[spectre] L.E.V. Festival, 1st and 2nd of May

[Monica]

L.E.V. (or Laboratorio de Electrónica Visual – Visual Electronics 
Laboratory), is the space in which electronic music and visual and 
performing arts join as a way of artistic expression aiming at 
introducing the audience to a selection of the most interesting local 
and international creators - the new talent as well as established artists.

On its third edition, the festival returns to Laboral Ciudad de la 
Cultura during May 1st and 2nd 2009. It is designed and conceived by the 
asturiano collective Datatrón 0x3F, co-produced by Teatro de la Laboral 
together with Laboral Art and Industrial Creation Centre as its main 
sponsor.

The first edition had outstanding artistic proposals such as the 
audio-visual live sets by Plaid & Bob Jaroc, Alexander Hacke & Danielle 
de Picciotto, Ryoichi Kurokawa or Rechenzentrum, live sets by Mouse on 
Mars, Bugge Wesseltoft or Apparat and new talent tokens such as Lego my 
Ego, Fuss! or .tape. L.E.V. 08 meant the project’s consolidation thanks 
to proposals such as Kindertotenlieder by Gisèle Vienne, KTL and Dennis 
Cooper, Siren by Ray Lee or live performances by M83, Frank 
Bretschneider, The Black Dog, Monolake & Deadbeat and Clark, among others.

Aphex Twin returns to Spain after many years without coming over to our 
country and he’s doing it to show us his latest laptop performance in 
L.E.V. 09. Considered as one of the most important and influential 
personalities in electronic music, having been surrounded by numerous 
legends, with thorough precision in his control of old synths and 
creation of new sounds and gifted with one of the most restless and 
creative minds in the music scene, today Aphex Twin is still creating 
landmarks in the boundaries of the approved music rules.

L.E.V.’s third edition’s programme will hold other extremely interesting 
works such as Moderat’s (Modeselektor + Apparat’s joint project with the 
visual artists Pfadfinderei) audio-visual live set, who after releasing 
a long-waited for album in March on Bptich Control, will offer a select 
series of sets on special occasions. L.E.V. will also hold Peter 
Greenaway’s Tulse Luper Vj Performance or live sets by Isolée, Nathan 
Fake, Alva Noto and Byetone. This edition will also have the portuguese 
coreographer Rui Horta’s latest work together with the band Micro Audio 
Waves, live sets by Daedelus, AGF, Kelpe or Kettel, Loss-Layers’ 
performance, a creation by Fabrice Planquette and A.lter S.essio or 
Black out by João Samões, as well as Electric Girl, the new project by 
Apostolia Papadamaki from Greece with live music by Blaine Reininger 
(from Tuxedomoon).

The Laboratorio de Electrónica Visual (Visual Electronics Laboratory) 
will share its activities between five amazing spaces: Laboral’s 
Theatre, LABoral Art and Industrial Creation Center, the Church and 
Asturias’ Drama Art School.
