Aerosol Light Textures enhance rooms of
perception with pathes of light. Shining vectors nestle to people, nature
and buildings. Well known things are experienced in new ways by
pattern-textures; an interactive room of sensuous experience arises. In
times of hectically rushing digital picture-floods the analogue
light-illumination generates a repetitive contrasting concept that relaxedly
invites the beholder to stay and wonder. Aerosol Light |

rauschgiftengelloops ….Monotone, spherical infinite loops and drones are created whenever a pick-up arm runs into a drug angel…… …. With their constant yet inconstant repetitions, the loops serve as an allegory of human existence, within which each person must master limited parameters…. "The rauschgiftengelloops are created from moment to moment. The record player becomes the artist's instrument. He plays records, tries out the grooves, paralyzes time and turns it back on. And then there are the wonderful rotating angels, conveyed heavenward: an image for the gods." (Dr. Jörg Daur, art historian and freelance curator, Museum Wiesbaden) Brandstifter |
rauschgiftengelloops ..... Immer, wenn ein Tonarm am Kleid eines Rauschgiftengels angelangt ist, entstehen monotone, sphärische Endlos- Loops und Drones.... .... Die Loops stehen mit ihren ständigen aber unbeständigen Wiederholungen als Allegorie für die menschliche Existenz, innerhalb derer der Mensch ebenfalls die limitierten Parameter meistern muss.. "Die rauschgiftengelloops entstehen im Augenblick, der Plattenteller wird zum Instrument des Künstlers. Er spielt und probiert die Rillen, lähmt die Zeit und treibt sie wieder an. Dazu drehen sich wunderbare Engel, in den Himmel entrückt: ein Bild für die Götter." (Dr. Jörg Daur, art historian and freelance curator, Museum Wiesbaden) |

Neben elektronischen verwendet die Band auch akustische Instrumente. In den Geschichten von ::OT:: OBERER TOTPUNKT geht es um die Diskrepanz zwischen der äußeren und der inneren Wirklichkeit, um Liebe, die so verzehrend ist, dass sie keine Kompromisse mehr duldet. Es geht um Furcht, um Maßlosigkeit und den Konsum von Menschen, um Sinnentleertheit und den Verlust von Idealen. Das traumatische Geburtserlebnis und das Sterben, das Leben zwischen Sinnsuche, Isolation und Scheitern, der Tod, der sich nähert. Und eine Wiederauferstehung, die aus der Umwertung aller Werte resultiert, um das Unerträgliche erträglich zu machen. | ||||||||||||

Psykisk Tortur We got expelled from every venue ! |

"Psykisk Tortur" was founded in 1984
in Bodø, Norway by Lars "Skjit-Lars" Nicolaysen and Tore
"NXP" Nilsen (later Stemland). Their improvised music was oriented
around metal percussion, concrete mixer and drills : they got expelled from
every venue in the area because of their music and their performances ! It
would take more than 20 years before they re-entered the stage again at the
Nødutgang Festivalen in Bodø 2006, this time as a trio with Ronny Wærnes.
Lars and Ronny continued as a duo, and their sound, still based around metal
percussion, have expanded with drums and electronic noise, amongst other
things. This duo has now started recording for a new CD that will be
released in connection with Psykisk Tortur's performance at the Avantgarde
Festival in Schiphorst 2012. Psykisk Tortur |
"Psykisk Tortur" ble dannet i 1984 i Bodø, Norge av duoen Lars "Skjit-Lars" Nicolaysen og Tore "NXP" Nilsen (senere Stemland). Deres improviserte musikk var orientert rundt metall perkusjon, sement blander og drill:..de var på det tidspunkt nektet adgang på alle lokale spillesteder pga musikken og deres sceneshow. Det skulle ta over 20 år før de sto på en scene igjen...Nødutgang Festivalen i Bodø 2006, , denne gangen utvidet til trio med Ronny Wærnes. Lars og Ronny fortsatte som duo, og lydbildet, fortsatt dominert av metall perkusjon, har ekspandert med bl.a. trommer og elektronisk støy. Denne duoen har påbegynt innspillingen av en ny CD som vill bli utgitt i forbindelse med Psykisk Torturs konsert på Avantgarde Festivalen i Schiphorst 2012. | ||||||||||||

