Haekem: TONERO X SANCHEZ | Wed Jun 28th | 8PM

Improvised Experimental Music

TONERO X SANCHEZ

Wednesday June 28th | 8PM

TOMORROW

Situated at the intersections of experimental music, free improvisation and performance art, Paula Sanchez’ work is focused on the composition/decomposition and destruction/re-construction of a mutable sound space. With a markedly interdisciplinary profile, she first found her voice as a performer, interpreter and composer in the fields of theater and performance. She stands out for her use of extended techniques and unconventional ways of playing, working with materials like plastic, glass and elements from nature combined with voice and electronics. Hers is the pure presence of an embodied sound which invents its relationships as it makes its way into nothingness. 

She will be share the stage by Andrea Tonero, pianist, composer by training (Arts2 - Mons) and electronic autodidact. Passionate about the relationships between musicians during the intimate moment that is the concert, he is in search of the tacit understanding that unites sound universes.  

Accustomed to the prepared piano, it is here with his modular synthesizer that he will bring sound to life, either it be tender and meditative, or sharp and ferocious.

EMS Synthi AKS

(EN.Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMS_Synthi_AKS)

"Synthi AKS is portable modular analog synthesisers made by EMS of England.

In 2020, the average price for a Synthi AKS in good condition was around US$20,000 on the international market.

The Synthi AKS has been used extensively by Brian Eno in his art rock and ambient albums. He particularly made prominent use of its signal-chain editing capability in order to add colour to his own voice as well as Robert Fripp and Phil Manzanera's guitar work. His early band, Roxy Music, supposedly requested that he join them after watching him tinker with the Synthi AKS for only a few minutes.[citation needed]

Tangerine Dream used several Synthi AKS's throughout the early 1970s.

Jean-Michel Jarre featured the Synthi AKS on his albums Oxygène and Équinoxe, as well as on Oxygène: Live in Your Living Room.

Pink Floyd used the synthesiser to create the electronic riff of the track "On the Run" and to play the solo of "Any Colour You Like", both from the 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon. (The band was reported to use an EMS VCS 3 synthesizer although it actually was a Synthi).[citation needed]

Jorge Antunes used Synthi A throughout the early 1970s with his ensemble GEMUNB Grupo de Experimentação Musical da Universidade de Brasília.

Czesław Niemen in 1975 used Synthi AKS in recording of his album Katharsis.

Tone Generator Aka Dom Guerin AKS synthesizer on SPK (band) Information Overload Unit & subsequent tours of US & England.

Klaus Schulze and Pete Namlook refer to Synthi AKS in the name of their collaboration album The Dark Side of the Moog VIII: Careful With the AKS, Peter.

Kraftwerk's Florian Schneider used one to process his flute on early albums including Radio-Activity in 1974.

In 1980, American pop band The Bongos used the Synthi AKS on both sides of their debut single "Telephoto Lens" b/w "Glow in the Dark", played by Dennis Kelley. In 2010, lead singer Richard Barone again used the Synthi on his album Glow, produced by Tony Visconti. It is featured prominently on the song "Yet Another Midnight".

In 2013, a Japanese artist Yoshio Machida made an album "Music from the SYNTHI". This album was made by only Synthi AKS.

In 2017 Jean-Marc Foussat and Georgios Karamanolakis released a 12-inch experimental record lp "Substunce sans Scrupule" that was composed solely of two (2) Ems Synthi AKS machines and an EMS phase shifter unit."

Zemlya’s “earth, land” is formed by spherical drone layers, distortion and crashing cymbals, from which their own meditative, metallic sound world arises. Through their live performance, Geraldine Vanspauwen (Lazzaro) and Maan Methven enter into an energy-driven dialogue between drums, bass guitar and voice, that connects clarity and distortion, finds intimacy in feedback, and explores both rough noise and uplifting silence, soaking in the deeper fields of imagined landscapes, inspired by the sounds and rhythms of their inner bodies and surroundings.

SIMON HALSBERGHE /BE
(electronics, experimental, dance, techno)
SIMON HALSBERGHE improvises his music, constantly exploring new possibilities and offering a unique and evolving electronic sound. Like a scientist, he focuses on the concept of time, creating an intriguing rhythm that defies traditional dance tempo. He achieves this by blending hardware machines with computer music, resulting in a sound that transports listeners to new and unknown territories, which Simon often discovers at the same moment as the listener, causing both to face the present and immerse themselves in the experience.
In addition to his solo work, Simon has composed music for theatre productions. He was awarded the prize for Best Soundtrack at the Angers Film Festival in France for his work on the animated short film "Kitten Instinct" by Liesbet Eeckman. Simon has also worked as a DJ and composer for the fashion industry, creating tailor-made shows for top designers such as Gianni Versace and Christopher Kane.
Previously, Simon released music under different names, including Pitch & Hold (Love Triangle Music), Simon Hold (Vlek Records) and Habergeon (Gentle Tapes).
