SEC_

SEC_ is the guy behind Toxo Records and the musical projects related. He plays a personal system of devices composed by Revox tape recorder, no- input feedback, laptop and electrmagnetic devices. Preserving a strong sense of the shape out of the practices of improvisation, he mixes concrete musique and rythmical non-structures, always gambling on the control and the unexpected.

Aspec(t)

SEC_ laptop, processed tapes, analog synth, radio
Mario Gabola feedback and acousitc sax, resonant/feed-drums Aspec(t) works with electro-acoustic instruments, digital devices and systems of feedbacks and resonations. Their music shares the timbrical research and the execution control typical of some radical impro music, but meets the visceral intensity and the obscure poetic of the new aktionsm and of noise music, as well as the research on analog devices and concrete sound materials of the sonic poetry. The result is a fascinating and inextricable forest of sounds: frenetic structures, noise explosions, ancestral cries, an unceasing perversion of the soundscape and the time stream.

Cyanobacteria & Hübsch

Francesco Gregoretti: drums
Renato Grieco: double bass
Carl Ludwig Hübsch: tuba
Cyanobacteria [from the arabian gulf] is a primordial and grotesque sound; a clumsy symbiont of feedback, strings and skins; the oppression of a feedback room as thick as the marsh where the bacterium prolific.
Through the use of avant-garde and self-invented performance techniques, the Hübsch's tuba acquires completely new characteristics as a brass instrument. An innovative array of unexpected sounds is heard, the instrument is seen from a fresh perspective, and the audience is confronted with a novel way of perceiving time.

Olivier Di Placido

Olivier Di Placido is a french guitarist. ”During the years he has developed an absolutely unique approach to his instrument, being able to play it like a turntable, a synthesizer or a gamelan orchestra. Interested in discovering all the possibilities of the guitar, including the most hidden ones, Olivier has litterally invented a new and hybrid instrument, with unfixed neck and moving pick-up.”(Flussi festival 2014)

Weltraum

P'ex: guitar, prepared guitar, metals
SEC_: analog synth, electronics, microphone
Luca Piciullo: drums, bells
Weltraum play violent and elaborated music since 2003. Their research deals with rythmical blocks, but they are not rock music. Concrete sounds, metals, processed electronics and noise, all these elements mixed with a very intense and primitive drumming. The guitar, prepared with tongs and springs, is percussive and devasting too. There's no melody, nor meaning. Everything hammers.

endorgan

P'ex: guitar, prepared guitar
SEC_: analog synth, electronics, processed tapes
Endorgan are extreme harshnoise, ultra-distorted syncopated rythms and deep drones. Endorgan is "En-Droga"!
