L'art de sculpter avec des mots

 

(Heimat is a French Experimental/Electronic duo formed by Olivier Demeaux (Cheveu, Accident du Travail) and Armelle Oberlé (The Dreams, Badaboom); sometimes very martial like a marching music, sometimes very lyrical, the Heimat's musics are going deeper in these weirdo landscapes, using cinematographic scores and samples over layers of urban cultures, in order to open the gates of the dreamy gazes and the shadowy stories).

Con olor a brisa de los Andes

(Die Noia Futuriszka is an Argentinian project of Ferrán Pont Vergés (formerly of "Rayos Catriel," "FMH," "Tecnofilia," and "Horacio Nuevatemporada"). Ferrán's musical career is extensive. His first two bands were "Martín Maguceno" and "Tamboor," both in the city of Córdoba, where he was born. Later, in Buenos Aires, he actively participated in the sonic movement, alongside Gabriel Lucena, with the trio "Rayos Catriel," a post-punk, shoegazer, and sonic act that left its mark on the scene of that decade.

 

In the early 2000s, he founded the improvisational band "FMH" alongside Lucena, Gabriel Funes, Sebastián Descarzo, Henrik Svensson, and Guillermo Barceló. Around 2010, he joined the shoegaze band "Horacio" as a guitarist. 

 

DNF began in 2005 as a solo project of ambient and noise music. He released the CD "Politikaan Foresztaatsz" under the Fuga Discos label, and a second independent digital album called "Davola." After 2020, he returned to post-punk, darkwave, and krautrock, with touches of shoegaze. That year, he released the album "Horizonte de un salón," which received widespread acclaim in the US and Europe. In 2023, he released the album "When" and presented it live in Córdoba, as part of an exhibition of his paintings that strongly correlate with the songs. 

 

DNF currently consists of Ferrán Pont Vergés and Diego Centurión on guitar and vocals, Un Snark on synthesizers and bass, and Rudolph Heinz on bass).

Gün batımında kuşların son şarkısı

(Altın Gün is a Dutch Amsterdam-based project founded in 2016, mixing Turkish folk, psychedelia, funk and rock. The band is formed by Jasper Verhulst (bass), Ben Rider (guitar), Merve Dasdemir (vocals), Erdinc Yildiz Ecevit (vocals, saz, keys), Gino Groeneveld (Percussion) and Daniel Smienk (drums).

Altin Gün ("Golden Day") plays Turkish folk songs which were passed on from generation to generation on the one hand and a dirty blend of funk rhythms, wah-wah guitars and analogue organs on the other. Older generations of Turkish musicians have also experimented with opening doors between previously unconnected sonic worlds. During the seventies, artists such as Baris Manço, Selda Bağcan and Erkin Koray practiced a way of songwriting and composing similar to Altin Gün’s. They took the music played during the festive occasions and serious formalities of their childhood, folk songs backed by a traditional Turkish string instrument called the saz. To this, they added the techniques and vibes of their times and the result then went on to become a distinct Turkish sound during 1972-1977 which even today still sounds rich, danceable and heavily mind bending.

Manço, Bağcan and Koray have all influenced Altin Gün, but their foremost inspiration is Neşet Ertaş, a Turkish folk musician whose musical legacy is invaluable. Comparisons are almost impossible to make but imagine someone with the same impact and status as Bob Dylan or George Gerschwin and you’re getting close. Many of the songs he wrote have become standards in Turkey, national treasures which are cherished up until the present day. Altin Gün retain the lyrical and thematic structure of Ertaş’s songs, though they often alter their time signatures and add fuzzy bass sounds, sweltering organ sounds and raw saz riffs. Ertaş wrote the majority of the songs on the album even if these are hardly recognisable after all the work Altin Gün have done on them. 

In 2019 they were nominated for a Grammy for their album Gece in the category "Best World Music Album").

Ouvrir des portails vers l'immensité du chaos quantique

 

(Igorrr (Monsieur Gautier Serre) is a French composer of electronic and acoustic music who mixes with astonishing ease genres as different as electronica, baroque music, death metal and trip hop among others. The result of that virtuous freakie musical mind is a a mangled maelstrom of classical coupled with modern synthesised and virtual instrumentation, resulting in a breakbeat-black metal-opera exercise in madness.

 

Serre is also part of the now disbanded side-projects Whourkr and Corpo-Mente. The Igorrr project became a full band with the addition of vocalists Laure Le Prunenec and Laurent Lunoir, drummer Sylvain Bouvier, guitarist Martyn Clément and bassist Erlend Caspersen. In 2021 both vocalists left the band and were replaced with JB Le Bail and Aphrodite Patoulidou, who were later replaced by Marthe Alexandre. In 2024 Rémi Serafino took the posision of the drummer.

 

Igorrr's sound combines breakbeats, heavy metal riffs, extreme tempo changes, and operatic singing coupled with screaming/growling, among other elements, to create an intense, disturbing, and undeniably distinct experience". The project's musical sources include black metal, death metal, industrial metal, progressive metal, classical music (especially Baroque music), Balkan music, breakcore and trip hop).

 

[Although it was a long five years of waiting, it was totally worth it, welcome back again to my favorite band. -CM-].

Die Maschine rollt ohne Unterbrechung weiter

 

(Kombynat Robotron is a German Krautrock/Psychedelic/Space Rock band from Kiel, formed by Jannes Ihnen (Guitar/Synthesizer), Claas Ogorek (Bass), Richard Schröder (Guitar) and Thomas Handschick (Drums/Percussion); with driving rhythms, repetitive riffs and spherical soundscapes, Kombynat Robotron create a hypnotic sound that blurs the boundaries between krautrock, psychedelic and noise rock.

 

The Kiel-based trio has been an integral part of the European psychedelic rock scene since its formation in 2018 and stands for raw energy, musical freedom and rampant improvisation. With seven studio albums acclaimed by fans and critics, as well as various tape and split releases and shows with bands such as Elder, Verstärker and Domkraft, Kombynat Robotron has made a name for itself as an uncompromising (live) band that carries the spirit of Krautrock into the present day).
