:KRAAK3 Fest Review:
just got this KRAAK3 festival review of my set translated from flemish in
case any of you are interested...
================================
"The American duo "Twine" made their first appearance in Europe, and one
could sure tell. With an almost childlike enthusiasm they took pictures of
anything that moved even slightly, and with each concert they were nodding
along with twinkling eyes.
When it comes to music, they certainly are not second to any of their
colleagues: Circulation (which came out on Komplott last year) is a
brilliant exploration of sounds and structures, inspired both by the
experimental electronica and the electro-acoustic compositions of
Stockhausen and alike; a well-considered and organic game of acoustic and
electronic sounds, intangible vocals and ambient atmospheres.
This year, there's new work coming out on labels like Bip-Hop and Hefty, and
we already got a sneak preview [at the festival]. First conclusion: beats!
Whereas on Circulation they were almost consequently avoided, their live set
was full of mutated and abstract beats, that indeed gave the whole a bit
more punch but at the same time limited the subtleties. What was left was a
strong set of glitch, though lacking the innovative architecture that made
their album so overwhelming. Yet still: powerful and promising. Yours to
discover!"
