Theater aan het Spui | The Hague | The Netherlands
TodaysArt
festival, formerly known as the "CultuurNacht", is a yearly international and
multidisciplinary festival for contemporary art and culture in The Hague, the
Netherlands. This year's fourth edition of the festival takes place on September
22nd and 23rd at more than 25 locations in the city centre, both in- and
outdoor. The line-up consists of more than 200 acts and artists from over 25
countries. After the success of the CTM/TodaysArt collaboration of the previous
year, CTM (club transmediale), Berlin's annual festival for adventurous music
and related visual arts, again has put together two ravish concert nights for
the TodaysArt Festival 2006.
Headlining the first night and definitely a
major high-light of this year's TodaysArt celebration is a rare stage
performance by 76-year old French electronic music pioneer JEAN-JACQUES
PERREY. After his memorable first-ever German appearance at this past
CTM.06 festival he returns on stage for one of his eceptional shows and teams up
with likeminded compatriot and strange music weirdo DAVID
CHAZAM. The name Jean Jacques Perrey should be immediately familiar to
electronic music fans, particularly those who are aware of the Moog
synthesizer's golden age of the '60s and '70s. But unlike most of those LPs -
which usually covered other artists' tunes from the Beatles to Bacharach to Bach
and beyond - Perrey's albums were mostly filled with catchy, incredibly happy
original tunes showcasing the man's wacky musical sense of humor. At a time when
electronic music was sober and serious, the dose of humor and playful glee he
brought to it was revolutionary. Berlin's CANDIE HANK aka
Patrick Catani opens the night with his grotesque one-man-outer-limits
entertainment show - a collision of Rock'n Roll, Moog influenced synthscapes,
Belly-Dance-Punk and Gabber-like Proto Pop.

For
the second night JASON FORREST and PURE host
the Breakcore-mini-festival WASTED 3 and bring some of the most
radical and freshest electronic music around these days. WASTED is a series of
mini-festivals to celebrate loud, fast, radical and mostly electronic new musics
unified by a bold spirit of unrespectful dissent, unruly enthusiasm and a
mountain of positive energy, that are generally summed up under the loose terms
of Breakcore, Mash-Up or Raggacore. WASTED originates from ideas offered to CTM
by Jason Forrest and Pure - the two main forces behind all three WASTED
festivals up to now - for its first installment as part of CTM.05 in February
2005. A CTM offshoot, WASTED nowadays is a festival in its own right. With CTM
handling all production issues behind the scenes, offside music experts Forrest
and Pure have both their hands free to reach deep into the music networks they
are active parts of to bring up the most surprising line-ups, that boast from
energy, humor, sonic mayhem and musical radicalism.Expect Cut-up samples from
Metal, Hip-Hop, Ragga, Disco and whatever else the digital scissors pick as
their prey; irregular beats accelerated to the max, abrupt breaks and deafening
fuss, all woven into tracks that fuse wicked wit with brutality and roguish
laughter with abysmal darkness. With performances by VENETIAN SNARES,
OTTO VON SCHIRACH, THE SERVANTS OF THE APOCALYPTIC GOAT RAVE, FFF, LADYSCRAPER,
PURE, JASON FORREST and more.
