The TEM offers the late-night 18 October the performances of Shapednoise & Sevi Iko Domochevski (live OFF, IT/ES), Louis Carnell (live, UK) and Classical Mechanics & Vic Pereiró (live, ES).
Shapednoise, alias of Nino Pedone, is a producer, Sicilian DJ and sound designer living in Berlin. Fundador de WEIGHT LOOMING, Pedone sculpts disconcerting and messy electronic textures, fusing them with abrasive and masterfully designed rhythms, and crossing the boundaries of genres, inspiration in industrial music, the rave, elnoise, grime and rap. In 2023, Pedone releases his most ambitious album to date, Absurd Matter, which structures his sonic experimentation in unstable but familiar patterns and has the collaboration of Armand Hammer, Brodinski, Dean Hurley, Moor Mother i ZeelooperZ. Shapednoise will premiere Absurd Matter's audiovisual live show in Spain, accompanies the visual artist and producer residing in Barcelona Sevi Iko Dømochevsky, known for his work with Skrillex, Grimes, Face i Aho Ssan. Next to computer generated and 3D visuals, the artists have designed a chaotic monolithic sculpture composed of LCD screens and lighting.
Louis Carnell decided to close his prestigious alias Visionist as a result of a process of self-discovery and update of subjectivity that now permeates a nascent work. Established in London, Carnell is one of the musicians, the UK's most elusive producers and curators, whose work shows a deep interest in the physical and digital environments in which we find ourselves. His use of sound, the image, scenography and sculpture questions social structures and hierarchies, at the same time that it penetrates through introspection into the problems derived from anxiety and into the connotations of masculinity and race. Also, his meticulous attention to the visual world has led to collaborations with Arcin Sagdic, Daniel Sannwald, Frederik Heyman in Peter De Potter. Their recent collaborative album, 111, published in Mute in April this year, emerged as a cycle of fifteen pieces with the aim of creating for the listener an environment that explores and questions our relationships and the production of communities. The list of the fifteen collaborators, one for each piece, it is varied and surprising: Keeley Forsyth, Lee Ranaldo, I'm Vince, Yara Asmar, Coby Sey, KMRU, Okkyung Lee, Wu-Dl., Green House, Daniel Miller, Laraaji, Marta De Pascalis, Leila, Nailah Hunter i Damsel Elysium. 111 it has the character of a hopeful sound manifesto in a time of disintegration.
Mecànica Clàssica is a Valencian band made up of four musicians who wrap strings of guitars in synthesizer sequences to articulate minimalist ambient electronic pieces. His works are an exploration of synthetic music from a current perspective and renew the extensive topographies opened by pioneers such as Craig Leon, Jon Hassell, Marc Barreca or Clúster. The project expands on these influences, delving into a hypnotic and shimmering sound world that finds common ground with artists like O Yuki Conjugate, Bitchin Down, K. Leimer or Kreidler.
The visuals for this performance are made by Vic Pereiró, who has participated in numerous documentary projects, of cinema, television and research from 1999, collaborating and promoting different audiovisual producers. memory, struggle and utopia are the three fundamental concepts on which his work revolves, understanding his artistic practice as an act of militancy that, from commitment and action, challenges the aggressiveness of the environment and contemporary chaos. Part of his work reflects the existing imbalance and points to possible solutions to the conflict.
