SUMMARY:JIMMY WHISPERS
DESCRIPTION:A lot has changed for everyone in the past few years\, and especially for Jimmy Whispers. In another lifetime\, he was that sweet kid from Chicago who stole our hearts with his aw-shucks Midwestern attitude and his knack for writing catchy old-time melodies\, who legendary critic Jessica Hopper once called the city’s “greatest new homegrown musical enigma”. As for today\, Jimmy Whispers is alive and well in Los Angeles. He’s still making music—quite a lot of it. He’s got a blossoming new career as a music video director and filmmaker. He’s become a co-writer for others including Drugdealer and Dent May. He’s got a side hustle as a valet parking attendant\, a 1988 Buick Reatta\, and a new commitment to making life-affirming art.\n\n\n@jimmywhispersxo\n@primacaviar

SUMMARY:CLEVER MOOSE//THE PEACE PIPERS//KRISTINE VEDVIK
DESCRIPTION:The Peer Hat is very proud to welcome CLEVER MOOSE onto the Black Stage. A native of Jakarta\, the Moose cleverly weaves Middle Eastern refrains and elements into his psychedelic tapestry. Ever inventive\, ever mysterious\, this ought to be a classic.\nSKYMOUTH SAYS: “Moose can be dangerous when crossing roads. KEEP AN EYE ON THE TRAFFIC FOOL”\n\nTHE PEACE PIPERS are amongst the very best bands that Manchester can currently offer. Somewhere between Julian Cope\, The Levellers\, Hawkwind and Captain Beefheart\, they are true favourites of the Peer Hat. This will be their last gig with the current line-up\, so do not miss.\nSKYMOUTH SAYS: “If only the Peace Pipers were in charge of the world. WE’D PLAY IN THE SUN WITH OUR TEETH”\n\nNorway’s KRISTINE VEDVIK will be opening affairs with her intriguing brand of what I’m going to call Ghost Pop. Subtle and intelligent music which will delight and mystify in equal measure.\nSKYMOUTH SAYS “She is also a martial artist. FIGHT!”\n\n£7 etc etc

DESCRIPTION:Creating harmonious soundscapes with an acoustic guitar and a trusty Boss RC30 loop pedal\, JON WEREDE HOPE has gained a well-deserved reputation as an exceptional musician in Norway\, and now makes his performance debut in the United Kingdom.

On this tour he will be joined by Henry Lowrey on electric guitar and mandolin\, also featured on the album.\n\n\nFirst appearing on the Manchester music scene in 2019\, ANYONE’S GHOST made a large impact with a delicate sound\, her solemn songs touching on themes of death\, romance\, mystery and murder. The solo project of local songwriter Wanda Roslyn\, Anyone’s Ghost was born from the influence of dark folk and indie rock\, encompassed in poetic lyricism and an affection for literature. Usually wielding an acoustic guitar and a multitude of effects pedals\, Wanda is able to capture attention from the get-go with haunting vocals\, melodic guitar work and a soundscape formed with intensity and emotion.\n\nGC HOLMES is an solo artist and guitar player that has quietly constructed a veritable labyrinth of strange ‘almost pop’ ‘almost chamber music’ that will swiftly encourage you to become lost in its puzzling immensity. A new Peer Hat favourite.

