Noisebath X Ruthless
NOISEBATH X RUTHLESS
24 Oct | Tue | 9pm | free admission
Today x Future
(7-T Gen. Malvar St., Araneta Centre, Cubao, Quezon City)
One of the six major acts of WSK AXIS 2017: Festival of the Recently Possible, Noisebath x Ruthless is a night of collaborative explorations of visceral, abysmal noise that which violates the eardrum and articulates its own overwhelming presence upon the body. Noise has been understood as sound that falls beyond the reach of the normal, sound that is undesirable, sound that perennially finds itself on the outside. However, it reimagines its stature and recapitulates itself within the center, operating upon the underbelly of the present and reconfiguring its situation as brutal and unwanted to construct a new center that thickens with volume and texture, not meaning.
PERFORMERS: Lush Death x Dethomega x Slay Your Boyfriend | Kahugyaw x Drago Katzov | To Die [Indonesia]

Kahugyaw, armed with a seven-string electric guitar and quite the assortment of electronic devices to manipulate, duplicate, repeat, distort and bend sound to his will in almost every (and most of the time unexpected) manner, This lone wolf's orchestrations of emphatic soundscapes full of doom and gloom is not to be missed.

Drago Katzov, subject in question is a primitivist echo trapped in gross motor movements paralyzed by the analysis of matters filial and parental. His work is not experimental; he knows exactly what he wants to convey. From the UK by way of Harsh Noise Movement / HNM Records to Indonesia via the Gerpfast Kolektif, he has reached the hearts and minds of many, much to their satisfactory regret and regretful satisfaction.
