KELVIN ZERO + SORRY

Jassem HINDI + Basile FERRIOT

About Me

KELVIN ZERO
Musicians from the young generation of free improvised music, Ferriot and Hindi's approach focuses on an exploration of textures and raw sound materials, primarily working through the antagonism between raw sound material and musical gesture. Together they cast their pieces by piling up materials and provoking blunt dynamic changes, building up sound layers textured by percussions, field recordings, amplified objects, cut-ups, feed-backs…
The result is a field of sound stretching from "musique concrete" to noise, crossed by Industrial, harsh noise or coranic chants.
They have also played with guests such as Toshihiro Koike, Martin Küchen or Pierre Gordeff.
SORRY
Same guys, but in a harsh noise set up: Basile Ferriot = DRUM KIT + electronics
Jassem Hindi = TRUCK TRACTOR SPRING + FEEDBACKS + cassettes
