This week's brilliantly programmed opening events at La Gaîté Lyrique continue with another stellar lineup.
Thomas Ankersmit is a 30 year old saxophonist, electronic musician and installation artist born and raised in the Netherlands and now primarily based in Berlin who combines abstract, intensely focused saxophone playing with hyper-kinetic analogue synth and computer improvisation. He also creates installation pieces that use sound, infrasound and "modifications to the acoustic characters of spaces" that disrupt the viewer/listener's perception of the exhibition space and their presence within it. He frequently works together with New York minimalist
Phill Niblock and Sicilian electroacoustic improviser
Valerio Tricoli, and other collaborators, mostly for live performances, have included
Tony Conrad,
Maryanne Amacher, Jim O'Rourke,
Kevin Drumm and
Borbetomagus.
Matthew Herbert needs little introduction - his musique concrète methods applied to dance structures resulted in some of the most influential house music of the last two decades, and is widely credited with the creation of the microhouse genre.
Also on the bill tonight -
YACHT, a band that are seeing huge hype at the minute; and king of the cheeky edit
Pilooski.
