Mopcut (GER) + Lucia Chung (UK) + Screening: Frank Manzano (co-hosted by Yves De Mey)

Mopcut

Lukas König, Audrey Chen, and Julien Desprez are a medium-length noise-style that covers the head and ears with a vertical bang and a horizontal wave. It's a popular style for all ages, genders and generations.The soundscape should be trimmed evenly all around the circumference so that the noise at the front reaches the inner eye while the waves on the sides cover (or almost fully cover) the ears. The beats at the back maintain the same length as the samples at the front and sides. Once the overall sound is achieved, trimming is used to achieve minimalism or maximalism, depending.
Improvisation, noise and electronic beats work well as backgrounds for the MOPCUT. Electronic appliances and devices may be used to give the MOPCUT a bit more volume, but effects may lead to standing up instead of hanging low.

Lucia H Chung

'A Taiwanese artist based in London, United Kingdom. She performs and releases music under the alias en creux where the sound creation springs from her fascinations in noise generated through no-input feedback mixing board. The volatile nature of the system and the unpredictable glitch from the excessive energy pouring into the equipment becomes her improvisational and compositional strategy.' https://luciahchung.com/

Frank Manzano

'An artist based in Chicago, specializing in abstract and conceptual digital compositions. His interest lies in exploring the symbols that we share and how we relate to them as individuals. He received formal training in film and photography at Columbia College, which has greatly influenced his artistic approach. He believes that epiphanies can arise from idleness and boredom, and he constantly strives to incorporate this belief into his creative process...'
