Numerous
are the musicians who adopt the DIY tack and launch record labels to document
their work. Relatively few are those that can claim an enterprise founded by
others with the express purpose of releasing their music. Joe McPhee holds that
latter distinction thanks to Werner X Uehlinger and the Hat Hut imprint. Up to
1975, McPhee had been dividing his time between occasional teaching engagements
at Vassar College and a day gig at a factory in his hometown of Poughkeepsie,
NY, fitting music into the time between and off from both. The Willisau Concert, Uehlinger’s second release on his fledgling
label, documents an eponymous Swiss leg of a European tour undertaken by McPhee
and his colleague John Synder in the fall of that year. South African drummer Makaya
Ntshoko joined the group, but the chemistry between the three players was
apparently off leading to a truncating of the tour soon after.
V India hraje na kytaru Tomáš Kopáček (Black Tar Jesus, Tempelhof, Latviri…) a svoji už tak legendární kytarovou hru po odchodu do Budějic přetransformoval na úroveň monstrum a k sobě si přibral dva (skoro) lokální klasiky: Sokola (Nuly, Microvomit…) a Bejbiše (DAT, Benelux, Kidney Trauma…). S repetitivním kytarovým zvukem u nás pracuje málokdo lépe než právě India, energická intenzivní nálož ale opouští hranice žánru a je schopná zaujmout širší nezávislou posluchačskou scénu. Space rock, woodstock, krautrock.
Jéromé Noetinger & Aude Romary Jérôme Noetinger is one of the driving forces in the French experimental music scene. He is a member of Cellule D’Intervention Metamkine (a group that manipulates image and sound via 16 mm projectors), he asserts himself both solo and in collaborations (Lionel Marchetti, Michel Chion, Kevin Drumm …) with field recordings, feedback & tape recorders, he writes for French magazine Revue et corrigée and he manages Metamkine (a record label and international distributor of experimental music). He has been working with experimental French cellist Aude Romary since 2014, a collaboration that was documented on the brilliant CD Discordes (Centre Culturel André Malraux, 2017). Cello, tape recorders, microphones & loudspeakers are the musical weapons of choice with which Noetinger and Romary allow a surprising electro-acoustic world of sound to bloom. https://vimeo.com/105279691

Povstanie pokračuje je antifašistický festival organizovaný pri príležitosti výročia Slovenského národného povstania 25.-30. augusta 2017 v Bratislave. Jeho hlavnou myšlienkou je vzdanie úcty ľuďom, ktorí sa aktívne zapojili do boja proti neľudskej fašistickej ideológii v minulosti a šírenie hodnôt tolerancie, antirasizmu a antifašizmu v súčasnosti. Séria antifašistických akcií sa počas týchto dní odohrá na Námestí SNP, v klube FUGA, pri Moste SNP, ako aj priamo v uliciach Starého Mesta.
