Charnel Ground: Desolation Colony, Aska, Sharps Formation, Vincent Dallas, Svartvit & Geseling at Occii Amsterdam

On the 29th of march Charnel Ground returns to OCCII for an evening of noise and heavy electronics uniting 6 projects from the United States, Iceland, Australia, Belgium and the Netherlands. Desolation Colony (United States) Joshua Strachan (Azar Swan, Blacklist, etc) and Tom Moore (Throne Heap) present a ruthless exploration of the psychologies and technologies of modern necropolitics conducted with grinding analog electronics and abrasive collaged samples. Aska (Iceland) Aska has effectively united melancholic melodies with unsettling noise. A dense web of microsounds is the result, without disturbing the reduced overall effect of the music. Co-existential to the haunting atmosphere of analogue synths and vocals, the drum-machine enters the scene with skeletal rhythms. Aska treads a wide spectrum, combining wave, industrial and noise. Sharps Formation (Australia) Ghastly and swarming tape-loops engulfed in static walls of noise by Minimal Impact‘s head honcho. Vincent Dallas (Belgium) Spontaneous harsh noise pushed into the red using field recordings and junk metal, fuelled by high ABV trappist Ales. Svartvit (Netherlands): Exploring the boundaries of sound since 2009. Svartvit sculpts corporeal sonic landscapes that pulsate with raw intensity. Through extensive manipulation acoustic sounds are held captive in the liminal space between their point of origin & grotesque indecipherable slabs of distortion. Geseling (Netherlands): Focused and densely textured harsh noise combining scrap metal, field recordings, feedback and electromagnetic interference.
