Rabenhirn
     The performances of the 5 piece band Rabenhirn (Frankfurt) combine experimental harsh-noise with video installations. Their repertoire includes
     repetitive noise collages as well as improvised ambient sound structures, created with metal debris, electrical appliances and normal instruments like
     synthesizers, guitar and bass.
 
 

 Notstandskomitee
     The minimalistic electronic project Notstandskomitee (Hamburg) presents elaborate pieces of a dense, dark atmosphere, witnessing the world of
     information superhighways and cyber people. The computer animated backing video reveals that Notstandskomitee is at the forefront of digital
     avantgarde. Notstandskomitee is Malte Steiner's solo-project. He is also known for his other work with "Das Kombinat" and "Elektronengehirn".
 
 

 Mental Obsessions
     The art of Mental Obsessions (Stuttgart) emerges from the abyss of human obsessions. Their music is based on structured noise and driving rhythm,
     contrasted by tonal sounds. The lyrics track down the obsessive and perverse subtext in contemporary media and society. This concept is
     represented visually by disquieting images of intricate beauty.
 
 

 Rectal Surgery
     Rectal Surgery mix an apocalyptic cocktail of found noises, radio cuts, feedback, custom built sound generators, and gabba tekkno beats,
     backed by surrealistic film sequences. The spontaneous performance involves the audience as a medium to create an improvised, unrepeatable sound
     experience.
 

NOISE PARTY
     Before, inbetween, and after the bands, DJ Midian (Dragnet Records) and Somnah Thei ( Pflichtkauf ) will be in the mix with an innovative agglomeration of
     industrial records and danceable beats.
