Sounds Like
"Electrominimalism, digital fragmentation and broken rhythms synchronized with abstract videos of cold and grey environments. The sonorous field of Incite/ appears from a rhythmic subterranean punch, austere and at the same time rich in an enormous variety of shades, that acts as a mattress over which they create a musical spectre (multifrequencies) of wide registers and tones, served in the form of layers of a minimal character that progress gradually through loops and patterns that break constantly. All of it with the additional incentive of the conciseness of their compositions: not very long themes, schematic and direct to the nervous centre of the listener." (october 2006, experimenta club festival, madrid)
incite/
eye-catching grayscale audiovisual art
dynamic distorted idm-beats
criss-crossing art and club worlds
immersive synaesthetic experience for ears and eyes
incite/ is the Hamburg-based audiovisual electronics duo of Kera Nagel (solo: axiomatic integration) and André Aspelmeier (solo: GradCom).
Mixing eye-catching experimental audiovisual art with dynamic distorted IDM grooves, the duo criss-crosses art and club worlds, creating intense experiences for ears and eyes. Fragmented electric junk, fragile bursts of static noise and extra-charged sub-bass-kicks join abstract monochromatic imagery. incite/ play seriously weird glitch and quasi-danceable grooves in synced conjunction with intense grayscale visuals.
incite/ 's audiovisual creations center around the duo's everyday life. The distorted visuals are mostly unrecognizable, hiding the underlying stories – an exciting expedition for the audience.
Live shows are the main focus of incite/. Since April 03 Kera and André have played far more than one hundred gigs: tours in Europe and the US, gigs on international festivals such as Némo (Paris), Forms of Hands (Gladbeck), (h)ear XL (Heerlen), 5DaysOff (Amsterdam), Cimatics06+08 (Brussels), ExperimentaClub (Madrid), Dokfest (Kassel), Gogbot (Enschede), RECmadrid (Madrid), Media Art Biennale WRO 07 (Wroclaw), VAD Festival (Girona), The Great Escape (Breda), Simultan Festival (Timosoara), Kontra-Musik Festival (Malmø), LEM (Barcelona), OpenZemos98 (Sevilla), International Videofestival (Bochum), Avantgarde Festival (Schiphorst), 25fps (Zagreb), Cinesthesy (Paris) EMAF (Osnabrück), Videomedeja (Novi Sad) and many others.

WRO07, 12th international media art biennale Wroclaw, Poland, May 07 – third prize (best performance)
VAD Festival, Girona, Spain, October 07 - special prize
18th International Videofestival Bochum May08 – special mention

Hi Kera & André, I wanted to thank you for adding me and the kind comment. Reclaim was incredible. That synth was just the best I have ever heard. You two rock! The Energy in Procedure was just incredible. So aggressive and the complexity and speed is beyond anything I am capable of creating. Nonclocaity was really interesting. Like a wall of epic sound. Really nice work. Might stop by tomorrow! Take care and keep in touch. _Jere
... so, nun will ich doch nicht verpassen euch gleich mal zu schreiben! danke für den schönen abend, war wirklich toll! was die planung angeht bleiben wir einfach in kontakt! viel glück in berlin, euch alles gute und weiterhin viel spass! liebe grüße aus halle!
He, Ich hatte gedacht, wir wären schon ewig hier Freunde... Hab ich mich wohl getäuscht. Ich hab gesehn, dass ihr auch auf der Ostrale seid. Hm, leider aber komplett anderer Termin. Ich bin da am letzten Wochende (4.-6. Sept), also wird wohl mal wieder nicht. Und sonst mal sehn, ab mitte September zieh ich nach London, wird also einiges anders...
