Whoops, it's our seventieth, how did that happen, will someone do an eulogy for us? On the program: A father/daughter dada-leaning duo whose improvised musical and geographical excursions will leave your head spinning like a well rubbered doughnut in a car park. A special occasion live collab between Guido Hübner (Das Synthetische Mischgewebe) and Rotterdam-based expert knob twiddler Roel Meelkop, and, last but not least: a live coding set by eerieear.


┆YEAH YOU┆uk
Yeah You is daughter/father duo Elvin Brandhi and Gustav Thomas. Their project grew from a desire to make something during every spare moment, using compact recording gear to turn banal everyday family drives to into spontaneous recording sessions in the car. Thomas’s distorted and alluringly jarred synthesisations act as a jagged platform for Brandhi to writhe improvised stream of consciousness lyrical trips. Their latest LP 'KRUTCH' is a burst of poisonous, weaponised pop spat out on the roam, and captures the exhilaration of driving with your eyes closed. Recorded mainly in a Renault Clio in The Netherlands and Germany throughout early 2017, it is the duo at a freshly terrifying apex, funneling desperation through an unerring noise pop lens.

┆DAS SYNTHETISCHE MISCHGEWEBE & ROEL MEELKOP┆de/nl
Guido Hübner (DSM) & Roel Meelkop have been involved in experimental music for decades. DSM initially formed as a group in Berlin in the early 1980s and quickly became part of the early international industrial cassette scene. Composing for light installations with open-reel machines, cassette recorders, microphone and guitar fuzz boxes, they created a type of electroacoustic anti-music. With unusual concerts in the underground network as well as in high art institutions and museums (Centre Pompidou, etc.), the group toured with changing casts for many years. Hübner remained as the fixed core. Meelkop has similar origins in projects such as THU20, Kapotte Muziek and GOEM. Together the duo will perform for this particular occasion. Their duo performance will be characterized by the use of modular sets on stage: an acoustic one (DSM) and an electronic one (RM).

┆eerieear┆ar
eeriear from Buenos Aires has been meticulously tuning up his scripts for his live-coding set at Vrooom. Live coding or 'on-the-fly programming' is an integral part of the running program in question. As a performing art form it is a creativity technique centred upon the writing of source code and the use of interactive programming in an improvised way. Live coding is often used to create sound and image based digital media, as well as light systems, improvised dance and poetry, though is particularly prevalent in computer music.
