VR/AV Performance by @xces.exe during @avx_festival

Lights: @ksawerykomputery @ausgang.studio @lumus.instruments

A project by composer and performer tOmO, XCES VR focuses on creating sonically aggressive and emotionally intense post-genre music. It is an improvised solo performance using MIDI controllers in virtual reality that begins from zero, with a large set of digital instruments and effects divided into two groups: chaos and order. Using these tools, tOmO sculpts bleak atmospheres, assaults the listener with piercing digital glitches, and commands an uncompromising machinery of drums and bass lines before culminating in a monolithic wall of harsh noise.

Že v pondelok nemôže byť dobrý koncert? Opak je pravdou. 4. mája to u nás ovládne kapela Shearling!
Duchovný nástupca dnes už neexistujúcej kapely Sprain, je výsledkom 10 ročnej spolupráce Alexandra Kenta a Sylvie Simmons. Kapela bola počas prvého roku svojej existencie prevažne tichá, vyhýbala sa živým vystúpeniam a namiesto toho sa sústredila na svoj drzý debutový album „Motherfucker, I am Both: „Amen“ a „Hallelujah“…“. Agresívne živé vystúpenia kapely Shearling a precízne nahrávky demonštrujú ambíciu, odvahu a emocionálnu zraniteľnosť, s ktorou sa len málo súčasných kapiel dokáže vyrovnať. A treba povedať jedno - Shearling raz budú stáť na veľkých pódiách. Poďte si ich u nás užiť v komornej atmosfére podpalubia!

A k tomu ako čerešnička na torte najlepší možný domáci support v podobe XCES solo.

✵ The Ills ✵ Xces (solo) ✵ Hmota ✵ / PINK WHALE

A ďalší krásny koncert pred nami! Naše obľúbené kapely posledný februárový deň v našom podpalubí.

The Ills sú slovenské post-rockové kvarteto, známe svojím silným a prepracovaným zvukom, ktorý spája prvky shoegazu, math-rocku a prog-rocku. Ich hudba sa vyznačuje hutnými a hlučnými zvukovými plochami, vycibrenými vzájomne sa dopĺňajúcimi gitarovými vyhrávkami a podmanivými basovými linkami. Sú pre nich charakteristické predovšetkým živé vystúpenia, v ktorých sa hudobné majstrovstvo a intímne pasáže spájajú s až punkovou živelnosťou a metalovou tvrdosťou.

XCES (solo) je tOmOv sólový set postavený na výrazne uletenom, ale vzato rafinovanom vokálnom prejave od spevu, cez rap, vreskot až po rôzne špeciálne vokalizácie podporeným DIY hexafonickou gitarou a digitálnymi nástrojmi na MIDI kontroléroch, ale taktiež aj vo virtuálnej realite.
Prechádza výberom rôznych skladieb vydaných ako XCES, niekedy s prísnym poriadkom, inokedy s rozsiahlou improvizáciou a experimentovaním, a nevyhýba sa ani remixom/mashupom/dekonštrukciám iných diel.

Slovenská post-metalová kapela H M O T A sa pohybuje na hranici zvukového experimentovania, kde sa ťažké, skreslené tóny prelínajú s filmovou ambientnou atmosférou. Temnota a melanchólia sa v ich hudbe spájajú s mocnými výbuchmi energie, ktoré radi premieňajú do podoby živého performansu.
Kapela čerpá inšpiráciu z legiend ako Neurosis, Cult of Luna, Deftones, TOOL a Joy Division, no
zároveň si buduje vlastný zvukový vesmír. Priateľstvo medzi členmi kapely je kľúčovým pilierom ich
tvorby, ktorá vyrastá zo spoločnej cesty sprevádzanej blízkymi priateľmi, ktorí pridávajú ruku k
existencii tohto malého, no silného hudobného projektu. Vďaka tomu zostáva ich umenie a
performancia živá na domácej a undergroundovej scéne.

Projekt kompozytora i performera tOmO @echterosandorenmonst . XCES VR koncentruje się na tworzeniu dźwiękowo agresywnej i emocjonalnie intensywnej muzyki postgatunkowej. Jest to improwizowany występ solowy z użyciem kontrolerów MIDI w wirtualnej rzeczywistości, który zaczyna się od zera, z dużym zestawem cyfrowych instrumentów i efektów podzielonych na dwie grupy: chaos i porządek. Korzystając z tych narzędzi, tOmO rzeźbi ponure pejzaże dźwiękowe, atakuje słuchacza przenikliwymi cyfrowymi glitchami i kieruje bezkompromisową machiną perkusji oraz linii basu, by ostatecznie doprowadzić do monolitycznej ściany brutalnego hałasu.

"Paleolithic emotions...
Medieval institutions...
God like technology..."
• E. O. Wilson
What could go wrong you might ask?

A headphones only sonic journey through post-apocalyptic landscapes, lifeless industrial assembly lines, surgery in an automated operating theatre all the way to the point of no return.

Distilled/edited from various compositions/sound design works for @ausgang.studio similarly bleak, futuristic multimedia installations created between the years 2023-2025, namely:
Tentacles
Spawn X Point
IVY
ATEM

Some of it is conventionally musical, some of it is more of a "sonic experience" but it's tailored very much with a clear linear narrative so please if you wanna listen to it, find your time, lay down in bed, close your eyes and take this experience/story as a whole (as if it was a movie unfolding in your head). Otherwise it doesn't make much sense listening to it to be honest.

And btw if you are an owner of Sony WH-XM series headphones you are lucky as it was mixed precisely for these on bluetooth mode (volume -5 down from max for peak intended experience). Otherwise I encourage you to figure out the volume during the first track and let it roll.
Enjoy

Besides AUSGANG Studio extra thank:
@stefantomko_ for contributions on sound design+mix/master on the track from Spawn X Point performance
@tonariumlab and @fundacjasoundscape for amazing residency where Spawn X Point was created and performed by @xces.exe
