CONTUMACE
Freeze
16’05’’

Z.B. AIDS A.K.A. VALERIE SMITH
Concert à Caen
20’50’
Hendrik Hegray's solo project. Disrupted rhythms, frequency generators, cassette and audio file residues, guitar protrusions. Between frustrated psychedelia and arranged noise. Circumstantial set-ups.

Terrine advocates free, label-free music. She has also been performing since 2016 with the dance theater company Sociétés Accidentelles in Amiens.
DAVID NEAUD
Le souffle bricolage
21’38’’
David Neaud is essentially interested in audio art, and more specifically in the physical properties and internal instabilities of the sounds he plays with. Based on low-tech technology, his DIY concert devices are sound laboratories reminiscent of archaic mixing desks and primitive synthesizers. The formal vocabulary of his devices ranges from the nomenclature of DIY workshop equipment, evoking a certain proximity to that of the activity of a noisemaker/experimenter. His concerts are largely open to chance and accident.
MARIACHI
Mène (Badi)
10’20’’
Nina Garcia solo, experiments halfway between improvised music and noise. The equipment is reduced to a minimum: a guitar, a pedal, an unstable amp. The focus is on gesture and research into the instrument, its resonances, its limits, its extensions, its impurities, its audible corners: going with it or against it, containing it or letting it sound, supporting it or violating it. Here you'll find feedbacks, crackles, short circuits, impacts, overflows and near-perfect chords.
KASPER T. TOEPLITZ
Elephant & Cat
21’53’’
Kasper T. Toeplitz composes for others, plays bass solo, loves to cook and believes there are glaring similarities between cooking and composing - the same sense of idea projection and abstraction - and will never trust a musician who doesn't cook. His bass is enhanced by numerous saturations, both analog and digital, and his cooking is without ready-made recipes, and in constant renewal - like his composition. Both can sometimes be too spicy.
