OCCII on tour & Meduse MagiQ: Chris Rainier + PC Worship + BLUE CRIME

Friday, September 18, 20h, entrance € 7

One of Amsterda’s finest concert halls is being renovated, so OCCII is on tour this summer. On September 18 they’re teaming up with Meduse MagiQ at De Ruimte to give you three concerts.

CHRIS RAINIER
For over a decade, London-based composer/improviser Chris Rainier has focused on extending the sonic possibilities of the lap steel guitar beyond its historic use and context. Embracing techniques that range from the mechanical to the electronic, he continually explores new musical territories that draw on an array of influences: tape looping, pre-war Hawaiian steel guitar, prepared piano, and the microtonal world of Harry Partch. His most recent album ‘man and the echo’ received critical acclaim in various experimental music publications, including The Wire.

PC WORSHIP
PC Worship is a band, solo project & collective of musicians, trimming steadily on the outskirts of punk, while enlisting methods of new music and free improvisation. Aesthetically the band is uncommitted and explorative, basing the generalized musical direction on artistic expression and the commitment to creative self fulfillment. “PC” is a catalyst for ambiguity…

BLUE CRIME
BLUE CRIME was born in an Amsterdam bunker. An experimental four-piece. A trip from the disarming to the wrenching. Did the wolf devour the moon? Stories unabridged and told on their first EP ‘Tyr’.
