Perrine en morceaux

Perrine en morceaux is an unclassified solo project by French artist Perrine Bailleux. Her current show and album RIEN (meaning ‘nothing’) are composed as one continuous restless hardpop opera. She produces uneven electronic soundscapes out of repetitive & polyrhythmic skeletons made of concrete sound recordings, she works with unsynchronized hardware loop machines, a Kaosspad, a Casio SK1 and an mbira, and uses sounds from Gristleism sound.

Incarnated and direct, as utterly melodic as it is inhabited, her voice deploys political poetry and metaphysical anecdotes about time. Self-taught musician, singer, composer, performer and writer, she signs music, albums, videos, graphics and shows.

KNALPOT

With dub, rock, electronic noise, ambient and jazz as its main pillars, KNALPOT’s sound always remains an utterly hybrid mix of many genres, scraping the borders to trance with their very own stumble-grooves. During concerts they keep reinterpreting their compositions in a virtuoso way of multitasking between bass, guitar, casio’s, drums and big amounts of analogue electronics, creating sonic whirlwinds and wall-of-sound goodness that alternate with whispery-soft sections. This austrian/french/german duo operates from its home-base Amsterdam and has reached the status of one the Netherlands most exciting live-bands since the release of their debut-release Serious Outtakes in 2009. Even though KNALPOT appears as a duo on stage, third band member soundman Sandor Caron shapes their sound with great aesthetics, both live and in the studio.
