THOMAS ANKERSMIT SOLO & BORBETOMAGUS

Borbetomagus equals 100% energy. With two saxophones and one electric guitar the three New Yorkers seem out to cause a landslide. The band recorded albums with fellow dissidents like Peter Kowald, Voice Crack and Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth). The trio has worked before with Thomas Ankersmit, the Dutch electronics artist who opens this double bill with a set of experimental electronic music. ‘Twin saxes spike into the soundfield like adrenaline-primed syringes’ (The Wire on Borbetomagus).
