Additions to Avanto Festival programme + Avanto on radio
LATE ADDITIONS
The Dutch sound art group Staalplaat Soundsystem will present "Avantilator", a new work commissioned by Avanto Festival. "Avantilator" is a performance for 100 office fans and will be premiered at Kiasma Theatre on Nov 23 at 18.00-21.00. Led by Geert-Jan Hobijn, one of the founders and the current director of the legendary Staalplaat label, Staalplaat Soundsystem will also play a DJ set at Avanto on Nov 22 at 17.00-20.00.
Simon Wickham-Smith is an English cult underground artist, who combines musical influences stemming from his Buddhist faith with noise, minimalist drones and various idiosyncracies. He will play at Kiasma Theatre on Nov 21 at 19.30. The event is Pekka Airaksinen's record launch concert: Love Records releases a double CD compilation of this Finnish cult underground artist's works spanning his career from 1968 until present. The CD includes remixes by Simon Wickham-Smith, Nurse With Wound, Mira Calix, Curd Duca, Philipp Quehenberger, Notchnoi Prospekt, and 5 others.
In addition to screening Chris Petit's "Radio On" (1980), a classic road movie by one of Britain's greatest directors, Avanto will also present "Radio On (remix)" from 1998 - a fast-paced Godardian essay on driving and alienation with a soundtrack by Bruce Gilbert. It will be shown in one of Avanto's traditional Avantoscope screenings, which survey the international scene of sound-driven avant-garde/experimental/underground films and videos. Avantoscope screenings feature premieres by two upcoming Finnish directors, Minna Långström and Anu Pennanen, as well as works by Joost Rekveld, Pierre-Yves Cruaud, Siegfried A. Fruhauf, Michaela Schwentner, Kulo Murugaiyan, Ian Helliwell, Benny Nemerovsky Ramsay, Bas van Koolwijk, Leon Grodski, eddie d, Billy Roisz and Pip Chodorov.
