Event:
DAT Politics (FR - Chicks on Speed Records, Tigerbeat6, A-Musik)French laptop trio DAT Politics have double-clicked the party icon on their desktops and the result makes for absurd, infectious fun: "the living proof that experimental music doesn't have to have its head up its own arse" (Vice Magazine). They confront glitch, power pop, electronica and punk, with a new knack for perversely catchy hooks, gorgeous rock choruses on furious casiotones, and spinning rhythms. Their reknowned live shows are wildly euphoric and energetic. Softland (CH - Spezialmaterial)Softland's stylistic bandwidth spans from melancholic lo-fi popsongs and datapop-chanson-parody to bewildering soundscapes that unexpectedly morph into intricately arranged electronica-tracks in full cinemascope format. In the exploration of unusual timbres, sounds and harmonies Softland uses a trial-and-error strategy within compositional structures. By layering, filtering, cutting and pasting, what seemed a lack of precision grows into a dense structure of subtle rhythms and complex harmonies.Object (B - Foton)Peter Van Hoesen's alter ego explores the fullness of the frequency spectrum. His compositions playfully insert "music of the body" and "the bass" into a mutating collection of mutilated breaks and loops. Living machine music by a musician with fragmented sonic tactics.Treat of the day:Cube Cola: Open source Cola served by Kate Rich (UK): http://sparror.cubecinema.com/cube/colaSaturday 08.07.2006  -  21:00  -  6€Foton StudioKoolmijnenkaai 30-34 Quai des Charbonnages1080 Brussels
