Musica&Visioni 1 --Weird Tales
Fennesz + Lillevan
Though hidden under layers of electronic throbs and digital alchemy, a performance by Fennesz is an ancestral rite, an almost metaphysical process in which Music, or maybe the essence of Music, reaches the darkest corners of our perception. After his start as a punk-rock guitarist, Austrian Christian Fennesz became a key figure of glitch-influenced electronic music, admired by Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Sylvian for the dreamlike quality of his experimental sound. His collaboration with German video-artist Lillevan will be a keystone, a fusion of moving images to the sound of music, a contamination of different languages that sets the necessary course of world electronic avant-garde.
