The show comprises stroboscopics effects inadvisable for pregnant women, epileptic people or ones who have pace maker.
The ninth installment of Trafó’s ELECTRIFY series takes us through Aïsha Devi’s Nepalese-Tibetan trans-music, the data-based modernist ambient of TCF and Helm’s evocative aural landscapes.
Aisha Devi
Laying her Kate Wax moniker to rest after releases on Trevor Jackson’s Output and James Holden’s Border Community, the enigmatic Aïsha Devi set forth on a new adventure with Danse Noire, her own sanctuary-label in 2013 dropping her EP Aura 4 Everyone. Devi’s own music mines her Nepalese-Tibetan heritage, using her machines to transmute deep meditation. Whether they are guttural or soprano, Devi’s warped pop mantras instruct us to find the unseen through a tense, visceral musical landscape that is often gnarled and industrial as it is danceable. Her debut LP ‘Of Matter And Spirit’, a “materialisation of her initiatic journey through her spiritual and origin quests”, was released last October through Houndstooth and was met with great success.

TCF
TCF is the moniker of Norwegian contemporary artist and musician Lars Holdhus. His work explores themes of code, cryptography and musical composition through the use of visual, sonic, built and written concepts. Holdhus creates a world that draws references from musique concrete, hardstyle, hardcore, poetry and digital artifacts. Using his own virtual instruments he builds a lysergic ambient space that is capable of dramatic outbursts as much as subtle fades. TCF’s affective compositions put him next to contemporaries like Lorenzo Senni, Ryoji Ikeda or Florian Hecker, not to mention Arca, whom TCF actually inspired early on in Arca’s career.

Helm
Helm is Luke Younger, a sound artist and experimental musician based in London, working with a vast array of revolving instrumentation and abstract sound sources. Throughout his ten year long career, Helm has put out more than twenty releases, a couple of which have seen the light of day at PAN, one of the most important record labels at the forefront of experimental electronic music. Olympic Mess, his last full length album released this past summer, focuses on the dialogue and repetition of wonderfully sculpted noises and heavily layered, floating soundscapes. Channeling influences from industrial, dub techno and even Balearic, Olympic Mess’s effort results in an experience equally soothing and physical – without doubt, an ecstatic journey.
