Native Instrument & Jung An Tagen & Èlg
Les Ateliers Claus and KRAAK present a triple bill of radical electronic music. A state of the art about concrete dance music and far out abstractism.
Stine Janvin Motland en Felicity Mehan zijn samen Native Instrument, en vormen het nieuwste exploot in wat men voor het gemak post-exotica kan noemen. Zelf noemen ze hun combinatie van spaarse electronica, geluidssynthese en advanced vocal techniques ‘mellow insect techno’, en daar slaan ze een spijker met een kop.
Stine Janvin Motland and Felicity Mehan form together Native Instrument, the newest product in what people call post-exotica. The duo coined the new genre ‘mellow insect techno’ for their mixture of sparse electronics, sound synthesis and advanced vocal techniques, and who are we to contradict the girls?
De Weense Stefan Juster is Jung an Tagen, post-millennial, hardcore arpeggio-generator en fluks barricadeloper van all things new techno. De man bewees op Das Fest Der Reichen (edition mego, 2017) dat er een directe link bestaat tussen hardcore gabber en de geluidssynthese-experiment
The Vienna based Stefan Juster is Jung an Tagen — radical post-millennial, hardocre arpeggiator and loose avant-guardist of all things new techno. The man proved with his latest record Das Fest der Reichen (edition Mego, 2016) that there is a direct link between hardcore gabba music and the sound experiments of the Darmstadt studio’s. In his opinion abstract electronic music is absolutely to dance on, and techno could be a banger in terms of hermetic experiment.
Onze favoriete Brusselse Fransman El-G laveert nog steeds tussen Franse Chanson, radicale tape-collages en far out elektronica die pakweg Throbbing Gristle in hun broek laat schijten. Zijn laatste plaat Mauve Jaune viel precies tussen de plooien van 2016, maar bewijst dat Laurent Gérard steeds op de top van zijn kunnen staat, als het gaat over associatieve out-sider muziek.
Our favorite French Bruxellois EL-G easily switches between radical tape music, far out electronics that even scare the shit out of Throbbing Gristle, and French chanson. Although it was one of the highlights of 2016, his latest record Mauve Jaune fell between the cracks of end-of-the-year lists. Too bad, because it showed that Laurent Gérard is on top of his game when it comes down to associative outsider music.