SUMMARY:ATSUKO CHIBA with THE PEACE PIPERS & NEURAL DANCE
DESCRIPTION:Montreal’s ATSUKO CHIBA somehow crosses genre-defining borders with a cohesive and hypnotic blend of post-rock\, progressive rock\, and krautrock; weaving together a rich sonic tapestry that subverts through offbeat songwriting.\nAsymmetric\, yet seamless time signatures\, otherworldly synthetic frequencies\, patented harmonies\, raga-inspired melodies\, cryptic lyrics\, and orchestral arrangements co-exist delightfully.\nTHE PEACE PIPERS remain one of Manchester’s jealousy guarded\, best kept secrets. Virtuoso musicianship\, is married to an earthen psychedelia that owes as much to The Incredible String Band as it does latter day Julian Cope. Comparisons do not do a band as good as the Pipers justice. Fundamentally\, they rock.\nNEURAL DANCE have been honing a bruising\, cerebral brand of electro rock for a couple of years now. Angular\, yet also reminiscent of Tangerine Dream in their more fuzzed out moments. A band to watch closely as they turn more and more heads

SUMMARY:AAANNNDDDHHHIII//WOMAN'S TOUCH//JUDDERMAN
DESCRIPTION:AAAAHHHNNNDDDIII\, is a highly energetic genderqueer non-binary organism revealing themselves in a multimedia show full of energising hard electronic dance hymns.\nTheir performances consist of noisy and rhythmically versatile beats\, that guide their widely ranged voice to wander from fast cheeky rapping to voluminous uplifting singing. Their unique mix of German and English language playfully celebrates self-empowerment\, queer identities and radical friendslove. Animated lyrical visuals let you dive into the encouraging message\, inviting all to join and connect in karaoke-like singalong ecstasies.\n\nWOMAN’S TOUCH Unpredictable\, original\, and never boring. That’s Woman’s Touch. In her own words: “I want to tell you this story because you cared beyond the algorithm\, and I wanted to invite you into my brain so that you can connect the dots beyond the songs. I want to explain that this album focuses on failure\, loss of\nidentity\, establishing a new identity\, rebelling against the status quo\, attempting to preserve originality\, and loving one man a lot.”\n\nFinally\, shimmering spheres of sound from Manchester based electronic/indie three piece JUDDERMAN. Energetic\, melancholic\, euphoric – all in a heartbeat.

SUMMARY:LUSSURIA WITH BIRCHALL/McCLEAN & FUTURES WE LOST
DESCRIPTION:LUSSURIA is an ambient industrial project formed in the spring of 2007 by Jim Mroz. Heavily inspired by early dark ambient and industrial music\, Lussuria’s atmosphere is created through a combination of sound collage\, sampled loops and deconstructed musical sections. The result has been described as chilling\, even troubling. Like listening to a feeling just out of reach.\nThrough several acclaimed releases and performances stateside and abroad\, the project has been referred to as one of the leading voices of modern ambient industrial\nBIRCHALL/McCLEAN combines the talents of two of Manchester’s most daring experimental musicians. Expect a foray into realms of darkness and shadow\, jazzy and disintegrating; where sound becomes a menacing presence\, just behind one’s shoulder.\nFUTURES WE LOST is the dark post-industrial\, cinematic techno soundscape of electronic artist and producer Doug Gordon. Rising from the ashes of 2020’s grief and inspired by the artist’s ancestral roots under the crumbling mills and industrial scars of the northern English landscape; the self-titled upcoming debut album explores these post-industrial graveyards and dystopian future visions through the lens of our present day neo technological horrors. Sometimes a brutalist techno monolith to this mechanised slavery nightmare\, sometimes a dark ambient soundtrack to the distortion and living death of our dreams. A sonic memorial to all those futures we lost…

SUMMARY:Manchester Folk Horror Festival VI
