Platzhirsch präsentiert: BUÑUEL (IT/US) & Nina Garcia (FR) im Stapeltor

In the organizer's words:

BUÑUEL are a noise rock band from Italy and the USA with singer Eugene S. Robinson (ex-Oxbow). Their new album mixes post-hardcore and industrial, but also thrash metal and free jazz. Robinson and his band members at Buñuel have the right people at the start for this: Xabier Iriondo plays guitar (with Afterhours, among others), Andrea Lambardini plays bass and Franz Valente from the alt-rock band Il Teatro Degli Orrori is at the start as drummer.

Since 2015, Nina Garcia (formerly Mariachi) has been researching and creating around the electric guitar, halfway between improvised music and noise. Her instruments are reduced to a minimum: a guitar, a pedal, an amplifier, with which she shapes sounds and immerses herself in chaos to bring out the unheard. In her solo projects, the emphasis is on the gesture and exploration of the instrument, its resonances, its limits, its extensions, its impurities, its audible niches: going with it or against it, containing it or making it sound, supporting it or violating it. There is feedback, crackling, short-circuits, jolts, overtones, squeaks and, by chance, almost perfect tones and chords.
