(the artists page is a bit of a work in progress...
more details on the international rhythm stars will appear as we get
them)
Benelux
Circus - Woolworthpunk
Zali Krishna is a multi-instrumentalist improviser/songwriter/bricoleur
and multimedia artist with fingers in many pies and his head firmly
in the clouds. He plays electric sitar with drone duo Raagnagrok, digressive
guitar with psych-prog landscapists Durga, and riffs hard with apostrophist
pioneers Searchin' as well as recording and performing solo under many
noms de guerres: Entropy Circus, Krishna, The Benelux, Royal Free Electric,
&c. In 2013 he has completed the download-only solo album: Skyship
Abalone.
Orlando - Waltz in my Mouth
Cathy
Lucas AKA Orlando AKA half of Earth Moon Earth AKA 1/5th of Fanfarlo
was voted in high school as 'most likely to be a sad circus clown'.
Since then she has made a career out of acting the goat; she is Aries
after all. As a child all she ever wanted was a twin, but she engulfed
her only chance at one very early on as a prepartum jumble of cells.
This remains a source of sadness.

of Dignifieds - Of All the Gin Joints in All of the Worlds
Drift of Signifieds (DoS) is an electronic music

Tobias Van De Peer - Otisburg
Many forms has he taken.
You may know him as the groundbreaking computer game
soundtrack artist, or (psychedelischen Sound-Guru as the german press
once really dubbed him).
Or as the Acid Jazz maverick guitarist and writer
from Groove Connection who rubbed shoulders with Jamiroquai, Zem Audu,
Fela Kuti, James Taylor Quartet, Afrika Bambaata, Erykah Badu and The
Wurzels.
Or as the electro-kosmiche blues tripper with faux
swedes Kilkë.
Now, at the end of music history, all in Rock has
been done, all riffs have been written, all value lost.
Owning far too many records to be ignorant of this,
he holes up in his bunker tinkering with formulas in vain to find the
neu. Lately he has noticed the rest of the world merely rehashing the
same old stuff brazenly but with a change of trouser tightness, and
then bashing the proles into submission with social media and strange
jerky visuals. Out of bitterness, in 2013 he has now finally decided
to join in and set things straight with some fifth generation Zep riffs,
crude Django guitar, half-baked indian music ripoffs and some truly
tight trouserage.
Integrity be damned, its nice to get out of the bunker
once in a while for some fresh air...

the archives of Krautrock pioneers Can. In this respect, his by proxy
masterstroke to date has been assembling last years essential
The Lost Tapes boxset; which distilled, edited and spliced together
reels and reels of Cans studio outtakes, film scores and live
recordings into a labyrinthine yet accessible package that adjoins the
bands already illustrious catalogue with well-crafted cohesiveness.

Schmidt; his ongoing Horrorshow multimedia venture grafts live soundtracks
to short films. More info

krautrock impersonators Durga. Kyper Belt is music for and from the
cosmos even though Gary has never left planet Earth......
Ronny Waernes - Rock-a-Latin 33
His works sometimes radiate a cold and latent violence.
At times, disconcerting beauty emerges. The results are deconstructed
to the extent that meaning is shifted and possible interpretation becomes
multifaceted. With a conceptual approach, he seduces the viewer into
a world of ongoing equilibrium and the interval that articulates the
stream of daily events. Moments are depicted that only exist to punctuate
the human drama in order to clarify our existence and to find poetic
meaning in everyday life.
Tom Furse - I'm Going to See
the Stars(What's Left of the Stars)
Tom Furse, or more properly Tom the Fir Tree is not

a selection of Inuit nature spirits that have been coalescing over a
period of three aeons. His hobbies include paper folding, intransitive
verbs of motion and the remainder of your bank account. This is his
first recording that is under four hours in length.
Gemma Fleet - Slow Ballad

Teri Reed - Quickstep 33
Teri
Reed lives deep in the heart of Suffolk UFO country with his wife, son
and too many guitars.
He started life as a recording studio tea boy during
the 80s punk explosion, making tea on Never Mind The Bollocks, before
going on to engineer albums for Kate Bush, The Who and Paul McCartney.
Parting from the world of sex and drugs and rock
n roll with his hearing and sanity almost intact he then spent two decades
stretching that fragile sanity to the limit as an IT consultant.
He now wastes his spare time writing romantic fiction,
indulgent guitar epics and, clutching a ukulele, looking for open mic
events.

heard of us..." vol. 1 weird band name compilation:

However, it has now taken on a life of its own, each piece is a phase
of the operation, or of the inner life of walter eggbert as he is repeatedly
subjected to the operation for the enjoyment of the baying masses.
