KIKI BOHEMIA
Kiki Bohemia spielt einen Querschnitt aus dem eigenen Repertoire und Lieblingslieder des 20.Jahrhunderts und zeigt mit Akkordeon und einem Gerätepark aus Loop-Stations, Sequenzern und Diktaphonen, dass die Verschmelzung von klassischen Harmonien mit rauen, experimentellen Drones möglich ist. Dann widmet sich Sicker Man dem melancholischen Chaos und umhüllt seine Lieder mit Cello-Flächen, elektronischem Lärm, Gitarren und programmierten Beats. Ein Abend für die Freunde von experimenteller Popmusik, große Melodien und leiser Pathos – Kopfkino für’s Herz.
SICKER MAN
Sicker Man is the solo-projekt of TOBIAS VETHAKEclassical instruments like guitars, zither, glockenspiel and cello are mixed with electronic toys and synthesizer and then enstranged with heaps of analog effect-pedals.you could call it FOLKTRONIKA, but it’s more than just a guitar and a laptop. folk songs wrapped in orchestral soundscapes.„creating music is at first about absolute intuition, a room full of instruments, toys to play with. afterwards i look at what i have recorded and pick everything that is relevant. i think, any music that is released should add something new to the large pool of music that is already existing.
MACHINE EST MON COEUR (France/Australia)
Weaving a universe made of dreams and sound collage…Machine est mon Coeur is Lo-fi, dark-pop for lovers, dreamers and somnambulists.
Driven by moody piano and synths (Gabin Lopez), and swept with ghostly guitars and vocals (Bianca Calandra). The mood of the music and the lyrics are definitely gothic-inspired, and the band’s love of sci-fi and horror films shines through…
Their debut album ‘Dystopium’ will be released in February 2015, on Blank Records/Broken Silence.
The album was recorded in an old house lost in the French country-side amidst cold, star-filled nights, skeletal trees and foggy days. The band produced the album themselves, combining the writing/recording/producing processes, an approach closer to collage (as opposed to more traditional production.) ‘Dystopium’ was mixed in Berlin by Tobias Vethake (Sicker Man/ Blank Records).
Machine est mon Coeur is not only a musical project, but includes a whole universe of visual material created by the band (filmclips, photos, artwork, merch etc.) The band has a strong DIY (do it yourself) aesthetic, as they believe in representing their vision of the world through multiple artistic channels.
