Rites of Noise - Winter Edition

An evening with blooming and edgy sounds curated by Tomas Serrien and Casper de Geus

NAH

Mike Kuun (aka NAH) is a producer, percussionist, and visual artist currently splitting his time between Philadelphia and Antwerp. A staple of Philly’s rich avant-garde scene, MK is a prolific sound sculptor who’s developed a dynamic synthesis of textured noise and confronting percussive rhythms. Performing live with little more than a drum kit, various samplers and drum sensor technology, he channels a frenetic energy that teeters on the edge of violent hostility and playful chaos.

Vlerk plays Transformeur - filmschoolnoise

As a graduation project, Casper De Geus aka Vlerk made the short film Transformeur, as an attempt to translate the experience of reading a graphic novel into an audiovisual experience. It is a silent film with a live noisy sound layer, recorded on miniDV tape, telling the story of a boy who changes into a car. It is a tribute to Ward Zwart.
