Z'EV vs. Pita
A rich mix of non-linear post-gamelan drumming and the noise thrill of power electronics from two pivotal subterranean musicians. A display of intensely modern sound-sweeping.
Z'EV is a veteran American artist and founding father of the Industrial movement. His performances explore the poetics of space using metallic sheets, pipes, gongs and found materials as percussion. His dozens of collaborators include Glenn Branca, KK.Null, Hafler Trio, and Stephen O'Malley.
Pita (aka Peter Rehberg) is an Austrian musician/author and co-director of Mego. He is a bold modern composer who deploys noise and spiked electronics to create expressive sonic abstractions brimming with microscopic detail. He has worked with Jim O'Rourke, Christian Fennesz, Russell Haswell, Sonic Youth and Mika Vainio among others.

DEVOTCHKA.S CONUNDRUM
(UK/IT) - refurbished sound/orchestrated noise/distorted vision
i: http://www.devotchkasconundrum.com/
devotchka.s conundrum is about curious people finding their own way around sound.
like collectionists they are often interested in what others reject or can't find use for.
then they give it a new life, a new name and a different meaning.
they mix analogue and digital equipment, electroacoustic techniques with electronics, circuit bent objects and toys with vocals, noise with visuals.
loud or quiet, clean or distorted, they have no preconceptions.
and neither should others about them.
in their world sound and image work together or against each other.
hearing becomes a spiderweb to capture the other four senses.
like kids in a park they use whatever catches their attention and makes them have fun.
they get lost and then they try to find the way back.
again and again.
