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.