Stadtfischflex feat. Taikotribe and Toys´r´Noise |
|||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||
|
For the avantgarde festival 2012 Uwe Bastiansen
came up with something special again. The main principle of "stadtfisch
and the flexible orchestra" is to integrate new musicians regularly.
Accordingly, this year's "flexible orchestra" consists of Hamburg
artist Irina Frederich, "Taikotribe", who add japanese Taiko drums
to the taifun and "Toys´r´Noise" from France,who, as their name reveals, deconstruct everything that develops in these interpretations. The principle of the last album has been described by the phrase "Hear tracks not songs!". Loops and toys collide with guitars, drums, tapes, sounds, percussion and bass. Monotony is being transformed into witchcraft by weird timbres and arrangements. Expect visual surprises! "Welcome home. it's me myself. Opus and cynicism in the third person. The hub of all of life's cycles. Continuous, seemingly mysterious, yet simply there. Presence. Just against." Stadtfischflex |
Fuer das Avantgardefestival 2012
hat sich Uwe Bastiansen wieder etwas besonderes ausgedacht. Gehoert es zum
Grundprinzip von "stadtfisch and the flexible orchestra", immer
wieder andere Musiker in dieses Orchester einzugliedern, so besteht das
diesjaehrige "flexible orchestra" aus "der Hamburger
Kuenstlerin Irina Frederich, "Taikotribe", die japanisches
Taiko-Trommeln ins Gewitter einbringen sowie "Toys´r´Noise" aus
Frankreich, die, wie der Name schon zu erkennen gibt, alles, was sich in
diesen Interpretationen entwickelt, wieder auseinander dividiert. Das
Prinzip der letzten Veroeffentlichung wurde umschrieben mit den Worten
"Zu Hören gibt es Stücke, keine Songs!". Loops und Toys
kollidieren mit Gitarren, Schlagzeug, Tapes, Sounds, Percussion und Bass.
Monotonie verwandelt sich durch seltsame Klänge und Arrangements in eine
zauberhafte Stimmung. Wie selbstvertändlich ist auch mit visuellen
Überraschungen zu rechnen. "Willkommen daheim, ich bin es selbst. Opus und Zynismus in dritter Person. Der Nabel aller Lebenszyklen. Kontinuierlich, scheinbar mysteriös und doch einfach nur zugegen. Gegenwart. Eben gegen." |

Tellavision something you may believe in |

Tellavision turns abstract occurrences into
sound. Infatuated with colours and spirit, it's an elusive affair: Lo-fi
attitude, movement and depth walk side by side, approaching in one moment,
but they might be leaving as soon as you think. The admiration for
timelessness that is captured for a brief moment. No present, no fixed state
or version. It's not an arty farty experiment, instead you get something you may believe in. Tellavision |

The Ape Nothing But An Underapement |

Sebastian Nagel and Johann Scheerer find
themselves coming together more and more frequently to try out new effects
equipment, which, between the two of them, has become a rather large pile
(www.waitingforthesoundorsomeonelikehim.com). Nagel writes the music, Tex
and Tim Schierenbeck do the drumming, Scheerer sings and produces. And it
sounds like :-Nothing But An Underapement- Feel The Ape Build Sentient Sound
Blessed are The Ape, for theirs are heavenly tunes. Shamelessly beautiful
indeed are the tunes they play. Who said that melodies were only for
sentimental fools? Well, they were wrong. They hadn't yet heard about The
Ape. For not only won't The Ape be fooled into believing feeling was
foolish. The Ape also know a thing or two about what melodies can do. There
is more to the melody than just the tune. The Ape |
There is structure, there is rhythm, there is architecture. The Ape's melody lines are buildings. Buildings that moves. Like a ship. You know, those ships. The ones that make you feel like half of a city floats by when you see them, containers stacked on their decks like coloured boxes upon boxes. Imagine the boxes to be sounds, each sound with its own colour, the colours indicating that they come from different places and that it took them some time to travel here. There is time built into every note that The Ape play. You can hear and tell that it took time to build each sound and that each sound takes its own time to travel from a string through the airwaves to your ear, covering the distance from the heart of The Ape to yours. | ||||||||||||

