Music From High Wires #4
Past dates
10/21/16
9:00 PM
The fourth edition of the new Kampnagel series from Nguyen Phuong-Dan, a cultural anthropologist and DJ with ties to the Golden Pudel Club and a strong interest in experimental and eclectic music. The guests include an exciting assortment of artists with connections to Düsseldorf’s art-music Salon des Amateurs, appearing as Toresch.
Toresch was formed last year by Detlef Weinrich, Viktoria Wehrmeister and Jan Wagner and if there’s anything that links them to Suba, it’s the fact that they are also cultural adventurers with fascinating backstories. Weinrich is a resident DJ at Düsseldorf’s Salon des Amateurs club, where his idiosyncratic sets were once described by Resident Advisor as »the stuff of local legend.« He also records as Tolouse Low Trax and is a member of post-cosmic electro-acoustic band Kreidler.
Wehrmeister meanwhile is a Mexico-born sculptor and artist who also played in the band La! Neu? with Klaus Dinger, the inventor of the motorik groove. Live, Weinrich and Wehrmeister are augmented by the visuals of artist Wagner, director of the Filmwerkstatt in Düsseldorf. The recordings for their debut mini-album, »Essen Fur Alle,« were enhanced with mixing and editing by Gordon Pohl of the Kunstkopf label.
»Essen Für Alle« is a work of dark industry and no small amount of magic, sometimes sinister and austere, sometimes raw and spontaneous -- playful, even -- and at moments almost tender in its barbed caress. Noises surge in and out of the shadows, mysterious voices murmur disembodied messages and beats hammer and clank like the rhythms of the factory floor as Wehrmeister declaims her mesmeric invocations and this music from the hidden reaches infects the consciousness.
