Ar Ker

(France)

After some blistering performances in recent years by the likes of Mei Tei Sho, Ukandanz, Pixvae and Chromb!, Druga Godba once again plugs into the Lyon music scene. Le Périscope club suggested that Ar Ker might just be the shamanistic electronic ritual we needed to kick start the festival – and we agree. Seb Brun, who has appeared with Jeanne Added, Yasmine Hamdan and Magnetic Ensemble, is one of the most active musicians on the French noise jazz scene, offering up whole worlds of sound, space and speed, and rhythms that are organic and mechanical all at the same time.
