Giulio Erasmus

The Manchester-born, Brussels-shaped Giulio Erasmus plays with time, space, era, and the words that weave it all together.
After two solo records released on Mangel Records & Absolute Fiction (plus a freshly unveiled live album from Meakusma 2024), he now - joined by the quintet The End of The Worm - presents his new offering: Hard Sell.

A redigestion of forty years of underground English culture, collided by the urgency and freedom of Brussels' new wave; Hard Sell is an exploration led by a bassline that acts like a compass - around which swirl whispers, cut-ups, abstractions, percussion bursts and sudden clearings.
Together they shape a quiet narration, murmuring possible futures, indifferent to any of their consent.

Liegenaar

LIEGENAAR is an experimental improvisation duo from Antwerp. Their practice takes on different forms reaching from noise performances and sound installations to food art.

With an ever-changing set-up they construct an atmosphere that is both welcoming and hostile at the same time. They are interested in using a variety of lo-fi techniques and sound sources like tape recordings, diy electronics and found objects. This results in a mixture of murky vocalizations layered upon dissonant drones glued together with handmade and manipulated instruments carefully beaten to pulp.

Liegenaar is a (childish) corruption of the word liar. It is an accusation that is rendered harmless by the naivety that creeps into it.
