IV24 x Montez Press Radio: Bear Bones Lay Low, Farida Amadou, Lawrence McGuire, Lukas De Clerck
From April 14 to 21, we embark on our first international tour to New York, with a performance on the 17th, thanks to our partner @montezpressradio and the support of Flanders State of the Art. This marks a continuation of our previous collaboration in September, now presenting four Belgian artists—each distinct in their own approach—representing different facets of our sound culture.
Lukas De Clerck’s practice revolves around the Aulos, an ancient Greco-Roman double-reeded double pipe that went extinct over a millennium ago. His reimagination of the instrument, focusing on microtonality, psychoacoustics, and sound texture, has given it a second life, introducing it to new musical fields.
Lawrence McGuire (aka hogobogobogo) explores vocality in sound—both in its production and reception—while using the synthetic as a suggestive probing tool to investigate psycho-linguistic and acoustic phenomena. His work exists somewhere along the continuum of computer music and sound poetry.
Farida Amadou, on the other hand, lets her body do the talking, exploring the physicality of music-making through her distinctive style playing the bass guitar. Amadou has cemented herself as a key figure in contemporary improvisational music, engaging in a wide array of collaborations.
Bear Bones Lay Low is the moniker of Ernesto González, a fellow veteran of Brussels’ noise scene for over a decade. His musical compositions weave dissonant abstractions with high-energy rhythmic pieces and melodic reveries.
