KRETS

Saturday, December 15, 2012
Time: 17.00
Free admission

Those familiar with the avant-garde scene in Malmö will find a well-known chin behind the acronym DGK. Daniel Gylling Kacz was for around a decade active as a guitarist in the noise rock-/free improv-collective Fria Konstellationen. He has also been doing some acclaimed performances under the moniker Daniel Anka and as a bingo announcer at KRETS. DGK makes music mainly using guitars and different sound-generating devices. The result is a beautiful noise somewhere in between Keiji Haino and Florian Fricke. Expect more guitars and amplifiers than numbers of people on stage.

Newly dubbed cassettes in maximized cases will be for sale.

August 22 – 26, 2012
Time: 17-20 (Wednesday), 14-17 (Friday) & 12-15 (Saturday-Sunday)

August 18 – 19, 2012
Time: 11-19

What will the national hymn sound like one thousand years from now? Will it be played on already existing instruments – which even today are over hundred years old – or will it be played on electronic, anatomic or mechanic instruments not yet invented? In the workshop, the participants will confront these questions, followed by a task to construct their own instruments. These will later be part of an ensemble-based installation in which visitors can perform and present their own suggestions of national hymns for the next millennium.

Day 1: The workshop starts with a short introduction and continues with instrument-making using found materials.

Day 2: The participants will present their constructions and collaboratively build an installation in the gallery space.

The workshop will be held in Swedish and English.

Shoboshobo returns to KRETS to build zombies for three days. Together with the participants, he will construct characters in papier-mâché –pimped with ping-pong eyes, paint and clothes. A special zombie will also be made, with a built-in sensor that reacts to different sounds as someone approaches. These sounds will be recorded during the workshop, which will be followed by an exhibition made in collaboration between the participants and the artist.

Day 1: Short introduction of techniques and plans, after which the participants will construct arms, legs, heads and other body parts in papier-mâché.

Day 2:The body parts have dried and the participants will assemble their own zombies, and also paint and dress these.

Day 3: The participants will produce an exhibition at KRETS together with the artist.

The workshop will be held in English.

“Analog techno, digital folk music, Latin kraut, body soul… well, something like that. The Beast is back and has left its electric organ behind, but don’t worry, the grinding beats and the monotone loops are still there – but now we prefer synthesizers, effects, percussion and African thumb pianos. Put on your dancing shoes and dress comfy, or sit grumpy in a corner, everything works.” – Beast
