*****************************************
TRACING UNDERCURRENTS invites you to sample the diversity of the 
Israeli experimental sound scene.

 Israel, being a country of immigrants boasts a culturally rich and 
diverse tradition. However, more often than not these expressions have 
been limited to the more traditional arts. The mid-nineties however, 
have seen a surge in experimental audio work, coming especially from 
Jerusalem. In addition independent labels flourished in Jerusalem, a 
city which is in effect the conflict embodied and has seen many of its 
young people move abroad or to cosmopolitan Tel-Aviv. Tracing 
Undercurrents tries to map the cultural and musical diversity of 
contemporary experimental music…tracing routes in-between Jerusalem and 
Tel-Aviv, looking for aesthetic convergences and differences, and 
probing the contextual conditions for experimental sound production in 
Israel. For the first time it brings 11 young cutting-edge performers 
to The Netherlands whose musical repertoires range from electro-pop, 
clicks and cuts, noise, to experimental DJ sets and experimental 
electronic delicacies. In composition, as in its diversity “Tracing 
Undercurrents” is unique and a premiere for Europe.
