Klang Kunst Konzert
Kuratoren Albert Plank
Vier Musiker aus Kanada, Japan, Polen und Deutschland spielen einzelne Sets und miteinander:
In Spring 2016, Holzkopf will be touring in support of their completely new and most dense music yet. A mix of raw trash bent into dub song structures, layered walls of melodic noise, jungle, sci fi basslines and wild dives into digital feedback experiments done lo-fi style on a single sampler. Loose rhythms are key. Colliding noises set to a pulse. Deep space apocalyptic dub.
Beginning in 2001, Holzkopf has worked in many different styles with very little firm lines between them: from microsound experiments, (almost) slapstick collage and deep ambient music to gospel influenced industrial electronics, harsh noise dub and fast paced, cut-up dance music. A decidedly non-traditional musician, they have mainly used tape recorders for cuts and scratches as opposed to turntables, mixing board feedback and raw circuits in place of synthesizers and budget bin, low bit rate samplers.
Holzkopf has shared bills with Merzbow, DJ Olive, William Hooker, Venetian Snares, John Oswald, Knurl, Alan Moore, Richard Bishop, Scanner, Chris Corsano, Keiji Haino, Emil Beaulieau, Botborg, Sam Shalabi, Foxdye and many others. They have performed at events and festivals such as the Boreal Electro-Acoustic Music Society concert series (Edmonton, Canada), the Vancouver Jazz Festival, Vancouver New Music Festival, Big Joy (Vancouver, Canada), SOTU (Amsterdam, Netherlands), 4D (Chichibu, Japan), DRMK Noise Festival (Ljubljana, Slovenia), Blue Monday (Mexico City, DF), Body Machine Body (Tallinn, Estonia), Lab30 (Augsburg, Germany), Angura (Vancouver, Canada) among others. They have also performed at spaces like the Danish Institute for Electro-Acoustic Music (Aarhus, Denmark) as well as many artist run centres like Latitude 53 (Edmonton, Canada) and Modern Fuel (Kingston, Canada). During the touring grind, Holzkopf sometimes plays in a dozen countries over the course of a one month trip. They have played hundreds of concerts on farms, under bridges, and in squats, bars, galleries, and houses over several tours of Europe and Canada, and on trips to the USA, Japan and Mexico.

EMERGE is inspired by the minimalist traditions of experimentalism and non-academic noise music, focusing on generating sound structures intended to make atmospheres emerge that are open to each listener’s own interpretation. The choice of sound sources used is usually very limited. In most cases only rudiments of the original sounds are recognizable due to various treatments. EMERGE also uses and recycles raw material from a variety of artists/musicians.

Performance introduction
Japan-based Unii is a sound artist and singer-songwriter Her live performances evoke an awkwardly beautiful and elegant soundscape that brings into existence a slowed-down universe of whispery singspeak, delicate coos, multitracked echoes, reconstituted field recordings, digital clicks and blips, tempered noise and unorthodox beats.
