WOLF EYES
Inmiddels zijn ze niet meer weg te denken uit de wereldwijde noise-scene, het experimentele, overdonderende DIY noise-duo Wolf Eyes. De meer dan duizend (duizend!) releases die op hun naam staan zijn voornamelijk in eigen beheer uitgebracht, en laatste releases laten zien dat ze nog zeker niet in kracht hebben ingeboet. Voor het eerst in jaren treden ze weer buiten de Verenigde Staten op, wat het des te meer de moeite waard maakt aan hun nieuwe show te komen zien.

About the last album
“Do you like heavy opinions? Well, here we go. Wolf Eyes is the best and most important band since 1996. Don’t hesitate to discuss but you already know you’re wrong. During the last two years Wolf Eyes recorded and collaborated with a few friends and released those tunes on super limited formats. Difficult Messages collects all tracks and proofs my point from the beginning. Electronic mutant jazz, noisy, rhythmic and wobbly. Zone out, this is the soundtrack.” Bis Aufs Messer

Geseling
Geseling is a harsh noise project which focuses on creating dense walls of noise and feedback by means of scrap metal, field recordings, and crude textures recorded straight to magnetic tape. His noise performances are loud, intense stories of stompbox interference and feedback loops.

Les Horribles Travailleurs
Sound collage project by Max Kuiperand active in the sound art collective 'Fetishism in Sound' , the Netherlands, also active with visual works. The broad spectrum of sound sources that are used corresponds with the broad sound language of this project – it incorporates the crude and the refined – musical elements as well as anti-music and noise – drone as well as cut-up. The project started with the purchase of a cassetterecorder and the recordings of the action of breaking glass, both on15 january1982.

For live performances, Les Horribles Travailleurs uses only some cassetterecorders and a selection of tapes from its archive, with pre-recorded sounds on them. The sounds are combined to a situation specific composition.

Performances are mostly combined with visual presentations in the form of video.

Exhibitions of visual works - photosmaterialscollagespacial arrangementsvideomulti-media installations - are mostly combined with sound.

Releases on mostly cassette tape on the labels: Geräuschmanufaktur (Germany) Chondritic Sound (US) Burried in Slag and Debris (Canada) Cyland Audio Archive (Russia) Sentimental Productions (Ukraine) Noir Age (US) Basement Tapes (US). Also a number of self released tapes and cdr’s – label: raw forms. Many times these items are part of zwart magazine, a personal visual art self released magazine.

The project’s name, ‘Les Horribles Travailleurs’ is French for ‘the horrible workers’, which is a term from one of ‘the letters of the visionary’, written during 1871 by Arthur Rimbaud.
