KALYUG FESTIVAL - friday 7 october @ NK -

- CINDYTALK (UK / Editions Mego) - http://www.cindytalk.com/

Since the 1980's Cindytalk managed to inovate with its unique atmospheres, from the early post punk to the melancholic ambient music for piano to abstract digital sound sculpting flirting with clicks and cuts or noise.
With the time the project became a collective centered around the singer Gordon Sharp (who appeared on some This Mortal Coil releases) who recently released two CD's on Editions Mego.

- LAST DOMINION LOST (AUS/DE / Tesco) - http://www.myspace.com/lastdominionlost

Last Dominion Lost has existed since 1992, formed out of the ashes of Merge (a project created by Dominik Guerin, founding member of SPK, and Jon Evans). With the inclusion of John Murphy (ex-SPK, Whitehouse, Current 93, D**th In June), the transition was complete. In April of 1992 the recording sessions for what was to become „The Tyranny of Distance“ began (released on Germany's Tesco Records). 16 years later, the opportunity arose to reform the slumbering project. With the welcome addition of Ash Wednesday (Crashlands, Einstürzende Neubauten) and Julian Percy (Ratbag) initial recordings and rehearsals began in May of 2008.
Last Dominion Lost. Discography: The Tyranny of Distance: Tesco Organisation 2004 tracks appear on: Statement 1961 „Hell to Pay (Warts and All...)“: Ironflame Berlin Bruit „Perdue“: Ironflame Schlagstrom Vol. 4 „The Shell in the Chamber“: Sleepless Records

- C-DRIK (BE / Syrphe Records) - http://www.syrphe.com/

C-drík has been involved in numerous projects such as Axiome, Ambre, Dead HollYwood Stars, Tetra Plok and many more. His music covers everything between electronica, experimental and digital punk. He is also the man behind the label Syrphe, mainly focused on producing electronic and experimental music from Asia and Africa.

- HELAAS (FR/AUS) - http://helaasproject.blogspot.com/

The newly formed HELAAS project is the sonic encounter of the four Berlin-based artists BEX (soon on RuR), NIEDOWIERZANIE, RATBAG (also in Last Dominion Lost) and YVAN VOLOCHINE. A psychedelic noise-drone mamouth where each of the four protagonists leaves his mark, yet achieving coherence in a first album which is at the same time harsh and subtle, grating and warm, and at times highly lyrical. Somewhere between NWW and Troum, with a post-rock touch and cool packaging.

KALYUG FESTIVAL - saturday 8 october @ NK

- MUSHROOM'S PATIENCE (IT/ Atro.fact/Klanggalerie) - http://www.artcraf.it/

Italian avantgarde band based in Rome. Their music melts acid jazz, noise, electronics, experimental sounds and improvisation.
They formed in the early 1980s and released various cassette demos via their own label Atropina Manufactory. The debut on vinyl came in 1991 with "Dicer's Oath". Mushroom's Patience continued to exist in the underground and to release very limited and hard to find material, until they signed for Austrian label Hau Ruck!, which reissued many of their deleted records on vinyl, as well as brand-new works on CD.
Raffaele Cerroni (aka Dither Craf, aka Domus Craf) is the mastermind, leader and solo member of Mushroom's Patience. Many different people were part of the band during the years, for example Jürgen Weber and Frl. Tost (Novy Svet), ClauDEDI (Ain Soph) and Flavio Rivabella (Der Bekannte Post-Industrielle Trompeter).
Since 2010, Mushroom's Patience are signed to Klanggalerie who will continue to release music by this outstanding project.

- WERMUT (FR/DE / Reue Um Reue) - http://www.lecoeurdumonde.com/

WERMUT was founded in 2001 in Hamburg, Germany, by Laszlo P.S. and Sofia E.R..
WERMUT’s music has been said to escape any easy or strict genre-labelling, always balancing between 80s–style minimal-electro and post-industrial. In recent years, their sound has seen a marked evolution towards a more progressive approach, acknowledging such influences as Berlin School, Kraut-Rock, guitar-drones and Cascadian Post-BM… Moving insidiously from post-apocalyptic minimal-wave to psychedelic prog-electro, WERMUT still claim Tradition in general and the works of French metaphysician René Guénon in particular as their main and ever-growing source of inspiration.
Their works so far have been released on OLD EUROPA CAFÉ, KERNKRACH, ENFANT TERRIBLE and PUNCH RECORDS, as well as on their own (T)REUE UM (T)REUE label, and include collaborations with NOVY SVET, HIS DIVINE GRACE, ECHO WEST, FIENDISH FIB, Ô PARADIS and AIT!
In 2008, Laszlo and Sofia have been joined by multi-instrumentalist Leo from the experimental project NIEDOWIERZANIE. Other occasional members include Falko Grau on drums, Formalhaut B on saxophone and D.B.P.I.U. (Die Bekannten Post-Industriellen Urpferde) on additional vocals.

- ESCAMA SERRADA (ES / Reue Um Reue) - http://www.myspace.com/caballoamor

Barcelona-based post-industrial project. In the two years since “La Reina està mala” (their debut split-CD with Ô Paradis on Tourette Records), the band around S. Méndez has moved from musical Dadaism to musical Surrealism, leaving behind some of the more cabaret influences to develop a darker, more psychedelic, almost prog-rock sound, and thus find their very own sonic identity. If the collage aesthetics remain, the incantatory, “écriture automatique” vocals and above all R. Riba’s psyché rock guitar input invest the opus with a surreal, intensely ritualistic mood, between shamanic trance and psychedelic improvisation. Reminiscences of Faust, NWW and Richard Pinhas lurk around the sinuous coils of this Echis Carinatus, which will slither its way under your skin like the serpent of the same name.

- NATURE MORTE (FR / Reue Um Reue) - http://naturemorte.net/

Time to take another deep, deep breath and open your inner eye... You are standing on the cliffs at the end of the world, looking upon the abandoned ruins of a rainy and stormy aftermath. A bitter sense of loss and solitude washes over you, and yet you feel the comfort of some distant paradise lost. You see clouds drifting apart as cones of sunlight fall on the remains of what once was.

New release: DOULEURFANTOME / NATURE MORTE - "When Trees Fall Down" (Cass, Reue um Reue)
Two projects, two styles, one darkness...
