A ten-day program, in and around Paris, dedicated to music pioneers and other sound explorers.
2 dates at Les Générateur :
Friday, April 10, 8pm to midnight
Islam Chypsy / E.E.K [Egypt]
E.E.K. superimposes sonic flashes from traditional oriental scales and frenetic clusters straight from Islam Chipsy’s synth to the hysterical rhythms of his two drummer/percussionist colleagues.
C_C [France]
Inspired by radical dub, grimy jungle, smashed breakcore and ritual ceremonies,C_C has a deliberately raw and brutish approach to both production and live performance.
Pharoah Chromium & Vincent Epplay [Germany / France]
In the summer of 2011, Ghazi Barakat (Pharoah Chromium) and Vincent Epplay went to Morocco to make field recordings to create the music for Azurazia, a mystical SF film imagined by Nicolas
Moulin. Exotic and hypnotic surreal atmospheres.
DJ: Arc de Triomphe [France]
Proto-Rai, Thai-funk, Raja beats and other unbridled tropicalisms feed the musical selections of Arc de Triomphe.
Saturday, April 11, 8pm to midnight
F.M Einheit & Caspar Brötzmann [Germany]
Percussionist, F.M Einheit is a major figure on the German experimental scene. He’s the one who brings the construction site to the stage with his springs, drill and jackhammer! Caspar Brötzmann, for his part, is a guitarist with a unique and brutal sound, with a deflagration tendency.
Dial [USA, UK]
Dial is the very essence of no-wave electric dissonance, strings stretched to the max, razor edge, filthy polyrhythms and a flayed, strangled vocal that barfs over the rubble of Western rock.
Klaus Legal [France]
Producing a saturated, almost synth-punk electronic music, accompanied by French lyrics in which he doesn’t hesitate to bare his soul,Klaus Legal is a guaranteed visceral sonic intensity, most often in complete darkness.
DJ Taille-Jockey vs Mellotron [France]
A mix of traditional, noise, electroacoustic and free jazz that occasionally rocks into electronics. A swaying playmat for easily distracted ears.
