With apologies for cross-posting<br><br>UPCOMING CONCERTS AT NK - Berlin<br><br>Saturday Jan 21st Doors 21:30 Concert: 22:00<br><br><font size="4"><b>ANDREA BELFI/ CLIFFORD TORUS/ MARINOS KOUTSOMICHALIS</b></font><br>
<b>
<br>Andrea Belfi </b>is
a drummer, electroacoustic musician and composer. His projects and
collaborations extend to diverse musical fields, from rock to
electroacoustic experimentation, from avant-folk to radical
improvisation, from audio/visual performance to sound installation.
In
his live set AB faces the audience with an essential drum set,
surrounded by synthesizers, a loop station, some contact microphones, an
harmonica and two small-size speakers. The acoustic elements and the
electronic ones mingle, intertwine and sometimes switch places: the
acoustic sounds are treated as they were electronic, and the actual
electronic ones are played at the very moment. Rhythmic patterns go
beyond the mere beat as AB shapes them in cycles, ever-circling but
ever-changing, both reassuring and surprising.<br>
<br><b>Clifford Torus</b> is an embedded submanifold with Anders S.
Hana- drums, synths, vocs (Moha! & Ultralyd) & Leon T. Barnett-
guitar, vocs (Horacio Pollard).<br><br><b>Marinos Koutsomichalis</b> (b.
Athens, Greece 1981) sound-artist, composer. Active internationally in
both academic and non academic milieus, MK is being composing and
performing exploratory sound (and sometimes visual) art since the mid
’00s using a variety of mediums – computers, programming languages,
acoustic instruments / ensembles, analogue electronics, loudspeakers,
domestic appliances, environmental sounds or photography amongst others.
He is mainly interested in how sonic/visual phenomena manifest in the
space-time-consciousness complex and how he can create aesthetically
intriguing artworks based on such manifestations as mediums in
themselves. He has no interested in expressing or representing anything –
his art aims rather at fulfilling space and at essentially stimulating
one’ s state of being instead.He has exhibited works of his worldwide in
acclaimed galleries, academias, festivals, churches, independent
venues, etc. He has collaborated with Z’EV, Francisco Lopez, Marc
Behrens, Kasper T. Toeplitz, Greg Haines, the Red Note Ensemble, N.
Kyriazopoulos and others.<br>

Concerts starting at 21:00 SHARP!</b><br><br>Concert session:<br><b><br>John Duncan </b>portrays
his work as a catalyst, inciting a transmission of energy through which
he seeks to compel the audience to actively participate in the process
of investigation and self-discovery. His lengthy career of
electroacoustic intensity and confrontational performance art events is
the result of rigorous investigations into a number of arcane,
metaphysical, and at times transgressive themes. (Jim Haynes, The Wire)<br>
<br>The sonic works of <b>John Wiese</b> categorised as harsh
noise create feelings of unease in even the most seasoned experimental
music audience. They can be recognised by their constant, idiosyncratic
and unpredictable changes in dynamics – from total loudness to absolute
silence – and cuts between drastically different sound materials.<br>
<br><b>Eli Keszler </b>is a composer, artist and multi-instrumentalist
based in New York City. In performance, he often plays drums, bowed
crotales and guitar in conjunction with his installations. In his
ensemble compositions, he uses extended strings, motors, crotales, horns
and mechanical devices to create his sound, balancing intense harmonic
formations with acoustic sustain, fast jarring rhythm, mechanical
propulsion, dense textures and detailed visual presentations.<br>
<br><b>Bill Kouligas</b> is a sound artist, composer and designer who
also runs the sound art label PAN. He has collaborated with the likes of
Joseph Hammer, Destroy All Monsters, C Spencer Yeh, John Olson,
Christian Weber, Chris Corsano, RLW, Kouhei Matsunaga among others.<br>
<br><b>Dirk Paesmans </b>is a part of the Jodi collective together with
Joan Heemskerk, and has since the mid-1990s been creating original
artworks for the World Wide Web.<br><a href="http://elikeszler.com/" target="_blank">http://elikeszler.com/</a>
