during two days of the festival. Other locations are the art gallery Vorn Und Oben, the Gülcher street and the Loten Park with an installation by the Musica organization from Neerpelt focused on a participation-based experience of sound and music and a wooden installation developed in collaboration with Terraforma from Milan intent on enhancing the sounds of the installation’s environment.
The German branch of the Dublab radio station will for the fourth time run the Heuboden room over the whole weekend.
The festival will also feature many artist talks, installations, a film program, etc.
2017 marked a very gratifying first collaboration with the Brussels-based venue and record label Les Ateliers Claus. They will be back co-curating a selection of artists whose performances will be spread out over the three days of the festival. One example here is the very first collaborative concert by composer, guitarist and lecturer from New Zealand Roy Montgomery together with American musician, artist and producer Liz Harris/Grouper. Montgomery stands as one of New Zealand’s most vital underground artists, his signature sound revolving around atmosphere and the cinematic, complexly layered with echoing and droning guitar phrases. Grouper’s ethereal sound touches upon folk, contemporary classical music, renaissance music, avant-pop and early music.
Reihe-M from Cologne also returns as a curator, presenting concerts in the Friedenskirche by Kali Malone and Charlemagne Palestine. Hailed as one of the founders of minimalism alongside Philip Glass, Phil Niblock, Terry Riley and La Monte Young, Palestine prefers to define himself as a maximalist. His drones intent on making entire buildings resonate, his iconoclastic output is all about reverberation, layering and complexity.
Meakusma has struck up a collaboration with the Belgian KRAAK festival and record label. Three artists from their roster will perform at the festival, namely Köhn, Floris Vanhoof and Het Interstedelijk Harmoniumverbond.
The Meeuw Muzak label will present a joint performance by Swiss free improv musician Norbert Möslang, New Yorker and former deranged grindcore singer Luke Calzonetti and respected contemporary painter and man behind the acclaimed Wendy Gondeln project Albert Oehlen. More Meeuw action comes in the shape of a collaborative performance of 7FO and Tapes. 7FO hails from Osaka and produces meditative oceanic soundscapes creating a reflective space for himself and his audience. Tapes mixes up dub aesthetics, library music, traditional Indian instruments and all sounds psychedelic, exploring the many facets of bass music. Legendary electronic musician Felix Kubin and percussionist Hubert Zemler will, as part of the program curated by Meeuw, present their alienating and dissontant descent into the audiovisual world of science fiction classics that is Juxtalektrovision.
Ben UFO very successfully curated a night at 2018’s festival and will be back this year bringing with him John T. Gast for the night progam on Friday and Laps and Klaus for performances on the dub soundsystem in the garden on Saturday afternoon. John T. Gast’s persona is shrouded in mystery, his work firmly on the fringe of London’s experimental music scene. He has collaborated with Hype Williams and Dean Blunt and cherishes channel heavy production and performance methods.
The Tashi Wada Group is the new group of Los Angeles-based composer Tashi Wada featuring singer songwriter, composer and artist Julia Holter and percussionist and artist Corey Fogel. Reimagining forms of ancient and devotional music, psychoacoustics and non-equal tuning, their sound subtly navigates the interactions, intimacy and spaciousness between the group members. Japanese singer, songwriter and avant-pop musician Miho Hatori is primarily known as the vocalist of the New York-based band Cibo Matto. She has also worked with Gorillaz and the Beasty Boys.
Keith Fullerton Whitman’s work is informed by ambient music, drone, musique concrète and krautrock. He stands as one of the most revered composers and performers working in the field of experimental music today. Brannten Schnüre is an experimental dark folk group from Germany. Their work directs itself towards the atonal and transfers folkloric, ritual elements into the 21st century. Don The Tigermixes rumba, baroque fantasy, guabina and flamenco with musique concrète and eleborate sampling techniques into a deeply expressive and melodically exuberant musical amalgam.
Multi-instrumentalists Benjamin Finger, James Plotkin and Mia Zabelka stretch the boundaries of electronic music, ambient, psychedelia and drone. Finger’s music defies defies definition, admitting to a desire to allow everything. Plotkin was once a member of Scorn. He threads audacious sonic waters from harsh power electronics to dub-infected ambient electronica. Zabelka’s work is visceral, cerebral and sensual. The Austrian violinist, improviser and composer has opened up the traditional understanding of her instrument towards improvisation, experimental music and sound art.
Catherine Plenevaux founded the Lexi Disques label that focuses on the crossroads of experimental and pop music. She will perform together with Céline Gillain whose music uses elements of sci-fi, feminism and deviant pop. The Trio Heinz Herbert has a jazz background, but delves into their own abstraction of jazz embracing technoid club culture, art rock, industrial and ambient sound art. The members of the Blurred Music Duo are both a part of the Splitter Orchestra. The duo works with musical structures that create a blur. Improvised parts alternate with fields of pre-structured material in which digital recordings of the duo are duplicated by live performance.
It is impossible to touch upon every artist in detail. For a full overview of all confirmed artists and performers, check the artist section. More coming up, so stay tuned!
