Description
Aldana Duoraan & HMOT will revisit the instrumental form of the khomus, a kind of mouth harp, deflecting the focus from its conventional »vernacular sounds« to its more artificial and synthetic sonic possibilities through resynthesis and other computer music techniques. Duoraan has been actively preserving and expanding the folklore and khomus techniques of her native Sakha region.
HMOT is the moniker of the artist and researcher Stas Shärifulla, who works with sound and decoloniality through the lens of his Bashqort roots. A fixture in the international improv scene, Julian Sartorius has become known for a drumming style that plays with suspending time and testing infinity. Pairing up for the first time with the polyrhythmic trance of Rabih Beaini’s CDJ wizardry, the duo will unfurl tonal nuances and shift time signatures towards an intense kinetic peak.
The duo Divide and Dissolve have been bringing their Indigenous identities to the forefront of all they do, calling for dismantling hegemonic power structures and working towards a future of Black and Indigenous liberation. The dense and overwhelmingly heavy doom metal of their most recent album Systemic (2023) is interwoven with beautiful orchestral passages, creating a structure with rooms to breathe and reset before plunging into the next landscape of sludgy guitar and pounding percussion.
As they oscillate between beauty and suffering, Divide and Dissolve aims to examine the systems that intrinsically bind us and call for a new path that facilitates life for everyone. The multidisciplinary artist and performer otay:onii, formerly active as the vocalist for Elisabeth Colour Wheel, harnesses a shapeshifting voice, leaping from oddball pop melodies to shrieking caprice as she explores themes of anxiety and selfhood over swirling drones, distorted harmony, noise, and carnivalesque ceremonial forms.
