PRSZR

Prszr (pronounced ?pressure?) started as a collaboration between  
acclaimed polish percussion duo Hati and austrian electronic music  
veteran Pure combining the eerie, computer generated sound world of  
Pure with the archaic, outer-wordly spaceyness of Hati?s percussion  
play. Prszr is now the duo of Rafal Iwanski and Pure.

PRSZR comprises of acclaimed polish percussion duo HATI and austrian  
electronic music veteran PURE combining the eerie, computer generated  
sound world of PURE with the archaic, outer-wordly spaceyness of  
HATI?s percussion play.

Multi-layered syncopating polyrhythms alternate with gong-based  
drones, both built on top of computer-generated loops and pulsating  
patterns. Melting acoustic with electronic aesthetics in a unique way  
PRSZR explores in their performances strategies for a highly hypnotic,  
cathartic sonic experience for the audience.

Formed in 2008, and after a few promising concerts in Germany and  
Poland, the trio recorded its first album in 2009. It is released by  
Swiss label Hinterzimmer Records in December 2012 and accompanied by a  
tour through several European cities.

YANNICK FRANCK

Musician and performer behind Idiosyncratics Records and  
electroacoustic improvisation band Y.E.R.M.O. (Venice Biennial 2009,  
Pavilion of Luxembourg), Yannick Franck develops a sound aesthetic  
combining sharp acoustic research and abrasive walls of sound.  
Somewhere between incantatory drone music and post-industrial  
immersions, Franck's singular body of work is in legacies of Phill  
Niblock, Zoviet France, Esplendor Geometrico, Suicide or Coil.

Franck uses his voice in an intuitive way, reciting and singing his  
texts or throat singing to generate signals and alter them in real  
time, using various filters and pedals, he also uses prepared  
instruments and non-musical objects, and more recently an analog  
synthesizer.
On the occasion of this tour, Franck will come up with what he likes  
to call an "auto destructive" performance, in reference to Gustav  
Metzger's "auto destructive art". Though Franck won't destroy his  
equipment or set himself on fire, the performance deals with the ideas  
of destruction as a creative process and more broadly decay and  
transience as central sources of reflexion.
Franck gradually leading the climax he built using declaimed extracts  
of The Auto Destructive Manifesto (Gustav Metzger 1960), samples of  
American protest singer Barry McGuire's song Eve of Destruction ,  
analog rhythms and shamanic vocals towards the white noise, the  
progressive destruction of frequencies by one another, throughout  
their accumulation.

Franck has performed in venues and festivals such as Issue Project  
Room (New York), MUDAM &
Philharmonie du Luxembourg (Luxembourg), Young Arts Biennial (Moscow),  
EPAF (Warsaw),
Instants Chavirés (Paris, FR), Ausland & Electronic Church (Berlin,  
DE) among many others.
