Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival / United Kingdom
This is an exchange between two major players on the contemporary scene, 2e2m and zeitkratzer, coming from radically different musical approaches and cultures, in a genre-breaking performance.
Metal Machine Music, an opus by the legendary Lou Reed, is reinterpreted here in an off-the-charts live acoustic version! French composer Kasper T. Toeplitz (1960) also goes back to the essence of composition in this pure sound piece, an energy drone that deconstructs and reinvents the instruments' transmutation.
