Reflow (D)

„Reflow“ ist ein junges Frankfurter Projekt, das die Grauzone zwischen improvisierter Live-Elektronik und autonom algorithmischen Prozessen auslotet. So wie viele Aspekte unserer Umwelt weder unberührte Natur, noch vollständig durch den Menschen kontrollierbar sind, geht es beim sich Ereignen von Musik um Wechselwirkungen zwischen Mensch und Umwelt, die von der Herstellung der Instrumente bis zur Klangwerdung im Konzert gehen. “Reflow” wurde von dem in Frankfurt lebenden Konstrukteur elektronischer Instrumente und Komponisten Rolf Wöhrmann ins Leben gerufen.

trabouliste & Wilke (D)

trabouliste lässt mit seinen experimentell orientierten Patches den Geist der frühen elektronischen Musik wiederauferstehen. Es geht ihm weniger darum, das Vorhandene zu imitieren, als neue Klang- bzw. Hörräume zu erforschen und zu schaffen. Neben reinen (vor allen Dingen iOS-basierten) Software-Synthesizern, nutzt er auch elektronische Hardware zur Klangerzeugung. Seit Februar 2012 widmet er sich zudem dem Cello-Spiel.

Frank Wilke spielt Trompete, Posaune, Horn und beschäftigt sich auch mit elektronischer Klangerzeugung. Als wichtige musikalische Einflüsse wären zu nennen: Manfred Schoof, Albert Mangelsdorf, Bill Dixon,  Alexander v. Schlippenbach, Tony Oxley, John Cage und Mauricio Kagel. Dementsprechend bewegt sich sein musikalisches Schaffen zwischen Free Jazz, Neuer Musik und experimenteller Musik. Seit 2009 spielt er in der free Jazz Combo freivomhieb und nimmt seit 2012 an internationalen musikalischen Kollaborationen Teil.

Frank Wilke und trabouliste arbeiten seit Ende 2013 an gemeinsamen musikalischen Projekten und haben die LP Landschaftspark auf dem Online-Label PETROGLYPH MUSIC sowie die EP candide mit Auszügen aus ihrem letzten Konzert bei Phonophon veröffentlicht.

Les Croisières Dolori (F/BE)

Two girls with tapping shoes on amplified metal boards, a trombonist on his bed of rototoms and various drums, some yogurt songs on foggy layers of synthetiser, an eastern-nowave-infused blues with its analogical bass. The Croisières Dolori, a trip in a flat-bottom barque, with a stop at the
„deckchair“ bar, a pagan party lost somewhere in the meanders of a forgotten delta.

LIMITED LIABILITY SOUNDS is the name of the Polish ambient/electronic musician Adam Mankowski. Project is active since 2006, when appeared first official CD-R release, titled – “So Hysterical!”. The name „Limited Liability Sounds“ is a kind of protest against the treatment of noise as a phenomenon that does not deserve the term as a musical genre. Mankowski always claimed that the noise is something natural, which has always accompanied man and has the same rights as silence. Music from the sign LLS is a mixture of drones, experimental electronics, ambient, sometimes noise and field recordings. For the last three years he has been working with a few skillful artists producers as Ishida Naoki (Japan), Stoned Wire (Hungary), Dao De Noize (Ukraine), Gimu (Brazil) and Luca Asari (Italy).

EMERGE is inspired by the minimalist traditions of experimentalism and non-academic noise music, focusing on generating sound structures intended to make atmospheres emerge that are open to each listener’s own interpretation. The choice of sound sources used is usually very limited. In most cases only rudiments of the original sounds are recognizable due to various treatments. EMERGE also uses and recycles raw material from a variety of artists/musicians.

Muyassar Kurdi (Chicago/NYC): ‘Completely concentrated upon her bizarre ritual, the singer – dressed in black – emits tortured vocalisations and cries worthy of Yoko Ono in full flight… It’s incredibly in­your­face and perturbing but makes you smile too: the sheer pleasure of making a racket.’ -L ’ A l s a c e ( F r a n c e )

In performance, she explores the relationship between abstract sound and meta­primordial movement, obliquely confronting ideas of masculine subjugation by re­appropriating and then distorting hegemonically sexualised figurative motion and juxtaposing it with random, abrasive and jarring acoustic and electronic sound components along with wordless vocalisations.
A joyfully self­exorcizing ritualist, Kurdi studied voice and dance with legendary vocalist, dancer and ECM recording artist Meredith Monk via The House Foundation for the Arts as well as learning Japanese dance tradition Butoh with Tadashi Endo, director of the Butoh Center MAMU and Butoh Festivals in Germany, and Mexican master of the form Diego Piñon.

B°TONG hostile soundscapes (Switzerland/Sweden – Silken Tofu & Greytone)

Chris Sigdell is an experimental electronic musician. He developed a soft spot for early industrial textures and pioneering ambient soundscapes while cutting his teeth in cult industrial band NID (1995-2005). He builds an interesting body of work that moves in various directions at the same time. From dealings with ambient and isolationism on one hand and experimental music, ranging from the soft micro-sound end to the more engaging noise end, in a clever combination of ideas…

Since 2005 he has performed at more than 200 venues in Europe, Russia, Canada and the USA. He has appeared at various renown festivals such as: Norberg Festivalen (S), Temple Of Silence (PL), PNEM (NL), Støy På Landet (N), Monsters Of Rot (IRL), Destroy All Artifacts (UK), Unser Industrie (DE), Ausklang (DE), Shift (CH), Lab30 (DE), Kildemose Festivalen (DK), Zeit Für Lärm (DE), Sinus Series (CH).

Tardive Dyskinesia (D)
The beginning of Tardive Dyskinesia reaches back into 2002, when first recordings were made for what would later become the Sadistic EP. The first official works are dated in 2003, followed by two releases on Steinklang Records in 2004 and 2005. The musical work of Tardive Dyskinesia is influenced by a wide spectrum of musical masterminds: Industrial pioneers as Laibach, Scorn, Godflesh, Einstürzende Neubauten, Jesu, Brutal Truth and Vromb were as formative to the sound of Tardive Dyskinesia as Peter Gabriel or David Bowie. The fundamental concept of the project consists in experimenting with all kinds of sounds without any limits regarding the process and result. Everything can and will be possible, only constricted by the limits of phantasy, possibilities and proficiency. After Ronny released a few recordings under his own label moniker Dystonia Recordings and on other CDr-labels and going through a time of experimenting with new ideas and directions, he released his first recording „The Letter“ on audiophob in 2012.