DESCRIPTION:The Sixth Annual Manchester Folk Horror Festival\, continues our steady\, controlled (?) descent into the labyrinth. In a time when radical or so called ‘insane’ ideas must be considered and re/discovered (with the stakes being nothing less than the survival of life upon Earth)\, the Manchester Folk Horror Festival cannot be a celebration of images and meanings fetishised by academics and pop culture addicts. It must be a process\, or praxis. We are severed from the earth and from a deeper truth that extends beyond the merely mechanical. And coming back into that relationship\, is a terrifying experience. \nContained in this occurrence of the Festival\, is a reaching for something like magic in action. Terrifying? Yes. Fun? Also yes. And hopefully\, dare we say\, a very Mancunian occurrence. \nAs usual\, we’ve stirred up a series of adjectives and nouns to form something approaching a theme. This year\, it’s ‘True Hallucinations & The Myth Of History’\, almost referencing Terence McKenna and almost referencing Hauntology. (Whaddya think we are\, professionals?) We put forward the idea that multiple realities sit upon one and with one another\, all true simultaneously\, requiring only a shift in perspective to enter places at once\, utterly new and utterly familiar. Not a multiverse conceived to even out the books\, but a wider\, more impossible world\, wherein miracles are a matter of relation. What indeed\, is the city to the bee? \nHistory and the unreachable now\, remain ghostly images\, memories or stories which conjure images. An increasingly devastated British landscape of bound hills; smog horizoned cityscapes; landfills; quarries encroaching upon the sacred; skeletal pylons and incongruous wind turbines\, leads us to a kind of spiritual desolation. And yet\, in spite of this ravaging\, an opportunity is presented\, for as this process continues unabated\, we de-couple from the image of things as we have come to know them. The careful illusion of time and place is shattered and new histories and new liminal realities begin to emerge. Our relationship changes and we become like new born exotic moths\, native to a fractal apocalypse. Can we come to terms with our responsibility and our capability to imagine and indeed\, be imagined? \nFEATURING \nANGELINE MORRISON- Angeline Morrison is a singer\, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who explores traditional song with a deep love\, respect and curiosity. Angeline mostly makes music\nin the genres of wyrd folk and psych folk\, her work infused with elements of soul music\, literature\, ‘60s beat pop sounds\, folklore\, myth and the supernatural. \nWith a feral approach\, a handmade sonic aesthetic and a belief in the importance of tenderness\, Angeline’s original compositions and re-stitchings of traditional songs focus on storytelling and the small things that often go unnoticed. Sounds like solitude\, memory\, nostalgia\, a rainy walk amongst trees… \nIn July 2022\, Angeline was announced as the fourth winner of the prestigious Christian Raphael Prize at Cambridge Folk Festival\, which generously supports the development of emerging talent in the folk genre. In December 2022 The Sorrow Songs: Folk Songs of Black British Experience was voted No 1 Folk album of the year in The Guardian. \nYou can also hear Angeline as part of alt-folk duo We Are Muffy with Nick Duffy (of The Lilac Time)\, and psych-folk duo Rowan : Morrison with The Rowan Amber Mill. \nThe Sorrow Songs: Folk Songs of Black British Experience (released October 2022\, Topic Records) is a work of re-storying. The historic Black presence in the UK dates back to at least Roman times\, yet is often hidden\, forgotten or unacknowledged. The populations of enslaved African people and their descendants in the USA have their bodies of folk song\, which are vitally important for containing histories\, expressing feelings\, giving voice and claiming presence… but the Black ancestors of the UK have no equivalent body of song. The Sorrow Songs begins to address this. It is a gift to the forgotten Black ancestors of these islands\, and to the folk community here today. The album uses history and imagination to tell stories of UK Black ancestors in the sonic style of UK traditional and folk music. \nSHE THE THRONE- She The Throne is a profound mediation between noise and music\, soundscape and soundtrack\, and abrasion and sublimity\, imbuing meaning in each\, absent from either alone. Immersive\, compelling\, disjointed