Together with Subbacultcha, we present a double bill on 30 November featuring two acts from Flanders. The common denominator: their foundation in and around sound art. This evening, De Mond (Stijn Wybouw & Arno De Bock) will perform alongside Floris Vanhoof. Additionally, Ben Bertrand will collaborate with Manah Depauw. This double bill promises to be a mix of hypnotizing sounds and audiovisual experiments.
About De Mond & Floris Vanhoof
DE MOND is the brainchild of Stijn Wybouw and Arno De Bock, two musicians from Brussels. Together, they craft an electrifying blend of mucky vocalizations, tape loops, hypnotic synth sounds, and deep drum beats. There first EP “Glow” will be released by Futura Resistenza in spring ’24.
They work together with Musician/visual Artist Floris Vanhoof, who joins the live-sets as a 3th member by making live collages (with gobo's, color filters, Fresnel, reflecting materials ...) on 2 big open Strobes.
Artist Floris Vanhoof, who lives and works in Antwerp, explores the boundaries between image, light, and sound. Inspired by structural film and early electronic music, Van hoof creates installations, performances, and compositions. The work of Vanhoof was previously exhibited during the Neighbouring Frequencies exhibition at de Brakke Grond.
About Ben Bertrand & Manah Depauw
Ben Bertrand is a Belgian bass clarinetist and composer. With his instrument and countless machines, Ben creates his live sets with a hypnotic web of sounds. Listening to his music is like sitting at the sea, watching the slow motion of our crazy lives sailing by.
Manah Depauw is a Belgian actress, theatre maker and radio host. She is known for pieces like Johnson & Johnson, La Wallifiornie and the movie Welcome Home.
The duo collaborated on Black Zodiac, an album narrated by Depauw that centers around themes of science fiction, blended with Bertrand’s layers of manipulated clarinet. This album will be released on 31 October on Nosedrip’s music label Stroom.tv.
