DÆMON + Beatrix Weapons + Nazar & Rob Heppell
Within the programming of
Electrónica en Abril 2022| Duration: | 3 hours |
Experimentation, mutated textures and introspective darkness will wash over the courtyard on Saturday evening, inviting us to venture into intensely intimate and revealing worlds.
DÆMON
The vocalist and percussionist DÆMON will be accompanied by the DJ and producer Xzavier Stone to offer us a show where the sounds of the alternative diaspora, such as footwork, will be the protagonists.
Incorporating sounds from the fringes of club music from around the world, DÆMON's distinctive vocal precision paves the way through his uncompromisingly provocative and narrative sets. In his lyrics he embraces his most 'emo' and honest side to share his vision of the world around him and the abstract ideas that are built in his head.
Beatrix Weapons
Murcia native Beatrix Weapons is one of the most promising young stars on today's Spanish electronic scene. An experimental music producer, thinker and visual artist, Beatrix is a member of Música Dispersa’s Women in Experimental collective and conveys her message through melancholic melodies and agitated rhythms in order to construct airy, post-harmonic sessions: a multidisciplinary project that debates sound concepts on stage using IDM, glitch, industrial and other sounds.
Nazar & Rob Heppell
After Hyberdub released his first EP, Enclave, in late 2018, Angolan artist Nazar has carved out a niche for himself on the music scene thanks to his complex and utterly unique sound, which he calls rough kuduro. He narrates memories of his family and his country’s past by intertwining oral histories, political realities and, more importantly, the reimagined horrors of the war he witnessed. Nazar’s music, often perceived as dramatic and chaotic, is an extraordinary, impressionistic reinterpretation of modern Angolan music steeped in layers of personal and collective experience.
On this occasion, Nazar is accompanied by Rob Heppell, a London-based visual artist and film director who works with visual effects and uses reconstruction processes to generate abstract landscapes for action films.
He has recently worked on installations and projections for Jamila Johnson Small and Gaika, the Nine Nights collective, Cottweiler and Daniel Swan. His creations have also been commissioned and exhibited at Somerset House, Tate Britain, Corsica Studios, ICA and Vooruit.
