OCEANO / Sept ’21

Long days we passed inside an aquarium. Then, all of a sudden, we were thrown into the sea. Or was it a bigger tub? Now is the time to swim in free waters. Stretch your fins and get ready to dig deep into the great ocean. We open the new season with the stormy waves of Maria Violenza and her Mediterranean synth-punk. Supported by spectral DJ sets by Ondula and Yief, you’re in for a treat (Saturday 4th). From Tuesday 7th onwards, we welcome the producer Marta Salogni, for a three-day residency that will return Atlantis to its former splendor. To follow, the prismatic art of composer Massimo Carozzi, who will lead us into a fast-flowing stream of new sounds (Saturday 11). Next up, a night with the refined noise music of Julie Semoroz and Emma Souharce, and a set by interdisciplinary artist Teresa Cos (Wednesday 15). Coming next, we’re in for a sea of world sounds, with DJ collective Psychophono, supported by Diereva and the duo Socotra! (Saturday 25). We end with the release party of the debut album by Francesco Sistro, who will get us lost in a wave of scattered voices. Supported by the experimental pop by Nicol Bana, there will be freshwater for everyone (Tuesday 28). Plus other incursions and swims to be announced soon. Take a dip!

Maria Violenza + Ondula/Yief

Maria Violenza

Cristina Cusimano, originally from Sicily, got fully involved in the Italian connexion of La Grande Triple Alliance Internationale de l’Est. This federation of compulsory bands - the Normals, the Feeling Of Love, Scorpion Violente, Black Boy Georges, Delacave... just to name a few of them - was originally based in Eastern France (the Nancy, Metz and Strasbourg’s triple axes) and brought a huge blast in the French garage, psyche, noisy or weirdos sound, which made the heydays of great labels such as Yakisakana Records, Nasty Records, Roccoco Records...They quickly established a strong link with the Roman scene: the Intellectuals, Motorama or Capputtini I Lignu.
She came back in the mid-teenies with a solo project which has been smashing everything on its path: Maria Violenza. The sound? Groovy electro-beat on the drum machines, loud gothic sounding organs’ riffs, minimalist guitar lines and side-drums heavy strikes, all of them being recorded, step by step, during her live sessions, and being set on continuous loops. When this dark synth-pop musical part has been set up, she goes for some punctuated, intimist and moody depressive lyrics with her aggressive, but melodious, voice and raps on a hip-hop way, alternating French, English and native speaking.

Ondula

Ondula delivers through her musical approach an unorthodox way to reach the emotions behind the shell. Finding her roots in radio and sound-collage, she has been active in music for over a decade, collecting and exploring. Whether selecting musical oddities, organizing community-based events as resident of the Berliner club Sameheads, with the party Diapason; recording hypnotic grooves and tape manipulations, as part of the electronic music duo As Longitude or with her solo experimentations as Laura Odl, she always will try to find a conscious listener to share her universe.

Yief

PlaYing for the sake of plaYing. Young dj & independent music aficionado, Pablo Yief offers a collection of unusual songs for uncomplicated people. One of the various artists behind Real No Real, a free-form platform organizing DIY concerts in Madrid since 2017. A radio regular contributor, he's running the Freak Caravan show, a series of singular mixtapes recorded by friends within a large, borderless community.

Semoroz/Souharce + Teresa Cos

Semoroz/Souharce

The artists Julie Semoroz and Emma Souharce (Geneve) have been collaborating since 2018 with the duo Effraction Vacances, constant improvisations taking root on the pop music of the 1990s / 2000s - different each time - which presents itself as a decomposed sculpture.
For this new form, Semoroz and Souharce play on wide dynamic ranges inspired by both Instagram culture and drone music, without getting close to any of those.

With the support of: Pro Helvetia, State of Geneva and SIS

FRI 17 SEPTEMBER

Hérisson Fort

Hérisson Fort

Hérisson Fort was born from one of the all too rare collaborations between Riccardo Moro (I) and Grégoire Fiaux (CH), co-founders of the label Mais Para Baixo. The duo here chooses to orient themselves towards dizzying music with repetitive and haunting accents. To the dissonant arpeggiated layers of keyboards and autoharp is added a frantically electric guitar and sulphurous melodica. A discreet song accompanies these long evolving sound tracks where the structure is inseparable from the more improvised moments. A passionate dialogue between two music-loving friends with universes both so similar and so different. Do not miss.

Francesco Sistro (release party) + Nicol Bana

Francesco Sistro

Francesco Sistro works like a blender. Kin to plunderphonics and especially to drum fills and bridges from classic IDM, they revels in voice-based music and nonmusic. Harsh, rhythmic and improv, sometimes panoramic, they uses a sampler and voice, with no catharsis at the horizon at the end of the beat.

Nicol Bana

Nicol Bana is a music producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. She writes in Italian, samples noises from everyday life and organizes them into collages, half electronic music half avant-pop, accompanying herself with synths and a guitar.
