The concert of two Swiss bands will be carried out in cooperation between Zavod Sploh, Swiss Music Days and Menza pri koritu.

Diatribes
Cyril Bondi – floor tom, objects
d’incise – laptop, objects

Diatribes – a duo of hyperactive improvisors from Geneva, Switzerland, since 2004 – is defined by an assemblage of objects/percussions/electronics, a dense and laid sound, a tension between horizontality and cuts, an acoustic hyper-sensibility, a minimal language with a generosity of matter, layering textures and drones in a lively but stable way.

After a voracious youth exploring free jazz, noise, musique concrête and free improv, and many collaborations with international musicians such as Magda Mayas, Bertrand Gauguet, Robin Hayward, Dominic Lash, Partick Farmer, Derek Shirley and Hannah Marshall, Barry Guy, Keith Rowe, amongst others, they have chosen to focus on their own strict duo music. During the past year they have intensely toured across Europe and beyond (archive here).

Stephan Thut – cello, objects, sound recordings

Stefan Thut is a composer and cellist working and living in Solothurn (CH) and abroad. After experiences in new and experimental music, improvisation and noise he started writing scores. His compositional strategies involve permeable systems being relativly determined but still unpredictable in their results. Besides instrumental works he wrote several text scores that serve as a template in sound recording. Scores were realized at the Kunstraum Düsseldorf (2007), at Kid Ailack Concert Hall, Tokio (2007/09) and at the Diapason Gallery, New York (2010). As an interpreter he has performed many compositions by representative and affiliated composers of the edition wandelweiser.
