apestaartje : a label, a collective, a symbol used to specify a location
apestaartje, currently based in New York, was founded in Chicago in 1998 as a
media arts collective and as a record label to distribute the audio works of the
collective. apestaartje is dedicated to exploring new technologies and
techniques as well as expanding on many traditions from the past. Four
performers involved with apestaartje will give four concerts on this evening.
Anderegg is one of the founding members of the apestaartje collective. His work
has been described as "an ever-shifting composition of nervous trembles, ticks
and spasms gently coaxed from acoustic instruments, field recordings and all
things electronic, that is then obsessively obscured as if beneath a fluttering
veil that allows only brief flashes of detail while carefully filtering the
remainder". His second album 'anomia' has just been released on April 15th
2003.
Aero is the solo project of apestaartje co-founder and label head Koen Holtkamp.
His work has been described as "a complex synthetic recreation of something
unspecifically organic, in other words, an assemblage of sound capable of
transforming the listener's conception of time and space." (AG, other music).
His second album titled 'rises and falls' will be released on apestaartje in
July 2003.
Minamo, an electroacoustic quartet from Tokyo featuring several key players in
the contemporary Japanese improvised music scene (Tetsuro Yasunaga, Keiichi
Sugimoto, Namiko Sasamotosk) sound is an organic blend of experimental
electronics with instrumentation (guitar, synth, saxophone, computer etc) that
evokes everything from classical minimalism to more serene folk stylings. Their
third album titled 'beautiful' will be released on apestaartje on April 15th
2003.
Collin Olan is a Chicago based sound artist, improviser and software engineer
who recently released his debut 3" cd titled 'rec01' on apestaartje. BBC Music
On-line stated, "Olan's contact mics unlock a sound world previously hidden from
the ear, where tiny events are magnified to dramatic scale." He is currently
working on a full length album to be released on apestaartje in late summer
2003.
