LYDIA LUNCH has for the past 3 decades forged a unique body of work that bares testimony to a creative
schizophrenia which encompasses film, poetry, the spoken & written word, music and photography. She was
voted by TIME OUT NEW YORK as one of the most influential performers originating from NYC and has worked
with dozens of musical renegades including Sonic Youth, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Nick Cave and Einstürzende
Neubauten.
LYDIA continues to tour the world appearing at literature, poetry and music festivals. Her live
performances incorporate photography, video and music inviting listeners to dissolve into a filmic universe of
primal urge and emotional release. LYDIA recently joined forces with PHILIPPE PETIT to create the hauntingly
beautiful song cycle TWIST OF FATE. A musical journey which marries dark experimental soundscapes to an
intoxicating voice ripe with intrigue and innuendo.
PHILIPPE PETIT uses turntables and laptops to build up electronic layers and take advantage of vinyl material to
fondle released sounds. A journalist for various magazines and radio as well as a musical activist, PETIT now
celebrates his 25th year of sharing his musical passions. He is a composer, sound reconstructionist and an
active member of STRINGS OF CONSCIOUSNESS who have worked with notable luminaries such as JG Thirlwell,
Barry Adamson, Eugene Robinson and Cosey Fanni Tutti.
PETIT has done numerous solo performances around
the world as Dj/ip@bip-hop.com, manipulating sounds to create other worldly atmospheres which envelop the
listeners into a rich noir of psycho-ambience. His latest project TWIST OF FATE is a collaboration with LYDIA
LUNCH, a provocative journey into the dark groove of endless night where possibility, mystery and mania entwine
the listener into a deep cocoon of sound and voice.
