Golden Oriole is de Engelse benaming voor de Wielewaal; de bijna geheel knalgele, Euraziatische zangvogel die ook in Nederland voorkomt. Het is ook de naam van de Noorse band die bestaat uit tweederde Staer leden. Staer stond al drie keer in Rotterdam (WORM; Oct 27, 2012) en wie ze aan 't werk gezien heeft is zonder meer overtuigd van hun kunnen. Golden Oriole is het vervolg op Staer en zal deze smetteloze reputatie intact houden. Celestial Bodies is het volbloedige grafherrie project van René Aquarius en Vincent Koreman; beiden vaandeldragers van de Nederlandse underground. Zij hebben net hun prachtdebuut uit op het toonaangevende I, Voidhanger records.
GOLDEN ORIOLE (no / Staer members)
This duo comprises two-thirds of the mighty Staer, one of the best bands coming out of Norway in the past decade. It may be conjecture but we reckon Staer have won over pretty much every single person that have seen them perform live. The trio first spread its counter-cultural wings in 2008, gradually developing their bizarre bass-heavy instrumental noise rock. Golden Oriole is a direct continuation of Staer, keen on advancing their infectious and hypnotic music. They will release their debut on Drid Machine Records this March. Go see these guys, we guarantee you won’t be disappointed!
Golden Oriole
CELESTIAL BODIES (nl)
Debut Live show from this unholy union of Vincent Koreman (NIHILL, Drug Culture, etc.) and René Aquarius (Dead Neanderthals). From Nihill they inherited the pitch-black and noise-drenched sound that is deeply rooted in gnosticism and occultism, while they borrowed the avant-garde, free-jazz and improv sensibilities from Dead Neanderthals. Celestial Bodies' debut “Spit Forth From Chaos” is a cacophonous blend of anti-cosmic black metal and raw noise, propelled by an imperious drumming, tossing the listener into a nightmarish dimension where everything is Chaos, and Chaos is everything. The album was released on I, Voidhanger - one of the most adventurous labels currently active in the metal scene.
Spit Forth From Chaos
DJ ARUM SUPER (fr)
DJ arum super is the non-live performance alias of DJ Urine – a Parisian sound artist who creates literal sound collages from fragments of vinyl records. This evening he will 'just' play tunes; spicing up things nicely with a mix of mostly Southeast Asian popular music and various sound oddities. You might hear an instrumental Spazz track with bollywood vocals on top or 50s Japanese easy listening soundtracks mixed with noise.

The 47th Vrooom is a multilayered media event that revolves around the Live Cinema performance 'Total Fiction', a new Sonology duo that creates an audio maze from glitches and poetry, and a new project from the notorious Xentos 'Fray' Bentos, the man that gave homosexuality a good name (in the UK). Last but not least Ángel Prior will be DJ'ing some tunes.
PAUL CLIPSON with SHINYA SUGIMOTO & JEREMY YOUNG presents 'Total Fiction'
[A 16mm film projection event with live improvised score]
• Jeremy Young – reel-to-reel tapes and electronics
• Shinya Sugimoto – piano and electronics
• Paul Clipson – 16mm films
Taking its name from Shinya Sugimoto & Jeremy Young’s forthcoming LP featuring cellist Julia Kent, "Total Fiction" is a live score performance to a 16mm film projection by Paul Clipson that will change night by night in reaction to the properties of each space these artists are performing at. Like all of Clipson’s film collage works, this will be frenetic. It will span movements both in stark black and white and bright analog color. Sugimoto and Young will work to bring out auditory characters, narratives, themes and transitional arcs from the celluloid, while at times challenging the pictures to provide new meaning in new sonic contexts. Shinya Sugimoto performs on piano and Max MSP triggered processing, while Young will be utilizing his analog electronics such as reel-to-reel tape loops, oscillators, AM radio and contact mic’d objects and surfaces to build textural and tonal color palettes throughout the evening.

MOTABAR - ROESSLER DUO (ir/de)
• Sohrab Motabar – live electronics and glitch sounds
• Leonie Roessler – classic guitar, field recordings, soundscapes
Sohrab Motabar (Iran), and Leonie Roessler (originally from Germany) started their collaboration while studying together at the Institute of Sonology. Their duo pieces are improvised within a strictly fixed form, exploring ways of interweaving sound components ranging from harsh and loud to introspective and detailed, creating an unique tapestry of sound. Leonie and Sohrab have performed their works in NL and in cities like Berlin, Tehran, and Isfahan.

THE GARDEN OF FIFTHS AND SIXTHS (nl/uk)
[featuring: Xentos 'Fray' Bentos, Titi Tabarnac & Lee Lagerwall]
The Garden Of Fifths And Sixths is a peculiar assemblage of outsiders. Xentos is the legendary sole artistic survivor of the notorious 'Homosexuals' scene, where bands and records sprouted like poppies before disappearing into the void. Lots of releases of those days survived in obscure rereleases by likewise obscure labels. Xentos has worked with Rotterdam musician Titi Tabarnac as Perfect Vacuum, and made the album 'A Guide to the music of the 21th century'. Scottish artist Luke Fowler made a documentary about Xentos in which the latter refused to appear; 'The way Out'. Under the name 'Harmon Y Phraisier', Xentos made a series of absurdist radioplays for Radio Resonance 104.4 FM. Xentos' work has an overdeveloped pop-sensibility, mixed with a natural feeling for shameless absurdism and virtuoso musicianship gone wrong.
