Nikka

***Nikka plays with sensations and with the interaction of the machines in their most pure state, creating each track while walks, skiping the sequences or anything that may intercede in the natural process of musical creation. It’s prety evident that she feels safe among machinery: she can express herself without the use of any subterfuge; she can whether build and destroy rhythms; or better she can create soundscapes that allow us to travel and suggest something at the same time.

Felix's Machines

Felix Thorn aka Felix's Machines, uses computer to control analog, traditionally, hand-played instruments.
Much like the player-pianos of their time, however, possibly not as simple in comparison (and involving creativity beyond the novelty).
The computer here controls spring-controlled sticks hitting real drums, piano-hammers, glockenspiels, etc. >>Watch his videos if you can<<
Thrown in for added visual spark are LED meters, and the like.

Broken Twin

Broken Twin is the synonym of a young woman (Majke Voss Romme) with good stories to tell and a magical way of doing so. Drawing upon the eerie sounds of the Northern hemisphere and musically influenced by acts such as Feist, Nico and Anthony and the Johnsons her simple setup of bass, piano, guitar, vocals and percussion intertwines in a whirlwind of creaking pianobenches, floating vocals and cantankerous guitars.
