For the DLC.09 on July 11, legendary mille plateaux artist and one of the most respected reputations in avant-garde laptop music, and rightfully so, as he has established a highly notable presence in the multimedia experimentation of the late 20th and early 21st century. "Christophe Charles" will perform his live using his computer programs, insisting on the autonomy of each sound and the absence of hierarchical structure.
On a same day, most revered name in noise-electronic music today, Tetsuo Furudate will perform his noise-opera composition. Contributing to the development of the Japanese noise music in its early period with other pioneers, and apart from his numerous solo works as Furudate Tetsuo, Tetsuo has collaborated with Achim Wollscheid (selektion), Merzbow (mego), Zbigniew Karkowski (sub rosa), Kasper T. Toeplitz (NIkO) and more other noise musicians.
Perhaps one of the most prolific and ceaselessly inventive personalities to come out of the electronic music community since the 1990s, Yurihito Watanabe, the man behind yxetm+, has accumulated literally dozens of musical directions over the course of his illustrious career. Working with David Toop, Alva noto, CM von Hausswolff, Yurihito is increasingly attracted to pushing the barriers of his art form in new directions.
