BEAR BONES, LAY LOW, TG GONDARD, SUPERSKIN

BEAR BONES, LAY LOW live

For over a decade, this Venezuelan now long-time based in Belgium, has been creating psychedelic electronic sound by juxtaposing digital and analog sources. Using repetitive melodies and rhythms combined with dissonant sounds, BBLL wishes to induce a multilayered trance that allows solemn listening as well as ecstatic dancing in a mental space where the archaic meets the futuristic, where the earthly meets the cosmic. His live performances have attracted many music fans from different horizons, allowing him to play in varied contexts ranging from strictly experimental music festivals like Échos in the valleys of Le Saix, to open-minded night-clubs such as Salon des Amateurs in Düsseldorf or Contact Club in Tokyo and everything in between. As an active musician in Belgium’s experimental underground he has also been part of numerous free music outfits including the late Silvester Anfang/Sylvester Anfang II and is currently active with the electronic duo Tav Exotic amongst other projects. With releases on different labels such as Kraak, Ekster, Lullabies for Insomniacs and BAKK to mention only a few, his most recent material has been released on the Rush Hour affiliated No Label series.

TG GONDARD live

TG Gondard or Thibault Gondard, first known as TG and active in French underground since the late 90’s. Thibault has explored many musical worlds, through his own melancholic lo-fi filter since then. After relocation to Brussels in 2009, TG’s dronefolknoise transformed into something what can be described as an urban post-R’n’B / heavy samples / syncopated chanson / dirty pop. In 2014 Gondard released another side-project Colombey.

SUPERSKIN live

Giving the adjective “hypnotising” a run for its money, Superskin’s airy, lofi encrusted compositions revel in an opium haze. Following a dub-inflected sequence of rhythmic structures, slabs of luscious melody seduce only to roll back and re-appear to lull the listener into a state of zen-like trance. Superskin is the moniker of Austrian artist and musician Andreas Klotz.