and in harmony\, they present one of Manchester’s finest portals into the other – a place of dreadful immanence and beauty. \n  \n  \nBURD ELLEN is a project featuring Debbie Armour (Alasdair Roberts\, Green Ribbons) and Gayle Brogan (Pefkin\, Electroscope). The group uses traditional song to explore and evoke dark landscapes and deep stories. Innovative instrumentation\, drone and sound-wash support detailed vocal work to create a unique sonic atmosphere. \nA Tarot Of The Green Wood is their third studio album\, released Oct 2022. Debbie Armour says “I’m a long time collector and lover of tarot\, and I’ve recently become drawn to the idea of finding parallels between interpretation of traditional song and the art of divination. Gayle and I have brought together a new collection of songs that reflect the ideas\, archetypes and imagery of the Major Arcana.” Developed on residency at Sage Gateshead\, the album also features guest appearances from Irish piper Ian Lynch (Fire Draw Near\, Lankum) and Newcastle-based composer Mark Wardlaw (Kenosist\, The Old Police House) \nA Tarot Of The Green Wood entered the Official UK Folk Album charts at number 17. It was number 5 in The Guardian’s Best Folk Albums 2022\, and also made Best of Year lists from Folk Radio UK\, Concrete Islands\, Record Crates United and more. Songlines magazine gave it a coveted Top Of The World spot and the singles received regular plays on BBC6 Music\, BBC Radio3 and BBC Radio Scotland. \nBurd Ellen have appeared at Cambridge Folk Festival\, Celtic Connections\, Fanø Free Folk Festival\, Cafe Oto\, The Glad Cafe and many other stages in the UK and Europe. They are carving out a sonically adventurous niche\, but one that is informed by a deep love and respect for traditional song.\n​\n“The most innovative duo in folk” – Folk Radio UK. (Best Albums of 2020 & 2022)\n“Magnificent” – 8/10\, Uncut Magazine\n“One of the finest folk explorers” – The Wire Magazine\n“Wonderful!” – Cerys Matthews\, BBC Radio 6 Music\n“Dripping with strangeness and unease” – The Guardian (Top 10 Folk Albums 2020 & 2022) \n  \nWOODEN TAPES-In May 2023\, musician and writer\, Tim Maycox’s Wooden Tape project delivered the album ‘Music From Another Place’ … a timeless collection of music that recalls pastoral lands\, summer months and folk rituals.\nHaving played in various bands\, supporting acts such as Teeth of the Sea and Mainliner and playing Liverpool International Festival of Psychedelia\, Tim has recently turned his attention to writing a set of pieces based on his memories of children’s television themes coupled with flashes of acid folk and classic OST music of the 1970’s & 80’s. Sonically the album is awash with picked acoustic guitars\, percussive adornments\, warm synth pads and organ. The titles themselves\, suggest lost soundtracks or memories of forgotten TV themes. \nFUTURES WE LOST is the dark post-industrial\, cinematic techno soundscape of electronic artist and producer Doug Gordon. Rising from the ashes of 2020’s grief and inspired by the artist’s ancestral roots under the crumbling mills and industrial scars of the northern English landscape; the self-titled upcoming debut album explores these post-industrial graveyards and dystopian future visions through the lens of our present day neo technological horrors. Sometimes a brutalist techno monolith to this mechanised slavery nightmare\, sometimes a dark ambient soundtrack to the distortion and living death of our dreams. A sonic memorial to all those futures we lost… \nTHE MANIFESTATION GROUP- Described as unique\, timeless and devastating\, The Manifestation Group explore the world of songs as living entities and the audience as lightning rod for the miraculaous. Folky\, psychedelic\, DIY\, hauntological strangeness and beauty. \n  \nBACK OF THE BRAIN-These proto-primordial sonic adventurers made a big impact on the people in attendance at their first gig last October. Drawing upon the artistic talents of some of the most talented and idiosyncratic artists in Manchester\, a genuine sense of the evocation of the unknown is palpably present. \n  \nSTEVE NINER Driving force behind Moelyci\, his principal areas of work are