Thanks to Julia and Ann we could invited Eleh to play in Brussels, as part of one of the events organized by Q-O2. Eleh is one of our favourite artists, everything he does has a purpose and a sense that goes beyond the pure aesthethic power of sound. He was with us in Madrid and Barcelona too, playing @ Festival Electronica en Abril, and we already miss him, an incredible person.
Tuesday 5 april 2011, 20.30
Q-O2 @ Beursschouwburg
A. Ortsstraat 20 - 28. 1000 Brussels
Tickets: 6 €
Eleh
"The stuff that Eleh sets in motion from whatever electronic sound generators he/she deploys represents a measured and methodical paring away of all that might appear superfluous, baroque and rococo. Each of the tracks here consists of just a handful and discrete (and discreet) but highly charged sound events that emerge, overlap, recede and reverberate at critical frequencies over extended durations. At certain crucial points this approach serves as a formula for opening a portal what David Toop has referred to as the dark void, that spectral realm magicked into being (or exposed by) the drone, in which audio apparitions and chimeras dance through smoke and mirrors, suggesting the existence of occult planes and dimensions, multiple other realities, worlds within worlds." (Tony Herrington in The Wire)
