Alfredo Genovesi [London] - electric guitar + effects
Gerri Jaeger [Austria] - drums

Debut of the new psychedelic improv rock trio formed by the free improvising electronic guitarist Alfredo Genovesi. Using an array of pedal effects, found objects, samplers and external sound sources, Alfredo constructs multi-layered soundscapes that enable him to fluctuate between diverse and colourful soundworlds. He is joined by the rockin' Brown Vs Brown drummer Gerri Jaeger and high grade Columbian bass player Santiago Botero. This music will melt your mind!

WRIKKEN



Ivo Bol - electronics
Joris van Perlo - electronics

Live soundtrack to Maya Deren's classic film "Ritual In Transfigured
Time" and "The House", a film by Jan Suschitzky

Wrikken is a project of Ivo Bol and Joris van Perlo, who have made music together since they were 15. Wrikken originated in the Dutch city of Groningen where they played in cult bands like Soom, Plan Kruutntoone, Wastewell and G.I. Magnetic Inflatable Carrot plane. In 1996 they composed music for strings, saxophone and electric guitar. After 1996 their music has become more and more electronic. The music of Wrikken is constructed during an ongoing process of redefining their own sound, based mostly on samples made from their own music. Influences are Minimal music, Coil, Beefheart, David Lynch. Wrikken collaborated with several theatremakers, filmmakers and visual artists. They have been touring in Germany, the USA and Holland. Wrikken will perform a live soundtrack that is composed for Maya Deren’s film “Ritual In Transfigured Time” (1945-46). Stichting Mixer released their debut single.

MARIJE NIE & MARTIJN GROOTENDORST



SoundFloor, tapdance and video: a TripTych on Seagulls
Walking thru time and treading frantic rhythms from wired surfaces

De SoundFloor is een electronische tapvloer waarmee de tapdanseres zelf haar geluiden kan besturen. Tapdanser Marije Nie droomt al jaren over dit electroaccoustische instrument. Het is een instrument waarmee Marije niet alleen haar eigen geluid kan manipuleren, maar dat ook een interactieve geluidsomgeving kan maken op basis van het tapgeluid. Deze incarnatie van de SoundFloor is ontwikkeld door studenten van de Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht en TU Eindhoven en is nu al een veelbelovende start op een avontuurlijke weg.

Plus AUXXX Time Travel Disco with DJ PHILIPPONA and DJ MORSANEK

DJ PHILIPPONA



DJ Philippona spins music from the past, pleasing discerning music lovers and (jazz) musicians alike with her exquisite yet totally unpredictable taste.

DJ MORSANEK



Morsanek is the DJ name of improvising musician and hiphop geek Mark Morse. Originally from America, Mark is currently based in Amsterdam and has been the resident DJ for AUXXX since its inception.

blues poet

Kain - voice

"Ye that hath seen me hath seen Baby Kain and no-one cometh to My father except by me. My name is Kain and I just got here".
Kain The Poet



Ausweis (DE)
mantra loops - surrealist soundscapes - dream voices

Ulrike Helmholz - voice and electronics
Ralf Meinz - electronic percussion and computer
Pit Schmidt - saxophone and computer

Ausweis make surrealistic soundscapes with strangely possessed voices and sounds which emerge from trance and dream states. Their improvised music plays with tensions which seem to exist between acoustic, electronic, composed and improvised musics. Ulrike Helmholz will explore the "speaking in tongues" theme through the rhytmical recitation of texts by Hölderlin, Brecht, Kerouac, Rimbaud, Baudelaire, Genet, Dauthendey and Japanese Haiku poets. Her mantra-like looping of these words will be accompanied by colourful soundscapes created by Pit Schmidt and Ralf Meinz on saxopohone, electronic percussion and computers. Ausweis have a broad and intuitive approach to rhythmical and musical structure, every song takes the listener to a new world... These unique musicians from Tubingen have worked with many other artists including Japanese Butoh dancer Mitsutaka Ishii, German krautrockers Faust, improvisers Otomo Yoshihide, David Moss, Elliot Sharp and Franz Hautzinger, the contemporary music ensemble Zeitkratzer and American legends such as Lou Reed and Ike Willis - as alchemical artists they distil their experience from such a wide field into pure gems of strange abstraction!



