Preslav Literary School+Man from Uranus +Helge Meyer

Helge Meyer is an experimental electronic musician from Hamburg, Germany. Using a varying array of analogue Synthesizers and Boutique Pedals he tries to articulate his relations to musical subgenres such as Drone, Ambient or Noise.
Since 2009 he presented his improvisations in a number of concerts and came to share a stage with people like Eddie135, Balz Isler, Felix Kubin and Feine Trinkers Bei Pinkels Daheim.

As Preslav Literary School, Adam Thomas makes live tape collages using sounds drawn from an ever-growing archive of self-generated or discovered outsider noise, found sound and spoken word cassettes. A process of transference, overdubbing and live manipulation reworks these source materials into compelling, ambient broadcasts. Adam has released three albums, numerous live CDrs and played at venues and festivals throughout Europe.

Man From Uranus is a one man band from Cambridge, UK. His main influences are Science Fiction movie soundtracks from the sixties as well as the music of Sun Ra and Karlheinz Stockhausen. He has toured all across europe and released his music on several independent labels.

Catherine Christer Hennix (C.C. Hennix) (born 1948) is a Swedish-American composer, philosopher, scientist and visual artist associated with drone minimal music. Hennix was affiliated with MIT’s AI Lab in the late 1970s and was later employed as research professor of mathematics at SUNY New Paltz. She currently lives in Berlin. C.C. Hennix began her musical studies in the 1960s by exploring the music of the art music composers Iannis Xenakis and Karlheinz Stockhausen.  Hennix met La Monte Young and Hindustani raga master Pandit Pran Nath at the Nuits du Fondation Maeght festival in 1970 and pursued studies with both men during the 1970s. Hennix also drew inspiration from the Japanese Gagaku music and early vocal, thirteenth-century music of Perotinus and Leoninus. Hennix frequently worked together with the American anti-art philosopher, composer and violinist Henry Flynt.

Henry Flynt (born 1940 in Greensboro, North Carolina) is a philosopher, avant-garde musician, anti-art activist and exhibited artist often associated with Conceptual Art, Fluxus and Nihilism. Henry Flynt violin´s style fuse avant-garde noise music (particularly the hypnotic aspects of minimalism) with free-jazz and hillbilly country music. Some of his more dissonant violin performances can be compared to the no wave noise music violin performance art of Boris Policeband.

Fuori i nomi! 1/Musica by DuChamp

We are very happy to announce that we have finally our definitive line-up.  It has been really hard to choose, but, inspired a bit by Sam Wagstaff, we decide to present just music that we love, no matter where it comes from and how is produced, and furthermore we were delighted by the possibility of using the EVP in an aesthetical sense, so we like to think that each artist we have choosen deal a bit (maybe unconsciously) with mystery and wonder, sometimes letting the surprise of the creation taking over the control of the execution.  So, here’s the names…for detailed infos, go here

Siamo molto felici di annunciarvi che finalmente abbiamo una line-up definitiva. E’ stato molto difficile decidere, ma, un pò ispirate da Sam Wigstaff, abbiamo deciso di presentare solo musica che amiamo, non importa da dove venga e come sia prodotta, e inoltre siamo deliziate dal poter usare il concetto di EVP in senso estetico, quindi ci piace pensare che ogni nostro artista abbia, magari incosciamente a che fare con il mistero e la meraviglia, magari lasciando la sopresa della creazione prendere il sopravvento sul controllo dell’esecuzione. Quindi, qui ci sono i nomi, per informazioni piu’ dettagliate, vi rimandiamo qui
