He reaches for the nether regions of experimental electronic sound and has established himself as an acknowledged soundscape artist. <br>His music is a choice of dark, brooding layers of sound, high-pitched  tones and weird electronic sounds that give birth to images of darkness  and tranquillity, the solitude of an icy polar night or the equivalent  of an underwater journey into a bottomless pit. The soundscapes are  created by the use of found samples and field- recordings processed on  the computer. No traditional instruments are involved. Performing live,  Chris Sigdell relies on various electric toys and gadgets whose sound is  put through a number of effect pedals. <br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/btongmusic\/about\/?ref=page_internal\">facebook.com\/pg\/btongmusic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <strong>Re-Drum<\/strong> is a project of Pavel Aleshin, experimental musician from Russia. He uses field recordings and found sounds, his own voice, acoustic instruments and non musical objects to create a living environment, oscilating from warm calmness to ritualistic depths.

We aim the coexistence with nature,  civilization and machinery in a better balance. <br>Our performance is absolute improvisation such as most primitive  style. We make our sounds based on the animal instinct of the natural  human beings.<br>\u201cQuruku\u201d and \u201cIco\u201d are imaginary performers, who are created by our  programming. They record and reproduce sounds freely away from human  intention. By joining them our music becomes more accidental and full of  uncertainties.<br>Not only the music, we display digital images also impromptu besides the sounds to make our performance more impressive.<br>We try to create a work with the viewpoint of \u201cexperience of space\u201d.  We try to express with our performance the peaceful world filled of love  with coexisting nature, civilization and machinery. <br><a href=\"http:\/\/takkiduda.com\">takkiduda.com<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>06.05.2019, doors open at 20:00, starts at 20:30<br>Admission 8 Euros<br>INM \u2013 Institut f\u00fcr Neue Medien, Schmickstra\u00dfe 18, 60314 Frankfurt am Main<br>Entrance is on the right side of the building, then go all the way to the top.<br><a href=\"http:\/\/inm.de\">inm.de<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/xeroxex.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/XE044-1024x571.png\" alt=\"XE#044\" class=\"wp-image-1005\" width=\"800\" height=\"428\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>B\u00b0TONG is Chris Sigdell, former member of the German experimental industrial group NID (1995 &#8211; 2005).