electronic sound sources unfold through multi-layered sonic textures
incorporating free improvisation, noise structures and psychedelic
soundclouds. The music is characterized by stochastic fluidity and immediate
transitions, unstable acoustic systems and sound economy. Band members:
András Wahorn (saxes, flute, pocket trumpet, voice), Zsolt Sorés Ahad
(viola, home-mades, synths, circuit bent toys, selected percussion, tapes,
effects etc.), Oli Mayne / Zoltán Ko (vibraphone, analog synth, effects
etc.). Noise Flowers |
A Noise Flowers együttes
2012-ben alakult Budapesten. A trió metazenéjében (ahogyan ezt a
kifejezést Eddie Prévost az AMM együttesbol megalkotta) az akusztikus és
elektronikus hangforrások organikus kapcsolatából kibomló improvizációk, zörejstruktúrák, pszichedelikus hangfelhok többszintu zenei egységgé állnak össze. Zenéjükre a sztochasztikus folyékonyság és a hirtelen átmenetek, az instabil akusztikus rendszerek és a hangökonómia jellemzo. A zenekar tagjai: Wahorn András (szaxofonok, fuvola, zsebtrombita, hang), Sorés Zsolt Ahad (mélyhegedu, egyedi készítésu hangszerek, szintetizátorok, áramkör-átalakított játékok, válogatott ütohangszerek, hangszalagok, effektek stb.) és Oli Mayne / Ko Zoltán (vibrafon, analóg szintetizátor, effektek etc.). |

As for 1976 , Thomas Zunk , now based in Berlin,
has been performing improvised music, experimentalmusic and music from outer
parts of Europe. He plays woodwinds, percussions and various synthesizers
and electronic devices. Since late 2007 he concentrates on playing the Theremin, the very first electronic instrument , invented in 1919 by Russian radio engineer Lev Termen (Leon Theremin). It is the only instrument that is played without being touched. Zunk will play a self-organized solo concert of improvised music in the Annexe. |
Thomas Zunk aus Berlin ist seit 1976 als Musiker mit experimenteller, improvisierter und außereuropäischer Musik auf der Bühne und spielt eine Vielzahl von Instrumenten. Seit Ende 2007 konzentriert er sich auf das Theremin, das älteste elektronische Musikinstrument der Welt und der Vorläufer aller Synthesizer, erfunden 1919 von dem russischen Radioingenieur Lev Termen (Leon Theremin). Es ist das einzige Musikinstrument das gespielt wird, ohne es zu berühren. Zunk wird ein selbstorganisiertes Solokonzert mit improvisierter Musik im Annexe spielen. | ||||||||||||

,,Branded as a woman, no matter if I wanted it
or not" Usually Tonia Reeh, also known as Monotekktoni, is experimenting with electronic sounds, but her latest creative work is different . Now she is concentrating on her voice and the piano. Her vocals are metaphoric, paired with her piano playing she seems to invite the audience to a journey out of the reality in to a bar where a drunken dromedary is singing it songs. Tonia Reeh |
Normalerweise experimentiert Tonia Reeh, auch bekannt als Monotekktoni, mit elektronischen Sounds, doch ihr neustes kreatives Schaffen konzentriert sich ganz auf sie und ihr Piano. Ihr Klavierspiel erzeugt einen Klangteppich auf dem man, geleitet von ihren Texten, eintauchen kann in ihre satirische Welt, in der man dem betrunken Dromedar beim Singen in der Bar lauschen kann. | ||||||||||||

Tumorchester: Background
Tumorchester started out in Hamburg, in 1988. The name was, at first, a
working title, but has been used by its members until today. There have been
some line-up changes; most original members are still on board to this day.
Experimentation has been a constant, which explains a certain difficulty in
categorizing the music. Our procedure is to develop the structure of a piece
through collective improvisation. Tumorchester has had the chance to perform
in the most varied locations in the recent past. Some highlights were
Amsterdam, Spain, and the Czech Republic. A number of releases have trickled
out in the meantime. The current line-up is Oliver Eberhardt (sax), Thorsten
Hoppe (violin), Thomas Pfeuti (drums), Rahel Puffert (violin), and Kai
Seemann (bass). Releases "Autohimmelfahrt" - Debut-LP
"Nothing hurt as played" - Studioimprovisations "Feng Shui
Katastrophen" - live via FSK radio "Partched" -
Tumorchester/Uri Geller Split-Single on Fidel Bastro Records 2011 saw the
release of a double-CD without label or distributor: "Melodien für
Selbstabholer" (with, however, the bonus of custom artwork and
packaging) Tumorchester |

