3 fascinating experimental acts

Part Wild Horses Mane on Both Sides is Manchester-based performance duo Kelly Jayne Jones and Pascal Nichols. They present improvised music with a mix of electro-acoustica and Japanese No-Theater. Their work has already appeared on labels like Beniffer and Golden Lab records. Listen here.

JSCA = Tandem from Rotterdam, consisting of Michiel Klein and Marijn Verbiezen (both also play in Sweat Tongue and are a part of Kraus’ band). Stripped-down power-electronica and icy female vocals. The Calvinist version of Throbbing Gristle. Listen here.

Talented young Australian composer Henry Andersen works on subtle conceptual compositions in which he explores and defragments the conventional definitions of music. He does so by means of electronica, white noise, word plays, sign language and investigation into the musicality of dialects and the pronunciation of non-native speakers. Listen here.