environmental and cultural\,with a particular emphasis on exploring the roots of the Northern European peoples ancestral trauma and disconnection from the other than human world and the ongoing repercussions of that around the world. He possesses a deep love of what’s known as folk religion\, spirituality and magic from all around the world and it is in the long term study of that \, which informs his inspirational work. \nMAYA BRAKNELL-WATSON is an interdisciplinary artist\, poet and researcher. \nHer work over the past 8 years has been informed by her shamanic studies\, work with the Wixarika (Huichol) and Mazatec tribes in Mexico\, and her work as a psychedelic parapsychology researcher in the study of N\,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT)\, entity encounters\, and ‘other worlds’ with Dr David Luke at Greenwich University. \nShe has performed and exhibited at Breaking Convention and the Tate Britain\, and is the host of Psychedelicacies\, an online lecture series. She is currently working with Second Sight Healing\, a neoshamanic organisation dedicated to the rediscovery of the animistic traditions of our land here in the UK\, and is a lecturer on the Semantrix Sessions\, a course on the intersection between Language and Psychedelics. \nWalking between the worlds of the arts\, science and the occult\, she combines media and investigative techniques from each to inform and articulate one another in the investigation of ontology\, consciousness and altered states\, interconnectivity\, the human condition and its relation to the environment\, otherness and mortality. \nShe describes her practise and research as contemporary Memento Mori (‘remember you will die’)\, and explores what that means in a\ntime of mass ecocide\, destruction and extinction. \nADRIAN REYNOLDS is a writer\, film maker\, tarot deck designer\, artist and life coach\, whose current Untraditional Stories project\, is finding increasing traction in an increasingly fracture world. These are tales for today\, shaped by myth\, pop culture\, planet and place. \n  \n‘AVANT TERROR presents: Häxan and the Horror of the Witch Hunts’ Ana K Miller \nIn Ana’s own words “An audiovisual exploration. Avant-terror presents a sound collage of music\, film\, fairytales and plays where witches and pagans are represented as evil/ depraved. Over the top I play music/film clips/soundtracks/plays that reveal the violence of the witch hunts. Towards the end\, I weave in musical explorations of modern forms of violence against women\, situating the witch-hunts within a wider history. This is played as a soundtrack to large parts of Benjamin Christenson’s classic film Häxan\, which I have collaged together to fit the music” \nMORE FILMS BY \nSian Williams\nHarri Shanahan & Anne Louise Kershaw\nAlena Lake\nWhitney Bluzma \nALSO: \nScary tales- Interactive Red Riding Hood With Pied Piper – Traë England-Shortt \nStage: \nSam Collinge\nAlice Godliman\nRosie Logosi\nJess Coulson\nPerformances by scary tales folk

SUMMARY:GODSTICKS
DESCRIPTION:It’s been a long and eventful road for Godsticks since emerging onto the scene with their eponymously titled EP in 2009 showcasing the band’s then progressive-rock leanings. Since then\, subsequent albums became progressively heavier and received further critical acclaim\, culminating in the ‘genre redefining’ prog metal masterpiece that was ‘Emergence’\, which ultimately led to them being signed to Kscope. Having extensively toured Europe since 2012\, in the last few years the band have finally gained recognition as the explosive\, high energy live act they’d always threatened to become. Drummer Tom Price and guitarist Gavin Bushell bring an accomplished and aggressive playing style to back up Darran Charles’ unique vocal sound and Dan Nelson’s driving bass. Godsticks released their sixth studio album in May 2023 on Kscope\, titled “This Is What A Winner Looks Like”. \nTheir fifth studio album ‘Inescapable’ – was released via Kscope in February 2020\, featuring in the top 20 of many end-of-year music journalist lists. The band embarked on a UK tour in 2021 followed by countless blistering festival appearances in 2022 including Tech Fest and Prog Power.

