UPCOMING CONCERTS AT NK - Berlin

Saturday Jan 21st Doors 21:30 Concert: 22:00

*ANDREA BELFI/ CLIFFORD TORUS/ MARINOS KOUTSOMICHALIS*
*
Andrea Belfi *is a drummer, electroacoustic musician and composer. His
projects and collaborations extend to diverse musical fields, from rock to
electroacoustic experimentation, from avant-folk to radical improvisation,
from audio/visual performance to sound installation. In his live set AB
faces the audience with an essential drum set, surrounded by synthesizers,
a loop station, some contact microphones, an harmonica and two small-size
speakers. The acoustic elements and the electronic ones mingle, intertwine
and sometimes switch places: the acoustic sounds are treated as they were
electronic, and the actual electronic ones are played at the very moment.
Rhythmic patterns go beyond the mere beat as AB shapes them in cycles,
ever-circling but ever-changing, both reassuring and surprising.

*Clifford Torus* is an embedded submanifold with Anders S. Hana- drums,
synths, vocs (Moha! & Ultralyd) & Leon T. Barnett- guitar, vocs (Horacio
Pollard).

*Marinos Koutsomichalis* (b. Athens, Greece 1981) sound-artist, composer.
Active internationally in both academic and non academic milieus, MK is
being composing and performing exploratory sound (and sometimes visual) art
since the mid ’00s using a variety of mediums – computers, programming
languages, acoustic instruments / ensembles, analogue electronics,
loudspeakers, domestic appliances, environmental sounds or photography
amongst others. He is mainly interested in how sonic/visual phenomena
manifest in the space-time-consciousness complex and how he can create
aesthetically intriguing artworks based on such manifestations as mediums
in themselves. He has no interested in expressing or representing anything
– his art aims rather at fulfilling space and at essentially stimulating
one’ s state of being instead.He has exhibited works of his worldwide in
acclaimed galleries, academias, festivals, churches, independent venues,
etc. He has collaborated with Z’EV, Francisco Lopez, Marc Behrens, Kasper
T. Toeplitz, Greg Haines, the Red Note Ensemble, N. Kyriazopoulos and
others.

Concert session:
*
John Duncan *portrays his work as a catalyst, inciting a transmission of
energy through which he seeks to compel the audience to actively
participate in the process of investigation and self-discovery. His lengthy
career of electroacoustic intensity and confrontational performance art
events is the result of rigorous investigations into a number of arcane,
metaphysical, and at times transgressive themes. (Jim Haynes, The Wire)

The sonic works of *John Wiese* categorised as harsh noise create feelings
of unease in even the most seasoned experimental music audience. They can
be recognised by their constant, idiosyncratic and unpredictable changes in
dynamics – from total loudness to absolute silence – and cuts between
drastically different sound materials.

*Eli Keszler *is a composer, artist and multi-instrumentalist based in New
York City. In performance, he often plays drums, bowed crotales and guitar
in conjunction with his installations. In his ensemble compositions, he
uses extended strings, motors, crotales, horns and mechanical devices to
create his sound, balancing intense harmonic formations with acoustic
sustain, fast jarring rhythm, mechanical propulsion, dense textures and
detailed visual presentations.

*Bill Kouligas* is a sound artist, composer and designer who also runs the
sound art label PAN. He has collaborated with the likes of Joseph Hammer,
Destroy All Monsters, C Spencer Yeh, John Olson, Christian Weber, Chris
Corsano, RLW, Kouhei Matsunaga among others.

*Dirk Paesmans *is a part of the Jodi collective together with Joan
Heemskerk, and has since the mid-1990s been creating original artworks for
the World Wide Web.
