SHAPE Radio Show - 28th June 2016

A monthly programme by SHAPE (Sound, Heterogeneous Art & Performance in Europe), the platform established in 2014 by 16 European festivals with support of EU's Creative Europe programme to promote up-and-coming musicians and innovative audiovisual artists. This edition: Hyperaktivist, Jackson, and Orphan Swords. Ana Laura Rincón, aka Hyperaktivist, blends hyperactivity with activism. She co-founded the SOLO club in her native Venezuela, which became a prominent and central space for electronic musicians and DJs. Jackson, whose debut, 'Smash,' was released to wide acclaim in 2005 by Warp, brought a sense of the post-millennial baroque to rave. Ten years later, Jackson was working at IRCAM where he developed Light Metal Music, a performance that manipulates metal surfaces and strings. Orphan Swords is a Brussels-based duo that draws on industrial, techno and beyond.