SUMMARY:Mary Ocher with Industries & GC Holmes
DESCRIPTION:Born in the wake of George Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece\, 1984\, in the capital of the world’s largest country\, upon which the novel was modelled\, Mary Ocher emerges as a powerhouse artist of Jewish/Ukrainian heritage. At the tender age of 4\, fate brought her to Tel Aviv during the turbulent Gulf War\, where she absorbed the raw currents of xenophobia and nationalism\, leaving a distinct mark on her creative output – a persistent pursuit of challenging authority and deconstructing the myth of nationhood.\nAt the age of 20\, Mary commenced a transformative odyssey in the adopted city of Berlin\, a city known for its cultural crucible and its welcoming of outsiders from all walks of life.\nShortly after she embarked on a whirlwind global tour\, gracing stages in 40 countries\, leaving audiences spellbound with her genre-defying soundscapes. Collaborating with luminaries like H.J. Irmler of Krautrock pioneers Faust\, Canadian psych-guru King Khan\, avant garde-legends Die Tödliche Doris\, Julia Kent and Felix Kubin\, Barry Burns (Mogwai)\, Red Axes\, composer Roberto Cacciapaglia\, Chicks on Speed and more\, Mary’s sonic universe knows no bounds.\nWith a repertoire ranging from traditional folk to raw ’60s garage\, from ambient soundscapes with ethereal vocals to experimental pop infused with African and South American rhythms\, Mary Ocher orchestrates a sonic tapestry like no other.\nOver the past decade\, she’s unleashed five studio albums on six labels\, along with a double anthology of raw home recordings\, two captivating EPs\, and two spellbinding collections of remixes. Each new release is a testament to her fearless exploration of musical frontiers.\nBut Mary Ocher is more than just a sonic explorer; she’s a force of nature in a world grappling with authoritarianism\, future technology\, and politics. Her relentless dedication to creating passionate\, uncompromising art serves as a rallying cry for those who yearn to push against the current\, challenging the status quo with every note and lyric.\nIn the face of a global pandemic\, Mary’s artistic spirit remained indomitable. She was personally invited by the visionary Animal Collective to grace the stage at the esteemed Le Guess Who? Festival.\nAmidst it all\, she released an autobiographical comic book\, a Ukraine charity EP dedicated to rebuilding shattered homes\, curated a three-day festival\, and compiled an album in support of girls’ education in Afghanistan featuring artists Gudrun Gut\, Xiu Xiu\, Ana da Silva and others.\nAs we step into the future\, Mary Ocher stands at the forefront of a sonic revolution\, with three exhilarating releases poised to redefine the musical landscape in 2023-2024.\nHer work remains as enchanting as it is polarizing\, sparking conversations on authority\, identity\, and conflict. In a world yearning for change\, Mary Ocher is the artist we’ve been waiting for – a fearless trailblazer in sound\, a fierce challenger of authority\, and an unapologetic visionary pushing the boundaries of music and meaning.\n\nINDUSTRIES is an electronic music project by Markus Hetheier. His music explores and subverts musical structures and ranges from field recordings\, distorted sounds to harmonic melodies and large beats. @industriesmcr www\,industriesmcr.bandcamp.com\n\nGC HOLMES is an artist that has quietly constructed a veritable labyrinth of strange ‘almost pop’ ‘almost chamber music’ that will swiftly encourage you to become lost in its puzzling immensity. A new Peer Hat favourite.

SUMMARY:Pakkyōne with Quick Drop & Slags In Tapestry
DESCRIPTION:PAKKYŌNE is a puppet dressed with tattered clothing\, safety pins and rags found in a small abandoned farmhouse. \nFrom a hollow tree he carved a perforated zither and assembled bizarre knick-knacks by beating stone\, copper and molten lead. \nBuilt without face and eyes\, it sometimes borrows masks of various shapes in order to observe the world and avoid tripping. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/@pakkyone6758 \nQUICK DROP comes by the way of the mercurial Gary Fisher\, and is a foray into industrial loop hell. \nSLAGS IN TAPESTRY Peer Hat favourites\, unite once more to trouble one’s sonic foundations.

