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.
