Sinnthese + Fairymarichel + DJ Sets

From Germany, Sinnthese brings a mischievous, restless strain of synth-pop, threading exploratory new wave through sound collages and absurdist-realist text fragments. The solo live set draws on a Korg MS-20 and a mix of songs and lyrics. Japanese sound performer Fairymarichel shapes an improvised electronic world with modular textures, moving between noise, avant-garde experimentation and fractured tanz-techno. Le Horla and Sofy Maladie complete the bill with a specially devised record set, extending the evening’s adventurous, shifting sonic palette.