SUMMARY:ALGIS FEDIAJEVAS with GC HOLMES & TALLULAH GUARD
DESCRIPTION:Lithuanian ALGIS FEDIAJEVAS embodies the philosophy of what it means to be a free spirit. By exploring human kindness through hitchhiking and busking\, he is inspired to write songs which question the reason while we are all here but without any sense of arrogance or self-righteousness to believe that he has the answers to these questions. Inner thoughts and questions in his own native Lithuanian language\, pose no barrier\, with a music that is deep\, primal and intrinsic. Vital.\n\nGC HOLMES began performing at open mics in Manchester in 2009 with a totally raw combination of primitive acoustic guitar and screamed poetry. He then formed his first band ‘The Genitals’ who played a handful of gigs in 2011. The Genitals disbanded and Holmes continued solo\, releasing an EP of 5 original songs entitled ‘Scarshark’ in 2014. After Scarshark Holmes started work on his debut full length album ‘Ultralove’\, it was recorded mostly live with his band at the influential EVE Studios\, and was finally released in 2019. Ultralove was endorsed by Manchester institution Piccadilly Records who agreed to stock the album in CD format and reviewed the album favourably\, with the words: “Woozy\, reverbed majesty”\, “Shimmering\, wide-ranging cinematic impact”\, & finally\, simply: “Lovely stuff all round”. Ultralove was variously compared to Bowie\, Richard Hawley\, Lift To Experience & The War on Drugs. After the release of Ultralove Holmes went back into the studio in early 2020 to start work on his second album entitled ‘Hearing’\, the work on which is still ongoing but with a tentative release date of late 2023/ early 2024. The sound of Hearing is the natural departure of an artist seeking new methods to produce work\, a deeper and more meditative sound\, a spiritual reflection of Holmes’ burgeoning interest in yoga & meditation. GC Holmes lives and waits tables in the centre of Manchester\, England.\nTALLULAH GUARD is a singer songwriter capable of plumbing raw and passionate depths. Covering a range of topics\, Tallulah is really starting to find theirfeet on the Manchester scene. Check them out as they open for us tonight

SUMMARY:Manu Louis with Indian Pale Male & Chermansog
DESCRIPTION:It’s hard to find a profile like Manu Louis in music…. \nBelgium born\, now Berlin based\, he studied composition with legendary composer Fréderic Rzewski\, electronic music on the internet\, and dancing during his concerts. \nA Passionate singer\, and knob agitator\, he also plays the guitar in his own unique punk jazz way… \nEqually at home working with electronic dance\, classical or jazz musicians\, Manu has performed his stuff from completely acoustic solo up to 200 wind players and everything in between. \nIn his music (fortunately\, as is the case today for many young musicians) style doesn’t exist. He mixes things that cross his path\, and creates new adventures of provocative and decontextualized juxtapositions. His general blueprint remains the same throughout\, but the ingredients he uses vary; from dissident chanson française\, genial dilettante\, avant-garde composers\, new beat\, old hits\, art-pop & hard bop. \nUnder his name\, Manu has released three LP’s and several 7’’ on Igloo Records\, Le Pacifique records and New Pangea. Recent years saw him perform his electronic solo shows more than 500 times in Europe and Asia (including: Bimhuis [Amsterdam]\, Fusion Festival [Lärz]\, Tremor Fest [Acores]\, La Casa Encendida [Madrid]\, PopKultur [Berlin]\, Tsutavo o Nest [Tokyo]\, DDC [Beijing] and Contrapop [Ramsgate]). Travelling with a village of electronic instruments\, and video projections from pop stars to animals\, he delivers passionate performances that switch gear into impromptu discotheque. \nRecently\, Manu has collaborated with Front de Cadeaux\, Héctor Arnau\, Ilan Manouach\, Systaime\, Escif\, Dawanggang and Carl Roossens. \nWith Sylvain Chauveau\, he co-founded Zero Carbon Records (an impossible label converted into ‘no oil/no electricity’ tours). With Mary Ocher\, he has co-curated the Underground Institute Festival (Berlin). And with Adrien Lambinet\, he co-directed ‘Music for Trees’\, a tribute to Garrett List. \nManu also gives workshops\, lectures\, makes DJ sets\, and has done mixes for Kiosk Radio\, Hotel Radio Paris\, Gonzai\, Noods\, Jolt Radio and Reboot FM.
