Heart Chamber Orchestra
"Le Heart Chamber Orchestra est un projet audiovisuel captivant, qui met en scène un orchestre qui génère sa partition musicale (et son accompagnement visuel) en temps réel. Le truc qui tue ? La source de la musique est générée par le rythme cardiaque des membres de l’orchestre.Chaque musicien est relié à un capteur sur électrocardiogramme qui envoie le rythme cardiaque à un ordinateur qui l’incorpore alors en une visualisation. Cette donnée est utilisée en simultanée pour créer une partition originale qui est affichée sur l’ordinateur portable qui se trouve devant chaque musicien.La performance en elle-même affecte le rythme cardiaque de chaque musicien, ce qui en retour affecte la partition, ce qui à son tour modifie… Vous avez compris. Et vous ne serez pas surpris de savoir que cela mène à une composition étrange et abstraite."(Gizmodo)

John Olsen
"John Olsen is trained as a house painter. In 1959 he apprenticed to Den Kongelige Porcelænsfabrik, where during his years of apprenticeship he was entrusted with increasingly demanding assignments – he painted among others bird and animal motifs onto the factory’s dinner sets. In 1960 he was admitted to Kunstakademiets Billedhuggerskole (School of Sculpture of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts) in Copenhagen. From 1965 he also attended courses at Grafisk Skole (School of Graphic Arts).
Living and working in close harmony with nature, John Olsen draws on nature for his work. Here he gets inspiration, motifs and materials. He often takes up unimpressive details that are easily overlooked, but which in his pictures are transformed into structures with a beauty all of their own. In his graphic works these motifs may be close-up studies of rocks in Iceland or the Faroe Islands, flocks of birds in the water, or studies of living and dead birds and animals. In paintings and photographs close-up studies of e.g. birds or snow-covered grass.
Nature also concretely supplies materials for John Olsen’s works. He is an inveterate collector of dried carcasses, strange knotty branches, animal skulls and bones, stuffed birds and bird’s eggs. The litter of modern civilisation from the rubbish dump, objects found in the jumble of the flea market and medical preparations in spirits are gathered and used as raw material for John Olsen’s artistic activities.
All of these finds are put together in glass cases reminding of the cabinets of curiosities of former times. In these cases of surprise and cabinets of wonder, difficult to embrace for their throng of objects, new surprising wholes and meanings are created. Colour and texture are juxtaposed thereby calling the attention of the spectator to the beauty of decay.
In John Olsen’s pictures of the decay and destructiveness of nature, death and weakness become present. The pictures do not only, though, focus on the frightful and sinister aspects of death. Death and decay also hold a sort of beauty. Just as death in nature is a precondition of the continuance of life, John Olsen arouses the dead objects and turns them into art.
In 1995 John Olsen represented Denmark at the Biennale in Venice, where he exhibited the large sculpture ”Resonans” (“Resonance”) – inspired by an armadillo shell, which can be seen in the Cabinet of Wonder. A bronze copy of ”Resonans” is exhibited in the museum garden. Furthermore a range of the artist’s painted tiles can be seen in the town hall of Holstebro."

THE PSYCHIC PARAMOUNT
"Basée sur une rythmique puissante et répétitive qui laisse place aux accents improvisés du jeu de guitare de Drew St Ivany, la musique de Psychic Paramount (formé par 2 anciens membres des trés bons Laddio Bolocko...), est avant tout bruyante, massive, hypnotique... et peut atteindre une sorte de transe quasi psychédelique"

DANIEL HIGGS
"Daniel Higgs est une légende. Il aime les histoires, il aime les raconter, se draper dedans, les faire évoluer. Il est illustrateur, poète et musicien. C’est un prophète barbu et tatoué, au regard perçant, à l’allure impressionnante. Dès les années 80 à Baltimore, il évolue dans les milieux hardcore, puis au sein de Lungfish qui lui donnent ses galons. Ce n’est pas assez. Il se dirige vers un travail solitaire, explorant les tréfonds du mysticisme, de la poésie, expérimentant sur les sons, passant de la guitare au banjo, s’accompagnant à la guimbarde qu’il fait gronder comme le tonnerre en réponse à sa voix, s’initie au fingerpicking et aux sonorités orientales. Il intègre des schémas musicaux ancestraux dans des formes modernes ornementées de sa vision de ces mondes perdus. Une prestation unique au souffle puissant, dans une configuration acoustique exceptionnelle."

METAL ROUGE
Métal Rouge was formed in 2006 by Helga Fassonaki and Andrew Scott in Auckland, New Zealand with no aim but to open themselves to the spontaneous psych tonalism running through the underbelly of popular music like a vein of pure lightning. Birthed from the rich history of New Zealand underground they began to mold a sound comprised equally of the forward motion of ecstatic jazz and the drugged stasis of NYC loft minimalism circa ’66. Drummer/Trombonist Caitlin M. Mitchell became a regular colaborator in 2009, bringing with her a night/day spectrum ranging from pure brass drone through to aggressive free rock. Related projects include Yek Koo, Nest, Un Ciego, Huzun, Oabl and Low Light Situations. Métal Rouge have releases on Root Strata, Not Not Fun, Stunned, Digitalis, Fictitious Sighs, and Emerald Cocoon.
