WSK 2017 - Ruthless X Noisebath PH
NOISEBATH X RUTHLESS
24 Oct | Tue | 9pm | free admission
Today x Future
(7-T Gen. Malvar St., Araneta Centre, Cubao, Quezon City)
One of the six major acts of WSK AXIS 2017: Festival of the Recently Possible, Noisebath x Ruthless is a night of collaborative explorations of visceral, abysmal noise that which violates the eardrum and articulates its own overwhelming presence upon the body. Noise has been understood as sound that falls beyond the reach of the normal, sound that is undesirable, sound that perennially finds itself on the outside. However, it reimagines its stature and recapitulates itself within the center, operating upon the underbelly of the present and reconfiguring its situation as brutal and unwanted to construct a new center that thickens with volume and texture, not meaning.
PERFORMERS: Lush Death x Dethomega x Slay Your Boyfriend | Kahugyaw x Drago Katzov | To Die [Indonesia]
RUTHLESS is an organization among musicians and sound artists in the Philippines. The main intention of the faction is to educate people to understand the creative construction and demonstration of “Sound” as an art form and the principal element for making music.
Noisebath PH is an open community for experimental sound artists in Philippines. It started in 2015 as an online documentation of Sunday Oddities, a weekly simulation and recording of live noise tracks in Tarlac. It hosted the Dead Nation noise bombing, a series of live sets by experimental sound artists including Lush Death, Slay Your Boyfriend, Dethomega, To Die, Drago Katzov, Gen Thalz, Pet School, Hibernation and many others. Noisebath PH is also acting as a semi-label for noise releases of Hibernation including a collaboration with Slay Your Boyriend, a harsh noise detonator from San Juan, Manila. Through the efforts of artists from Rizal and Manila, Noisebath PH is still continuing its existence as a community for sound artists.
