One more coming up next month!

Charnel Ground presents: JHK, Scathing, Kiran Arora & Kryptogen Rundfunk

Coming up at Resistor, Leiden on the 22nd of august! An evening of noise, heavy electronics and cut-up with:

JHK (US):

JHK, is the NYC based solo experimental electronics project of Jackson H. Kovalchik who began using the moniker in 2018. JHK’s output incorporates detailed and textural moments of cassette manipulation, utilizing an organic and manufactured palette. Much of the work establishes composition with throughlines of synthesized undertones culminating in entropic pedal abuse.

Scathing (US):

Scathing is a harsh noise project by Kenny Brieger from Austin Texas, active since 2016.

Kiran Arora (UK):

Psychedelic, mind-bending and body-shifting, Kiran Arora pushes the classicism of American harsh noise further, towards something new. A feverish dive into the heart of a crackling magnetic swamp.

Kryptogen Rundfunk (NL):

Kryptogen Rundfunk is an experimental sound project based in Amstelveen, The Netherlands. The project works with analogue electronics, radio waves, electromagnetic interference and found sounds, creating sophisticated aural images, often exploring extreme areas of the sonic spectrum.

This coming wednesday, the 8th of april.. we will return to Resistor to present an evening of musique concrete, noise and crude sound collage with:

Francisco Meirino (Switzerland):

Francisco Meirino is a sound artist. His work explores the tension between programmable material and the potential for its failure. His interest lies primarily in what is not supposed to be recorded : the end of life of electronic devices, electrostatic noise, hiss, magnetic fields and the unconventional use of music hardware and sound systems. His music combines intricate textures, sonic precision, wide spatial panning and is fascinating by its physical intensity and detail precision.

He mostly uses the modular synthesizer (Eurorack-Serge), microphone and field recorder, reel-to-reel tape recorders, analog tape echoes, electronic magnetic field’s detectors, computer and various home-made electro-acoustic devices.

Dead Door Unit (United States):

Philadelphia-based K. Geiger is active under the guises of Dead Door Unit, Master Grave Services, and his imprint French Market Press producing ultra-limited noise tapes (often 7 copies or less) in unusual packaging that echoes labels like Sound Probe or SFCR. Geiger combines harsh noise with fragmented and psychedelic junk loops to it's full potential.

Tzu Ni (Taiwan):

Tzu Ni is an installation/sound artist from Taiwan who's currently based in the Netherlands. Her work primarily utilises spatial and sonic installations as her practices; as to (de)construct the interconnected relationship between sound, gender and space.

ASCH (Netherlands):

Familiar faces treading unfamiliar territory. ASCH is a Dutch collaborative project featuring members of Svartvit and Geseling. They utilize various methods such as tape manipulation, digital processing, electromagnetic interference and field-recordings which result in feverish and crude sound collages.

Charnel Ground presents: Desolation Colony, Aska, Sharps Formation, Vincent Dallas, Svartvit & Geseling

Sometimes due to a complete coincidence we end up with multiple tours coming together on the same date. This is one of those occasions! On the 29th of march we'll head back to OCCII in Amsterdam with 6 projects from the United States, Australia, Iceland, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Tickets are now available through OCCII's website. Be sure to get yours in advance, this one isn't to be missed!

Line up:

Desolation Colony (United States):

Joshua Strachan (Azar Swan, Blacklist, etc) and Tom Moore (Throne Heap) present a ruthless exploration of the psychologies and technologies of modern necropolitics conducted with grinding analog electronics and abrasive collaged samples.

Aska (Iceland):

Aska has effectively united melancholic melodies with unsettling noise. A dense web of microsounds is the result, without disturbing the reduced overall effect of the music. Co-existential to the haunting atmosphere of analogue synths and vocals, the drum-machine enters the scene with skeletal rhythms. Aska treads a wide spectrum, combining wave, industrial and noise.

Sharps Formation (Australia):

Ghastly and swarming tapeloops engulfed in static walls of noise by Minimal Impact's head honcho.

Vincent Dallas (Belgium):

Spontaneous harsh noise pushed into the red using field recordings and junk metal, fueled by high ABV trappist Ales.

Svartvit (Netherlands):

Exploring the boundaries of sound since 2009. Svartvit sculpts corporeal sonic landscapes that pulsate with raw intensity. Through extensive manipulation acoustic sounds are held captive in the liminal space between their point of origin & grotesque indecipherable slabs of distortion.

Geseling (Netherlands):

Focused and densely textured harsh noise combining scrap metal, field recordings, feedback and electromagnetic interference.

Doors: 19:00
Damage: €10 presale / €12 door

Event: Charnel Ground presents: Desolation Colony, Aska, Sharps Formation, Vincent Dallas, Svartvit & more
