MUSIC TO COME presents Al Karpenter, Sunik Kim & Dominic Coles
Wednesday 30 March, 2022 @ 19:00 - 22:30
£10Al Karpenter (Barakaldo) is an outsider among the underdogs and an ingenious dilettante who likes to challenge of course of history. His live performances are as rare as they are unpredictable. Listening to his album “Musik from a Private Hell” (Bruit Direct Disques), we are immediately caught by his disembodied singing with positive nihilism. It’s the end of the world but the best is yet to come.
His music has been also been released by ever/never (NYC), Munster (Madrid) and Crystal Mine (Burgos) and has been described as lonely post-industrial weirdness, deconstructed Fushitsusha or as the perfect soundtrack for our grim times.
For this unique stage appearance, the duo will be accompanied by the improvisers Marta Sainz (bass and vocals),Enrique Zaccagnini (electronics) and Mattin of the groups Billy Bao and Regler (computer). File under non-musique, No more heroes anymore.
Sunik Kim is a musician, writer and filmmaker currently based in California. Their last album, Zero Chime, was released in 2019 on First Terrace Records and featured Kim playing alto sax alongside a multitude of traditional Korean instruments. They are also a regular contributor to experimental music publication Tone Glow, and have had writing featured in Pitchfork, Bandcamp Daily, Soap Ear, Bellona Magazine and elsewhere.
Dominic Coles is a composer & improviser based in Queens, NYC. His work investigates the interactions of place, personhood, and power as they are articulated in sound, attempting to complicate and intervene in these categories through specific acts of technologically mediated listening.
