Prolific saxophonist Boštjan Simon’s (Velkro, Trus!, Litošt, There Be Monsters, etc.) recent band explores the synthesis of acoustic and electronic music – a context shared by many of his projects. The sounds produced live by the two musicians are processed though a synthesizer that gets to play, by way of its feedback, the role of the third band member. This machine-generated interference simultaneously inspires the musicians to weave even more hypnotic, but also dance patterns punctuated by flights into improvisation. Lina Rica’s visuals serve to further heighten the entrancing quality of the music.
