BISCLAVERET (PL)

Using music and spoken word, Bisclaveret discovers and creates an original and seemingly unreal world of sound. The creation is supposed to be detached from “here and now”. With sounds which, for a lack of a better term, are described as ambient-like, the Gdańsk based project transplants holistic visions of little-known esoteric thinkers, mystics, visionaries, and madmen into the sonic domain. Founded in 2000, the duo comprising Maciej Mehring and Radosław Murawski pursues its own musical mission detached from any dependencies. Each album released by Bisclaveret is a separate concept dedicated to a specific phenomenon or event. The musicians treat their releases like some sort of mystical and philosophical treatises. Magic, esotericism, and transcendental and non-rational phenomena are regular themes in Bisclaveret’s art - appearing as both inspiration and an inherent ingredient of the project. Bisclaveret’s sounds are meant to be a stimulus for a psychedelic journey into the depths of the self and a metaphysical voyage towards the unknown.

EMPUSAE (B)

Empusae is a synonym of intensity, which cannot be closed in rational frames of mechano-ethnic rhythm noise. Empusae jest an individual creation of Nicolas Van Meirhaeghe, also known as Sal –Ocin. A sound artist fascinated both by modern technology and non-European esoteric traditions - in Empusae he included rhythm and noise, as well as echoes of different magic rituals. Rhythmic sequence of noise and beat serve as a building block for the ritual. The sounds are supposed to become a tool for initiation, entrancing to move away from matter, towards transcendence. Empusae is a rhythmic a sonic impulse, a stimulus to go beyond the ratio. Empusae's music can be a rhytmic discharge, both danceable and ambient drone. Its sound leads through suburbian solid waste landfill towards spaces of wild nature, unrestrained by civilisation.

INADE (D)

Inade's artistic work enompasses broadband space – from gloomy post industrial to multidimensional dark ambient. Otherwordly music of Inade is beauty, majesty, luridness and mystery. One of its aims is to create a multilevel sound roam into the depth of the subconsciousness. Inade - Knut Enderlein and Rene Lehmann managed a skill of making music which is appropriate for temples and for planetariums. Their sound has incredible power, it reaches the unconsciousness, it is able to induce hypnotic states. A great number of Inade's work has close connection with the cosmos – it successfully sends the listener towards celestial sphere. Astral excursions evoked by sound lead into unexplored, dark worlds. We see/hear spacial landscapes, we witness birth of new planets and also catastrophies foretelling the apocalypse. Inade's albums are precise, spatial extraterrestial mysterias. Each of them is a solid, perfectly constructed audiovisual project. All the products are released by Loki Foundation – band members' own company, dealing with production, distribution and promotion of experimental music. Composed in Leipzig located legendary laboratory Deep Audio – Inade's sound has a potential, which can be called superrational.

JOB KARMA (PL)

Job Karma treats industrial as a starting point for artistic freedom, exploration and unlimited experiments. As a codeword which involves industrial noise, elaborate, multilayer ambient as well as dance beat. The principle behind the music of Job Karma was always: no limits. A distinctive, immediately recognizable aspect of Job Karma's music is the sound created from age-old low and high frequency generators and oscillators, sine waves. Unique sounds of devices, which were not originally designed to be musical instruments, links with modulated by timbres of old analog synthesizers. The pieces are constructed on loops, timbre spots, blends and sequences. The integral element of Job Karma's tracks are samples discovered in the archives and those recorded by the sound artists themselves, on different continents. Mostly in North Africa and Asia Minor. In trance forms, rituals of vision and sound, Job Karma's music work joins urban primitivism and reflects cyivilisation overload. The project debuted in 1997 as a duo formed by Maciej Frett and Aurelisz Pisarzewski, with permanent collaboration of a visual artist Arkadiusz Baginski, enriching their concerts with video projections of his auteur films. Musical activity comes along with popularisation activity. The members of Job Karma are also the curators of the festival we are attending now

MAAAA! (RU)

Short performances of MAAAA are a form of annex for the surrounding reality . The sounds emited byz Maaaa consist of communication offcuts, reverberation of conflicts, affray etc. They are a literal reflection of confounded current scene. Functioning for over a decade, individual project of Sergei Hanolaien has evolved from short, rapid noise attacks to more complex forms. Currently, Maaaa is multilevel blocks of concentrated information plus noise.Based on damaged tape loops, enhanced sounds of physical objects and field recordings, contemporary concrete music.

NURSE WITH WOUND (UK)

Legendary creation of Steven Stapleton is a living example of absolute freedom in art. The imperative is hundred-percent anarchy that spews value. Nurse With Wound is exceptionally fruitful show of anti-schematism, breaking all kinds of limitations or formulas. Abstract, anti-structural music, yet so very different from dozens contemporary „novelty” seekers! Steven Stapleton is one of mages of English esoteric scene which had culmination in the 80s. Since then, whatever has been released under the name Nurse With Wound is an implementation of surrealism and dadaism postulates. NWW is a sort of audial version of surrealist cadavre exquis game. It is exactly what Lautréamont described as a chance meeting on a dissecting table of a sewing machine and an umbrella. Whatever you say about NWW's music, you are never able to unequivocally pigeonhole what Steven Stapleton is doing. Quite often, violation of schemes provokes NWW to make something like an anti-hit. It is not so difficult to find suche moments on NWW's albums. Nobody can deny that NWW is the classic of anti-music or anti-art. In this case, it means the art of the highest quality.
