beside the management of raster-noton he is responsible for graphic design and public appearance of the label. additionally bender performs solo under the pseudonym byetone. bender creates his music digitally. he assembles sine tones to complex sound fabrics. digital clicks and effect plug-ins are essential to create the rhythms. all this is brought in a timely relation and so a track is born — an artificial world without any physical effort.
computer music is often hard to perform in front of an audience. although possibilities seem almost unlimited it is difficult to present this music in a concert setting without an immense deal of technology. bender therefore uses visuals in the sense of animated light. abstract animations support the abstract pieces of music — in this way the rhythm of music is transformed into a graphic equivalent. by using the computer bender controls the animations in realtime. in connection with sound effect processing this enables him to interact live on stage.
KANGDING RAY (FR, Raster-Noton)

Kangding ray’s music reflects his wide musical background, and a particular way of merging beats and textured soundscapes into slowly evolving compositions.
KR combines machines with « real instruments » in a subtle and rythmic suite, integrating digital anomalies, walls of distortion, massive bass lines, micro-noises, voices and field recordings to create tracks that sit right between noise-pop, dubstep and experimental music.
His live performances are intense moments of musical experimentations, mixing different layers of instruments, using analog synthesizers, drum pads or guitars.
KR performs solo, or together with his « band » mates :
Yacine Djeradi is playing the E-Drums, and Loic Lebouteiller is turning the knobs on a Waldorf Pulse, a Microwave XT and an Access Virus.
LOOPS HAUNT (GB, Black Acre / Fortified / Eklektik)

Loops Haunt must be crazy. or a genius. most likely he is both at the same time… only 24 years old, he throws a sound at his audience, that combines basslines a la Milanese with beats so dope, that they could be coming fresh out of Madlib’s MPC! And still manages to achieve an musical eclecticism worth of a Frank Zappa. But still he is a logical extension of the new UK Bass Music sound from his home country Scotland, which, with the help of the innovaters behind the Numbers label, changed the dancefloors around Europe in 2010. We wereN’t the only one being convinced by his sound: Loops already played with all the big ones from Aphex Twin to Autechre and was even on the road with 65daysofstatic as their support act on their last tour!
The night is as always hosted by the lovliest record store crew you will ever meet: DISSCOXX & JADE MONKEY!