MC Quio + DJ Marcelle (DE/NL)
Berlin MC meets Amsterdam DJ for a late night mash up!

Quio is a Berlin based MC, singer and performer. She started MCing in 1997 as MC Looney Tunes. She performed with Drum' n Bass and HipHop DJs in Berlin and throughout Europe.

In September 2007 her new album "Phiu" was released. For the AUXXX alchemistic cabaret evening she will perform together as an MC with resident Auxxx DJ - Marcelle.

"Like Ooh is like a punch in the face of the creative opposition to change... an album which shoots in the aberrations of our day-to-day life, giving a sense to what we don't have ! "

AUXXX ARCHIVE

Amsterdam Underkurrent XXX - AUXXX

"a new channel for unconventional artists"



AUXXX is a series of regular events at OT301 (Overtoom 301) in Amsterdam showcasing local and international artists. We are interested in booking and putting on events for people active in the following areas: installation art, improvised and composed music, writing, spoken word / rap, performance art, film / video, animation, electronics and new media, bands and djs. We are particularly interested in mixed bills where new combinations of approaches are encouraged. We aim to bring together artists whose work taps into a strong creative undercurrent running through many genres and scenes. We provide these artists and their audience with an open and flexible performance platform, as well as a vibrant meeting place. The name "Amsterdam Underkurrent XXX" reflects the city in which we are based, Amsterdam, a "floating city" built on water, historically renowned for its progressive outlook, a city of experiment and openness, an international port and meeting place where new ideas can emerge, many of which find expression through unconventional channels and hidden paths. By tapping into these (under)currents our events will open up new areas of dialogue and challenge existing notions of what it means to be xxxperimental - watch this blog!

Below is an overview of the first AUXXX series.

*PARAPHERNALIA*
karaokecore cabaret*_ by sister0 [ex=toydeath]
mutant dolls & curiosa embedded with hacked gamepads are played like instruments to divine samples and modify vocals that sound like a radio transmission coming from ...as far off as tasmania...

USER >

Hailing from the gothic isle of Tasmania, USER creates Subterranean ambient studio explorations created with guitar, effects, field recordings, and appropriated sound. USER mixes and manipulates this live ranging from sublime atmospherics to stoner doom on a broken tape machine, no input on an obsolete mixer to concert hall crescendo. A sound project by Australian artist Scot Cotterell, USER has been presented at empty punk bars and packed concert halls around Oz.

IAIN MCINTYRE

The A Warning project first took form whilst Iain McIntyre (ninetynine, Thee Stag Knights, The Hatchetmen) was living in London in 2004. Inspired by the film work of composers such as John Carpenter and John Cameron and gifted the use of a three track recorder and a Holiday Genie organ McIntyre crafted a soundtrack to a “lost” dystopian film set in the US of the Nixonian 70s. Completing work on the soundtrack using a number of analogue synthesizers during 2005 and 2006 McIntyre invited a number of Australian musicians to contribute vocals, strings, piano and drums to the project. Alongside work on the musical side of the project McIntyre raided various video and online archives for stock footage with which to create the surreal “lost” movie the soundtrack accompanies. 15 separate clips have been put together to tell the story of a shell shocked and alcoholic journalist who is forced into private detective work following a 1972 military coup within the US. Traveling across America in search of the runaway daughter of a high ranking politician our hero experiences saucer landings, fish falls and earthquakes. Are these phenomena merely the result of his fast deteriorating psyche or are they part of some wider conspiracy involving his quarry?

PAUL GLAZIER

'Dorothy Squeezed'

To make the "OZ" theme complete Paul Glazier will present a new version of his film "Yellow Brick Road Works". The material for this work, both audio and visual, was drawn from the classic 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz". Taking a figurative magnifying-glass to the original film "Yellow Brick Road Works" examined the building-blocks of this icon and unfurled a new road to Oz and back. In 'Dorothy Squeezed' Paul will improvise live electronic music with samples form both the "Wizard" and the "Road Works" squeezing the original 98 minute video into a frenetic 30 minute trip!

DJ MARCELLE (Another Nice Mess) - Australian punk and other songs about kangaroos

DJ MORSANEK (AUXXX) - oddoz electronika + beats from downunder
