The second day of the Dead Mind Festival, October 11, is organised in collaboration with Jim of Charnel Ground, our favourite promoter of noise shows, and OCCII, our favourite venue in Amsterdam.
⠀
Kazumoto Endo is invited to deliver a second blast of intense, dynamic harsh noise and will be joined by two collaborative projects, both performing live for the first time ever: Corpse Magnetism, featuring Rudolf Eb.er, and Musica Divina, featuring Vincent Dallas and Ilkka Vekka aka Haare. It might be your only chance to see these projects live, so make sure you don’t sleep on this.
⠀
Violent Shogun is coming over from France, and we asked Awenydd to open the evening at 19:30 sharp, after witnessing his flawless performance at the Crude Transmissions Festival.

Coming up next week (August 26th) at Patch Studios in The Hague!

Patch Studios & Charnel Ground present an evening of free improvisation, noise and electroacoustic soundscapes with:

Beam Splitter (US/NO):

Beam Splitter are: Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø (NO) and Audrey Chen (US). Using the trombone and voice, they maneuver a balance between fragility, intimacy, the ecstatic and measured control. They share a common sense of pulse and an inherent understanding of the way they each aurally manage and let go of every consecutive moment. The lungs release through to mouths to bell, back and forth like a tactile breathing exchange.

Audrey Chen (US):

Audrey Chen is a 2nd generation Taiwanese-American musician. Her playing explores the combination and layering of an analog synthesizer, preparations and traditional and extended techniques in both the voice and cello. She works to join these elements into a singular ecstatic personal language.

Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø (NO):

Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø is a musician and sound artist focusing on trombone performance, as well as compositional projects utilizing heavy amplification of the brass instrument alongside external sound sources like half-clarinet and various noise generators.

RND (KR/BE)

RND are: Jiyoung Wi (KR) and Lawrence McGuire (BE).

Lawrence McGuire (1997, is a composer based between The Hague and Brussels. Vocality, in its production as well as perception, is the main topic of his experimental practice. His work can be situated somewhere on the continuum of computer music and sound poetry highlighting the interplay between existing languages and non-languages.

Jiyoung Wi is a multi-faceted artist from Seoul, Korea currently residing in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Jiyoung’s work can be situated within fictional literature, improvised music, field recording, with an interest in juxtaposing or disjointing these fields of practice through her sonic and literary methodologies.

Coming up this saturday (August 22nd) at Resistor, Leiden! An evening of noise, heavy electronics and cut-up with:

JHK (US)

JHK, is the NYC based solo experimental electronics project of Jackson H. Kovalchik who began using the moniker in 2018. JHK’s output incorporates detailed and textural moments of cassette manipulation, utilizing an organic and manufactured palette. Much of the work establishes composition with throughlines of synthesized undertones culminating in entropic pedal abuse.

Scathing (US)

Scathing is a harsh noise project by Kenny Brieger from Austin Texas, active since 2016.

Kiran Arora (UK)

Psychedelic, mind-bending and body-shifting, Kiran Arora pushes the classicism of American harsh noise further, towards something new. A feverish dive into the heart of a crackling magnetic swamp.

Kryptogen Rundfunk (NL)

Kryptogen Rundfunk is an experimental sound project based in Amstelveen, The Netherlands. The project works with analogue electronics, radio waves, electromagnetic interference and found sounds, creating sophisticated aural images, often exploring extreme areas of the sonic spectrum.

Doors: 20:30
Damage: €8

Negative Output was nothing short but amazing. 2 days of outstanding live sets by all involved. From start to finish everyone delivered, be it the performing projects, the N.O. crew or The White Hotel's very capable technical crew.

A special shoutout goes out to Lucifer Sky and Petrichor for opening both days and setting the bar for everyone to follow.

Thanks again to Matt and Scott for flying me over and taking good care of everyone. This scene needs people who are willing to take risks to allow for something so important and new to grow. Last but not least congratulations to the UK for having an amazingly new festival which is being run for all the right reasons. If you missed out this year.. you better get your ass to the next one!
