slow presents: International Laptop Battle
Posted: Thu Jul 07, 2005 10:10 am
We're doing this thing at The Marquee on Monday 18th July. Three obscure yet exciting artists from Hamburg in the Germany are coming to take on Norwich's indietronic vanguard in an audio-visual punch-up.
All this for only three pounds - we're practically giving it away!
the visitors:
incite/ - a Hamburg-based audio-visual duo. They play bone-dry minimal electronics, fragmented slomo grooves and abstract rhythmic arrangements synced with abstract videos. The tracks sound very much loop based though no two bars are alike.
GradCom - the music of GradCom acts similar to an acoustic microscope: fragments of acoustic sources, be it instruments or any other vibrating object, are stretched and distorted, low frequency drones raise up to a physically menacing substance.
Axiomatic Integration - experimental electronics. Melodic parts evolve out of noisy elements, pictures are broken by abstract forms, grainy sounds are combined with clear ones, organic structures transform into concrete objects, calm intros step up into aggressive sequences.
the locals:
Hoofus - the poster boy of Norwich Indietronics. Hasn't played for Slow for a long time, but has now forgiven us for this lapse in our booking policy.
Canadia - mistaking lack of rehearsal for experimentation, this duo (it's usually a duo) really are wasting everybody's time. For this show they have teamed up with visual manipulator Steve's Evil Twin, so at least you'll have some pretty pictures to look at while you're trying to block the noise out.
