Psychic Liberation (PL) is a label founded in 2013 that originally ran with Miguel Alvariño under the title Primitive Languages as a cassette and record store project in New York City. Since 2019, Nick Klein has been running it solo out of the EU under the morphing title Psychic Liberation (Potentially Listenable, Profit Loss, Phree Life, Phatty Liver, etc).
crack crypt crucifixion
Crack Crypt Crucifixion (C.C.C.) is the joint project of Adam Campbell (Fancyyyyyy), Nick Klein (Psychic Liberation), andDiego Behncke (Prensa Manual), manifesting as damp, recursively claggy, pathologically-engineered environments of half-witted, pulp-feedback accidents. Seeping through, live-performances or recorded media of C.C.C. appear as temporal evidence of these Function.

Lawrence McGuireLawrence McGuire (b. 1997) is an artist concerned with sound and text. His outputs cross the text-sound practices of the sound poets as well as machinic thinking found in computer music and sciences. For this special occasion–in his old hometown–he’ll attempt to memorize and recite song lyrics and instrumentals from what he finds that day, and if needed, will be assisted by his synthetic

tashi dorji
born in bhutan and based in asheville, north carolina since 2000, tashi dorji’s trajectory towards his deeply personal language on the guitar has been informed by a vast array of influences tumbling over one another along the day. soaking up the usual metal, punk and rock leanings in his teen years, dorshi took the path from there to free jazz, avant garde and free improvisation, with an epiphanic encounter with derek bailey’s music proving to be particularly pivotal.
without binding to such guiding lights, dorshi’s playing takes an intuitive approach that feels both lyrical and feral, hinting at tangent references that disappear through improvisations on both acoustic and electric

2025-04-25 20:00 - 23:00 | Crickxstraat 15, 1060 Sint-Gillis, België
delphine dora & anaïs tuerlinckx
two singular pianists, collaborate here by abandoning their preferred instrument, to disrupt each other’s music from the inside by constructing a radical sound space on the borders of improvised, noisy and electroacoustic music and sound poetry. delphine dora uses loops, multi-tracks and various effects to augment and distort her voice, creating a disorientating and hypnotic effect, while anaïs tuerlinckx produces clusters and noisy sounds, attacks and resonances with her string box.
This research is fueled by their shared interest in the physicality of sound and an abstract approach to music, but also by their contrasting approaches.�The duo’s mainly improvised music, which favors a spontaneous approach, draws on the dialectic between the exploration of areas of friction between noise and abstraction, as well as a taste for sound textures, the boundary between the musicality of words and glossolalia, and the materiality and ‘fragments’ of melodies that telescope and contaminate each other. Subtle research into the materiality of sound and its transformation, gestures, musical and extra-musical sounds, a play on reductionism, stripped-down performance, combined with hypnotic work around the voice and altered fields of https://delphinedora.wordpress.com/

danse musique rhône-alpes (dmra) (live)
l’avatar danse musique rhône-alpes est un hommage nostalgique à la dance commerciale des années 90 mais également aux formes les plus brutes et radicales de la musique électronique. une volonté de gangloff de saluer l’immédiateté régressive des mélodies plastiques aussi idiotes qu’addictives tout en criant son amour des dé/ constructions rythmiques directes et physiques. la promesse amusée de vénérer les codes de la dance autant que ses détracteurs maléfiques et de faire emprunter à d.m.r.a les trajectoires les plus obliques de la house de chicago autant que les ornières les moins praticables de la techno lo-fi, et de s’inscrire ainsi dans la lignée de ces musiques électroniques de transe collective qui ont réussi à fondre les archétypes du club populaire à des expérimentations bruitistes, offrant ses heures les plus cathartiques à la danse buttons.infused with sound design, hypnotic elements and berlin techno, his music has a very distinctive style;minimal, but not boring…raw yet colourful…experimental but groovy… (never cheesy !)flart live is the electro remedy. good for your legs, your heart and your glitches.https://on.soundcloud.com/kdqxq8wdatrv5hbz5

brique balances between urban and lyrical music. one moment it makes you float over a poetic landscape, another moment it makes you dance around a local baseball ground. it has the unexpected excitement of taking apart a post-punk russian doll..bianca iannuzzi with her beautiful voice sings in french, english, italian and german, eve riser shows in her own inimitable way how music can hit you full in your heart, while luc ex and francesco pasticaldi create a world of irresistible cadences and imagination.

Autoreverse
Nina Garcia – e guitarArnaud Rivière – diy electronics
Since 2020, at the very end of the first lock-down, Nina Garcia aka Mariachi and Arnaud Rivière, two Parisians artists & activists joined their sonic forces in Autoreverse around a bunch of speakers to build a music as immediate as incandescent. Attacks without low-cut, amplified scrap metal, caught feedbacks, provoked chances, melodies which invite themselves but do not remain for dinner, rhythmic sketches and assumed beauty zones, constructed and cracked matters, counterpoints to the line… backwards and straight ahead: file under high energy improv-noise of today !
In its three years of existence, Autoreverse has challenged its certainties on numerous international and European stages: Fimav (Canada), Angelica (Italy), Musica (Strasbourg), Instants Chavirés (Montreuil), Static Age Records (USA)…. Nina Garcia and Arnaud Rivière performed solo at : Présences Électroniques Ina GRM (Paris), EMS (Stockholm), Sonic Acts (Amsterdam), Issue Project Room (New-York), Café Oto (London), Folkteater (Goteborg), LUFF (Lausanne).
textures.
He enjoys pushing the boundaries of sound, digging into its core with a constant focus on physicality and permeability. During live performances, he engages in an instinctive and radical manner, attuning to the environment and his own body, which serves as a barometer to weave massive, organic soundscapes that unfold, intersect, blend, or decompose. The result is a thunderous barrage of abstract noise, distortions, and rhythmic heard.
This experimental work of both complementarity and friction in situ aims to question the presence and physicality of the body in sound, the gesture that transforms and mutates with and within the sound of the electronic instrument. Rejecting the juxtaposition of differences, sound and the moving body do not merely coexist in a theatrical form. The dance is neither subservient to the music nor does it illustrate it, and vice versa. The quality they seek is one of fusion, where sonic gestures merge into a single, unified physical extensions.
Their shared movement emerges from the confrontation of bodily energy and sonic energy, evolving through velocity, rupture, the overflow of one into the other, and saturation, creating the sensation of a space-time that could distort. The experience is immersive, intimate,

Marquis Zaïre (ex-Some Tweetlove)We take almost the same thing and we do something else. Explorers of the indecisive, the trance and the spleen, the four Marquis Zaïre use guitars, percussion, bouzouki and a variety of electro-fixtures. They rekindle some of the flames of their past lives (Some Tweetlove, Tom Sweetlove / Matamore Recordings) and, above all, they look elsewhere. Happy/plaintiff, they make sad melodies rise, froth and pulse to ecstasy. At the crossroads of post-rock, lo-fi and minimalism, Marquis Zaïre play an essentially instrumental neo-Folkore from instrumental.
