Two abstract urban meditations composed by French visual artist Jérôme Schlomoff.
Both filmed with a pinhole movie 35mm camera, these two films create mysterious and eerie portraits of the two cities, a ghostly New York City under a snowstorm and a poetical exploration of Amsterdam as a city suspended between past, present and future, in a visual voyage filmed at some of the city’s building sites.
Both films are going to be presented with a live soundtrack performed by experimental hip-hop producer Smooth One and bass player Mouard Baali.
Smooth One biographical notes:
Smooth One comes from the abstract hip-hop scene. He wrote with Dj cam the two first album in 1996 and 1998, Underground Vibes and Substance.

"Like the man who awoke to find himself drowning in a river, you may
roam the dark with 4 million other somnambulists - and never know it.
One soldier, after one of these attacks, he revealed that he had been
dreaming about trying to plow a field with a balky mule. ‘That mule
made me so darn mad I socked it,' he said. When he awoke, he found that
he had hit his wife in the face and broken her eardrum. His lawyer
successfully defended him by arguing that no one could be held
accountable for acts committed in his sleep. Why doesn’t he, like the
rest of us, lie quietly and work out the worries of his subconscious in
dreams of action, instead of acting out his dreams?"

Three Trapped Tigers lieten al van zich horen op de laatste editie van Festival de Affaire. De mannen betroverden maar komen uiteraard nog beter uit de verf in een intieme club-setting. Electronica, prog- en mathrock uit het straatje van Battles. Modder is het laatste project van klankkunstenaars Tom Verbruggen en Bardt van der Dennen. Het duo speelt sferische, ritmische door drum en bas gedragen stukken met een duidelijke rol voor het o zo fijne geluid van een Korg synth. DJ Marcelle van Hoof krijgt werkelijk elke dansvloer aan het zweten. Moeiteloos laverend tussen snoeiharde breaks, afrikaanse originals en die verslavende subbass maakt ze zonder consessies van elke ‘hater’ een ‘lover’. En Jorg zal ook een bak met platen meenemen. za 7 nov | Open: 22:00 | Start: 22:00 www.lomechanik.com
