HACKEDEPICCIOTTO (de) + cassé (be) + why the eye? (be)

HACKEDEPICCIOTTO - exclusive Belgian date !!!
Alexander Hacke is original member and the bass player of Einstürzende Neubauten.
Danielle de Picciotto is the co-initiator of the Berlin Love Parade, a collaborator of the electronic Ocean Club & Monika Werkstatt project with Gudrun Gut; former member of cult band Crime & The City Solution and Alexander’s partner in crime. She is also a visual artist.
HACKEDEPICCIOTTO glides across genres that take in cinematic drone, industrial, experimental and spoken word that shift between meditative sung harmonies with soundscapes to heavy drones and meteoric, vivacious symphonies comparable to a perfect mixture of OM, Suicide, Dead Can Dance, Low and Arvo Pärt.
Their beautiful new album “Keepsakes” on MUTE is a collection of midtempo pieces with a newly added touch of heavy jazz beats and is based on personal stories & remembrances.

WHY THE EYE?
WHY THE EYE? is a masked quartet formed in Brussels around D.I.Y. instruments. Their first album was released in 2017 on Plynt & Ångström record labels. Their tribal-noisy-experimental music will shake bodies in a trance, for a low-fi and hairy result.

cassé
cassé is an italo-swiss Duo by Caroline Profanter and Selene Mauvis formed in 2019, in the basement of the Radio Picnic Studio in Brussels. They started with the wish to use only acoustic or self-amplified instruments and to write one Hit Song per rehearsal. They play with found, old and broken instruments, starting from extremely simple melodies and rhythms, dadaist lyrics & amateur singing.
Their first cassette was released on the Belgian cassette label iki gaga in 2020, re-edited in 2022, with the bonus track: je te paye en trash.

XYLOURIS WHITE (gr/au) + GUILLAUME CAZALET (be)

XYLOURIS WHITE (gr/au)
XYLOURIS WHITE is a musical collaboration established in 2013, involving Greek singer and laouto player George Xylouris and Australian drummer Jim White, best known for his work with Dirty Three. The duo's music has been described as combining "free-jazz, avant-rock and ages-old Greek folk traditions."
More in tune now with the rhythm of the sun and moon, XYLOURIS WHITE speak to each other across great distances with the intuition and fellowship that can only be found over years in each other’s company. With fewer distractions, appreciative of the freedom to play with new sounds and spaces, they carve "The Forest In Me" released in 2023 from unbelievably thin air.

GUILLAUME CAZALET (be)
Raag Malkauns & Raag Todi

GUILLAUME CAZALET (CZLT) — headliner of Neptunian Maximalism NNMM, ZAÄAR, Ôros Kaù, Sol Kia, Jenny Torse, Aksu — begins his solo act by working for contemporary artists Felix Luque & Iñigo Bilbao for the art video masterpiece "Junkyard", by recording deep drone metal soundscapes like SOMA’s work ( sunnO))) ). From this work, he produced JUNKYARD, his first album by combining the traditional classical sitar with a drone metal guitar approach. This was the starting point of CZLT project, released by Ascetic Visions, WV Sorcerer Productions and Homo-Sensibilis Sounds, the label he runs.
Consequently, CZLT has dug deep into the devoted works of Indian classical music and Dhrupad masters, such as Ustad Imrat Khan, Ustad Irshad Khan, Ustad Asad Ali Khan, Jyoti Hegde, Zia Fariduddin Dagar, Mita Nag, and many others.
Today he learns to play Sitar, Surbahar, Rudra Veena and vocals practice through contact with the renowned Anglo-Indian sitarist Roopa Panesar and the Dhrupad sub branch with the Tunisian singer/Rudra Veena player Heikel Ben Mlouka. The result in his work is a resolutely experimental approach across all these influences.
This research is dedicated to gaining mastery of the Surbahar / Rudra Veena and vocal practices as well as to transpose this into the occidental context of amplified music. As such, these elements are applied to the drone metal, ambient/binaural and experimental musical approach of CZLT. Exploring the harmonic scales and giving the sound a new power provided by a large range of harmonics, from the microtonal aluminium barytone guitar blended with distortion from multiple bass and guitar stacks, creating a physical and immersive live experience.

eiedma (lt) + Pega goodbye concert (be)

PEGA
After 5 years of crazy concerts, it's time to say goodbye! Come and have fun with us and show us your best dance moves! Haven't heard that dino-post-punk yet?! You'd better hurry! Let the magic of PEGA, the dinos, appartment ficus, the best cheese you've ever tasted and cuberdons takeover the night for a last time. Prestigious rock'n'roll guaranteed, what else!

EIEDMA
eiedma will open for the night, come and discover her music! She grew up as a musician in the Lithuanian punk scene, even though she tried making a pop project, it still turned out quite cynical and aggressive at times. A combination of electro pop beats with guitars, noisy synths, sometimes even jazzy brass instruments, while vocals go from rapping to screaming and then to pop melodies. eiedma is loud, whiny and eccentric, she's in your face and isn't afraid to take up her space.

https://eiedma.bandcamp.com/

All the benefits of the night (after the costs covered) will go to medical aid in Palestine! ❤️🖤🤍💚

WACLAW ZIMPEL (pl)

WACLAW ZIMPEL (pl)
"Waclaw Zimpel has gone from being an outlier among his generation of Polish jazz musicians to one of the most creative and original electronic artists to have emerged from his homeland" – THE QUIETUS

"The Polish polymath brought an unorthodox array of clarinets, synths and a khaen — a Thai mouth organ made of bamboo — to craft gorgeous, looping soundscapes that ranged from ambient electronic to free jazz, occasionally colliding the two for good measure." – HEADPHONE COMMUTE

WACLAW ZIMPEL has risen to prominence as one of Poland's most adventurous multi-instrumentalists, composers and producers following a love affair with jazz yet equally inspired by electronics, minimalism and global roots – a prolific collaborator, ZIMPEL blurs extreme boundaries as far as to eradicate them altogether in tirelessly seeking new musical languages. The New York Times called him a 'musical chameleon'.

Most recent solo highlight has to be 'Train Spotter' an album released in 2023, his first release for London-based label The state51 Conspiracy. 'Train Spotter' was created to a specific brief from The City of Warsaw: to capture the Sound of the City of Warsaw. But, as WACLAW ZIMPEL soon found out, the sounds of a city don't exist in isolation; they're part of a wider environment that is itself undergoing upheaval against a background of internal and external forces. Recording a variety of mechanised and repetitive sounds including tramlines, baggage carousels and bouncing basketballs in municipal parks among many other found sources, WACLAW ZIMPEL then fed the results through a host electronic equipment including synthesisers, keyboards, beat machines and plug-ins to create something wholly new and original. Building on the notion of Musique Concrète where recorded sounds are used as raw compositional material, 'Train Spotter' is a record that rises in intensity, both within the individual tracks and the sequencing of the album. The resulting six tracks are both a reflection of the city that birthed it and the wider world that surrounds it.

Ben Kreukniet's work combines multiple materials and media including light, sound and video. Together, these are used to create digitally altered environments, objects, installations and frameworks for live performance.
Before starting his solo practice in 2016, Ben co-directed United Visual Artists, overseeing design and development across the studio's artistic and performative practice.
Ben has developed installations for the Barbican (London), MONA (Hobart) and the Manchester International Festival. He has created work for brands including Nike, Bottega Veneta, Cartier and Versace, in addition to co-directing tours for James Blake and Massive Attack.