(Szene Hamburg, Feb. 2004) "Aber die USA haben derzeit auch Bands wie Black Dice, Lightning Bolt und Animal Collective, also wirklich heißen Free-Form-Noise-Stoff, zu dem einem partout kein deutsches Pendant einfällt … nun ja, mit Ausnahme - in Ansätzen - vielleicht dieser sechsköpfigen Band aus Hamburg, die sich bewusst Kollektiv nennt und auch danach klingt. Wer Schubladen will, der kann sie kriegen: Erwähnte Minus Delta T und sehr viel Fluxus-Geknarze, Freejazz mit Rockanbindung im Cassiber-Stil und ein Schuss Frühindustrial. Jaulende Geigen, zischende Electronics und teilnahmslos klackernde Percussions brauen sich unheilvoll, aber erquickend lebhaft zusammen." (Testcard Nr. 13) | ||||||||||||

UnicaZürn emerged from the
belly of a live-improv' beast called The Amal Gamal Ensemble,... free
improvisations then burnished and restructured with intensive studio
sculpting. "TEMPORAL BENDS", the first UnicaZürn album (uZu MUSIC
001), ... is a shifting, unpredictable mood-kaleidoscope for analogue
synthesizers, saxophones, voices and treated guitars : "...like Jacques
Cousteau meets HP Lovecraft twenty thousand leagues under the sea." -
FREQ Magazine. During the 1980s Knight was guitarist and co-songwriter with
highly influential art-pop maverick DANIELLE DAX, and contributed
wall-of-rock guitars to the malign poetry of KARL BLAKE in SHOCK HEADED
PETERS. He also works as ARKKON, a solo project concentrating on brooding
electro-minimalist music. Thrower's credits include eight years in COIL,
with whom he recorded the seminal albums "Scatology" , "Horse
Rotorvator" and "Love's Secret Domain". He is currently one
half of electro-psychedelic duo CYCLOBE, with OSSIAN BROWN. His solo credits
include original electronic movie scores for "Hell's Ground "
(2007) and "Down Terrace" (2009). UnicaZürn |

WAT SUN A mix between Discoverer and Jazzman |
|||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||
|
Right from the very start, Wat
Sun dealt with three issues: - What would be the sound of our band ? we
choosed the jazz-quartet sound, where each instrument keeps its traditionnal
function in the music. - What would be our musical, political, literary
references ? We gain our influences in jazz, european improvised music, or
comtemporary music,always trying to relate to our own time. How would our
band operate ? We leave plenty of space for improvisation and develop our
music around simple themes , but make sure that the tempi, the interpreters,
and the “moments” or phases, remain unpredictable. However, all this
answers are not final; we keep on searching, and we’ll propose new ones at
the Avantgarde Festival 2012. ( Wat Sun)
WAT SUN| |
A l’origine de Wat Sun, trois préoccupations
principales : - Quel serait le son de ce groupe ?C’est le son d’un quartet de jazz que nous avons choisi, où chaque instrument tient dans le son sa place traditionnelle. - Quelles seraient ses références musicales, littéraires, politiques ? Nous puisons nos influences dans le jazz, la musique improvisée, ou la musique contemporaine, en s’efforçant de toujours être inscrits dans notre époque. - Quel serait son mode de fonctionnement ? Nous laissons une grande place à l’improvisation et développons notre musique autour de mélodies simples, dont ni les tempis, ni les interprètes, ni les moments ne sont prévus. Mais ces réponses ne sont pas définitives, nous sommes en constante recherche, et nous en donnerons de nouvelles à l’occasion de l’Avantgarde Festival 2012 . (Wat Sun) |

The
Pig Organ Louis XI had a pig organ. The Abbe of Beigne built it for him. They said it was crazy to build a pig organ. It couldn't be done, but that's just what he did. The pigs in a row / pressing the key / poking the pig / making it squeal A pig and a poke, a comical treat. An organ, no joke. A musical feat. Poking the pig / making it squeal. That's how it's played. This thing was real. A keyboard, atop the pigs were secured. Depress a key and guess what you heard? The squeal of a pig, picked for a note! A glorious chorus of swine being poked. A pig in a poke. Poking a pig. Believe it or not, that's what he did. written and performed by Mark Givens for Wckr Spgt MultiMediums, especially for the Avantgarde Festival, 2012 Wckr Spgt |
