Fourth european visit from Colin Hendry from Vancouver, Canada (first toured as "Clone" in 2003), now back with two solo projects - BROKEN SLEEP and his alter ego MILF WOLF. "BROKEN SLEEP is dark ambient, drone, minimal abstraction w/ field recordings from my former work site & my current south asian journey: "Self-loss Circle" (voice, wireless radio, electronics) is a psycho-spiritual experiment where the blind-folded paricipant attempts to experience depersonalization by repeating the first name ("Colin") into a delay-effected wireless microphone while continually walking in a circle. Although physical balance and a sense of direction will likely be lost, the participant may also lose some sense of self and find a new and temporary perspective emerge as the sounds he creates begin to lose meaning.
MILF WOLF is harsh mid-high noise catharsis. active in d.i.y. & extreme music off+on for 25 years. shared bills with a diverse set of folks, including: pan sonic, synapscape, incite/, goatsblood, pulse emitter, dave phillips, tourette, crank sturgeon, dev 79, the rita, flat grey, sistrenatus, coin gutter, holzkopf, skeeter. labels: brise-cul, eklegein, la main gauche, mediacore, tentacle beast, 2013."
Joke Lanz aka SUDDEN INFANT creates an unique blend of physical sound-poetry and dadaistic vocal expression, using contact microphones, prerecorded soundloops and noises. The result is abrupt Musique Concrète juxtapositions of spasmodic gibbering and a battery of disorienting electronics. It's a fragmented field of sound that comes to its own autonomy! Born in Switzerland, now based in Berlin, Joke Lanz is presenting his work since more than 20 years all over the world. Music for contemporary dance, theatre, sound-installations and short-films. Innumerable releases on international labels e.g. Schimpfluch, Entr'acte, RRR, Tochnit Aleph, Blossoming Noise, SSSM, Artware, Klanggalerie, MSBR. Led workshops about Turntablism & Noise Music at the Music Academy Lucerne. Artist residencies in Berlin (1999) and London (2004). Composition assignment by Pro Helvetia Arts Council of Switzerland (2006).
