Ametric

OCD Project and Coherent States are once again joining forces for the realization of Ametric Festival 2023

San Salvador

OCD Project and Coherent States are once again joining forces for the realization of Ametric Festival at the very special venue of San Salvatore Bastion, Chania, where the Venetian architecture creates a unique and eerie concert setting, absolutely suitable for the sonic and aesthetic highlighting of the experimental nature of the music.Ametric Festival 2023 will host the first ever performance in Greece of the experimental ambient pioneers :ZOVIET*FRANCE: (with a dense discography from the early 80s), the dark ambient, industrial and techno essence of DEMDIKE STARE (in an exclusive set by Miles Whittaker ), the intense and heavy electronics of GAËL SEGALEN, the performance of the feminist avant-garde duo I BROKE THE VASE, the collage sound poetry of ANGELOS KYRIOU, the glitch electronica of DALOT, the sound compositions of DIMITRA KOUSTERIDOU and the playful artsy universe of BABAK AHTESHAMIPOUR . The main purpose of Ametric Festival is the gradual integration of contemporary experimental music into the cultural events of Crete, through a series of events that will take place every year, with the aim of establishing the festival as a meeting point of experimentalists from every corner of the planet during summer months, as well as the simultaneous consolidation of San Salvatore as the space where this musical dialogue takes place.Friday 15.09.2023:ZOVIET*FRANCE:GAËL SEGALENI BROKE THE VASEBABAK AHTESHAMIPOURSaturday 16.09.2023DEMDIKE STARE (exclusive Miles Whittaker set)ANGELOS KYRIOUDALOTDIMITRA KOUSTERIDOUtickets: 20 € per day/ 35 € for 2-day ticketTicket spot: B is for Beer - Daskalogianni 55online: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ametric-festival-2023-zovietfrance-demdike-stare-more-15-160923-tickets-633795628787?utm_campaign=post_publish&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=eventbrite&amp;utm_content=shortLinkNewEmailtechnical support: εναΔύο πολυμέσαgraphics: John Kontandreopoulos / Semitone LabsUK legends :Zoviet*France: started their trajectory in the late seventies from Newcastle. At a time that punk was dying out and industrial came to the foreground, Ben Ponton, Robin Storey, Lisa Hale and Peter Jensen, as an anonymous artistic collective, wanted to create an antithesis to the current perception of art and for years they maintained a shroud of mystery around their presence and were denying to do any interviews, collaborations or concerts. Moreover they were choosing totally unconventional materials to package their releases further deepening the element of mystery about them. Their music was combining elements that became comprehensible by a wider audience decades later. From the deconstructed and aggressively rough industrial of “Garista” (1982) and the experimental proto-techno soundscapes of “Mohnomishe” (1983) up until the ritualistic tribal ambient atmosphere of “Shouting At The Ground” (1988), the band that was based around the duo of Ben Ponton and Robin Storey, created an idiosyncratic and intensely bizarre and sensual world that was not alike anything else. From 1995 until today, Ben Ponton and Mark Warren, having moved towards uncharted territories of experimental glitch ambient, continue to materialize the vision of :Zoviet*France: with their discography containing more than 20 albums.Their involvement with the underground and their dialogue with contemporary experimental music remains their priority, as they maintain the weekly show “A Duck in a Tree” on London’s Resonance FM, which as they say, has as a goal, the showcasing of all genre-refusing recordings of young artists that has drawn the duo’s attention.Up until 2019 it was almost impossible for some to obtain a record by :Zoviet*France: as their catalog had been sold out for decades. The historical record label Vinyl On Demand proceeded to do a massive reissue of the band’s oeuvre in a span of just three years, something that re-established their name in the contemporary musical scene and gave the opportunity to audiences to see them live in few and rare performances. :Zoviet*France: will be perfoming for the first time in Greece at Ametric Festival 2023.:Zoviet*France: can be found online athttps://soundcloud.com/zoviet-francehttps://www.facebook.com/zovietfrancehttps://twitter.com/zoviet_franceDemdike Stare is the collaboration duo between Sean Canty and Miles Whittaker, two childhood friends from Lancaster that developed common musical interests and voracious appetites for record collecting. They formed in 2009 at a time period that both were established performers/DJs in the Manchester music scene. Their music was an experimental mix of ambient, industrial and techno filtered through a really dark urban prism, a type of music and aesthetic identity that was emphatically present in the record trilogy of &quot;Liberation Through Hearing&quot;, &quot;Voices Of Dust&quot; &amp; &quot;Forest Of Evil” LPs that came out in 2010. The transitional “Elemental” (2012) saw them start a somewhat more extroverted exploration of club music, something that took off in the seven 12” records of the Test Pressings series by Modern Love, and solidified in the next two LPs &quot;Wonderland&quot; (2016) and &quot;Passion&quot; (2018). In a parallel line to their discography, they released a series of mixtapes on cassettes that incorporate a wide variety of influence from jazz to library music to industrial, with the wide range of their musical exploration also showcased in their recent collaboration of the guitarist Jon Collin, which created an idiosyncratic mix of folk, dub and ambient experiment. At the same time, they run the record label DDS (a sub label of Modern Love) wherein, amongst their own musical works, they release works by Nate Young (Wolf Eyes), Shinichi Atobe, Micachu (Mica Levi) and Shackleton along with several others.Demdike Stare have refused to rest on their laurels or become overly familiar with their surroundings, creating an odd tension that’s perhaps most evident when contrasting the sheer scale of the projects they have undertaken in just the last couple of years – from live-scoring films for the BFI to more commercial soundtrack work such as their input on Xan Cassavettes’ “Kiss Of The Damned”, the Nicolas Cage drama “Joe”, and the post Breaking Bad Movie “El Camino”.This bridges over to their more multi-disciplinary projects such as their collaborations with filmmaker and video artist Michael England that resulted in the ‘Concealed’ productions featuring Krakow’s Sinfonietta Cracovia, which was also featured in Doug Aitkens Station To Station curation for the Barbican, and their critically acclaimed A/V show which debuted at Berlin’s Atonal festival in 2017. Ametric Festival 2023 will have the rare opportunity to host a solo DDS set by Miles Whittaker.Demdike Stare can be found online athttps://soundcloud.com/demdikestarehttps://modern-love.co.uk/French musician Gaël Segalen has been a genuine explorer of sound for more than 20 years.

Writing and reading of autoethnographic texts, participation of the body, as well as interaction with the space and the environment lie at the center of their work. Being also musicologists and sound researchers, apart from performers, they employ practices such as soundwalks and recordings of listening experiences, while experimenting through feminist and caring artistic processes.
