Hidden Behind x TIme vol.IX

TIME will be vacated by a special curation featuring haunting ambient//noise electricity! Curated by @hiddenbehindmist for its ninth edition, almost wrapping up the year. TONTO Tonto came out of the most perverted wet dreams of Big Black, Zu, Melt Banana, Deerhoof, Hella, Lightning Bolt, and Death Grips. You can call it Noise, but it's groovy like Hip-hop but raw like Punk. Tonto is a no-guitar one-man band, with drumset and voice amplified in a jungle of distortions and digital artifacts. You get some sexy blast beats but also African polyrhythms at times, a lot of bumbum-cha like ghettoblasta and occasional ass-shaking straight 4/4. Tonto is a musician with a computer, like a monkey in a spaceship. Soon To Expire The good side of weird. The black-and-white era opera extravaganza. The sound you’d hear if your grandmother were spiked with acid before her cabaret show. Going against the time itself by reviving what was once lost. The Dutch/Lithuanian project Soon to Expire creates hauntology (the idea that elements from the social and cultural past return as a ghost) based on recordings from the 1920s. The typical crackle of outdated sound recording technologies hides in cheerful, usually danceable music, which the couple further manipulates and lets the noise flood in. Thanks to theatrical opera vocals, they descend into a distinctive cabaret full of fantastic revelations and dark hints. AA222 analog ambient project by Stijn van Casteren. Based in Rotterdam, the project combines tape loops, electrical hums and echoing street sounds to create a synthetic landscape of textures, tones and patterns.
