In early March, Razen and turntablist Guilhem All, will head to Volta for a multi-day residency. They will also be recording a new album there that is to be released later this year on KRAAK. At the end of their residency, they will hold a showcase moment where their new work will be performed for the first time – and you can be there.
Razen
Razen has been around since 2010 and has released numerous albums on labels like KRAAK, Marionette, TAL and Hands In The Dark since then. If international interest in experimental music from Belgium has increased in recent years, then that is no doubt thanks to musical collectives like Razen. With their electro-folkloristic intensity and instrumentation they create music that is unique worldwide.
Guilhem All
Guilhem All is an instinctive turntable artist from Brest, France, who has a unique and compelling way of working. With three turntables, self-made dubplates and everyday objects like paper and cardboard, he creates syncopated grooves and fuzzy drones. His approach is simple, yet profound: he leans over the turntables, where his discs – that he has found, composed, crushed or connected - spin.
He interweaves the raw and tactile elements of sound. The result can put listeners into a hypnagogic trance. Guilhem is never pushy, he simply suggests and invites his audience into a world of subtle, complex soundscapes.
This concert is organised by Volta and AB.
