Soon Kim with Tetsuya Hori (Japan)
Tetsuya Hori (Laptop, Spielzeugklavier, Bierflasche, und mehr...)
Soon Kim (Altsaxophon)
Bei der Improvisation wird jeder Musiker vom anderen beeinflusst. Den Musikern ist es freigestellt, in der Improvisation auf den anderen zu achten, bewusst Disharmonie zu erzeugen oder einen Kompromiss aus beidem einzugehen. Das macht zwar jede Aufführung zu einem unkalkulierbaren Risiko, erzeugt aber für Aufführende und Publikum eine hohe musikalische Spannung. Die vorbereitete Sounddatei (etwa das Wasser-Sample) ist die einzige Konstante. Sie kann nicht reagieren und auf Veränderungen eingehen wie die aufführenden Musiker, ist statisch. Dadurch entsteht noch mal mehr Spannung.

Aide Auditive (France)
Created in 2006, Aide Auditive, formed by Matohawk and MysthR, will not stop surprising us. Armed with their laptops and various kinds of controllers (joystick, sensitive mat, etc.), these two adept artists of computer era favor a live performance based on improvisation. They develop their own programs and use various open source software, thus exploring new tones and electronic music. Booming bass, stripping noise, embellished with a sweet and appeasing sonorous landscape of incessant down-tempo rhythms this music evolves wherever their moods carry it. Beyond the created sounds, a true complicity has been established and feeds their inspiration. « Implant Cochléaire », their first album released with the netlabel Antiblues, reflects these uncompromising improvisations.


Mueran Humanos (Argentina)
All of their shows are different, they make them unique leaving a lot to improvisation and the inspiration of the moment. In Salon Bruit Mueran Humanos will play a special improvised instrumental set for home made oscillator (doo-rag) and bass, going back to their earlier days for one night. They will be joined by Overrated Soundsystem (VJ, Arg.) with found video footage in a special performance of sound/vision total improvisation.
