Festival

For 2019 we celebrate the tenth edition of Shiny Toys Festival for Time Based Experiments.
Vinyl -terror & -horror
The Sound of Camilla Sørensen and Greta Christensen is strongly influenced by turntable deconstruction and rearrangement of the vinyl media. That results in cinematic soundscapes as well a hi-fi disasters.

Andreas Oskar Hirsch
Andreas O. Hirsch plays the electroacoustic Carbophone he invented. Straightly rhythm driven tracks are followed by ambient oddities like the promenade of an octopus or a probably senile shipwrecked robot that emerges from a castle moat and starts speaking to you with a haunting voice.

Transport
Still they exist, unknown pathways in the territory of so-called Krautrock. Transport dedicate themselves to the exploration of those pathways. As a trio, Edis Ludwig, Nils Herzogenrath and Niclas Wandt create a monster of improvisation, emitting hypnotic beats and psychedelic electronica.

Elisa Kühnl
In her voice improvisations Elias Kühnl is whispering, singing and screaming. She investigates the specific in the common and the unfamiliar in the familiar. Her wordless fragments are of an intimate and beautiful urgency.

Bob Rutman
For more than 50 years the artist, musician and composer Bob Rutman has been touring the underground with his enormous Steel Cello. He collaborated with Peter Sellars, Philip Lamanita, Wim Wenders, Neubauten and many more. However, more impressive than his vita is his spherical, roaring but minimal sound.

The six members are using self-made wind instruments, cymbals and percussion, double bass, guitar, viola, found objects, miniature electronics as well as voices.
