The Necks (Australian improv(heavy) trio) being one of the most beautifully psychedelic live experiences this contributor has had in recent years (in a way where I was grateful I was only under the influence of caffeine). the rest also looks pretty exciting, Kurek presenting a “surreal-pastoral” acoustic-ish ensemble piece his enchanting Smartwoods album has been on this author’s heavy rotation recently) and Forcini doing doing wild “animistic” things to her modular synthesizer

Organ Tapes = London experimental “post-internet underground” (what is post-internet?) songwriter that I’m pretty excited to get more into (Update: I got more into it and am now even more excited); Ugne Uma sings gorgeous soul-y things and while she had an incredible run of collabs with e.g. Sam Gendel, Schatterau or Kirk Barley, her last year’s solo debut is really amazing; Bara&Isa are well loved half-local tender-ambientish-songs-duo

Very interesting start to what will probably also be a club night? So far we got a prolific noise-jazz-lowkeyevenmetal-psych group, see Medicine Ball for improv krautrock jams; an experimental vocalist and drone/doom worshipper of Kali (the goddess); and London-lofi-cool producer and Relaxin Records label head that recently put out her Monopoly of Mistakes album full of Drexciyan pop bangers; the lineup now got filled out by the usual suspect local heavy-hitter DJs, experimental live electronic artists of different flavours; some names still a bit cryptic to me but Atzzi On The Beat looking like a potential highlight

all the way from psychoacoustic ambient via folk pop to louder experimental ensembles; Omid Darwish and Anna Lindenbaum sadly had to cancel; Yasmina Haddad added (normally she plays pretty slow DJ sets focussing around but not at all limited to Arab experimental music ); and Saint Abdullah & Eomac sound like a sick production + sampling collab and seem to be around in very cool experimental & politically radical communities

Review: tender matter hot summer (8.8.)
I specifically came there for Mursal’s solo drum set and it was about as magical as I’d hoped for; more than half an hour of free-sounding drumming of different intensities, she also worked with recordings of her mother (apologies for not recalling if more about this was explained), and ended up including screaming. Wish I had better words but overall the feeling was one of sincerity, presence and I really wanna say smth like gentleness?, and I’m very glad I made the trek up
