Congee Rats’ Clinic is a surprising audio-visual performance with fresh music: an eight-track diagnosis of a world that feels increasingly unwell. Spanning darkwave, hyperpop, cinematic soundscapes, and experimental electronics, the album frames illnesses as a metaphor for social fractures, toxic systems, and sick mental states. Yet the album reveals these problems without surrendering to despair: it stays humorous, energetic, and rebellious, confronting brutality with sharp irony, restless momentum, and defiant vitality. The release concert will feature tracks from this album and present them with multimedia elements.

Ach Kuhzunft

Since his childhood, Ach Kuhzunft is equally influenced by music and art. His studies at the fine arts school got him closer to music, while he felt connected to art, when he started to work as a musician. Therefore his works often seek the intersection of both and lead to performances, concerts or installations. Beyond that he curates experimental concerts, designs covers for records, does pottery, occasionally produces animated short films and hosts his own radio show.

He has his own radio show at the Dortmund University since 2005, has released a DVD with animated music-videos and joined the large band/collective "The Dorf" the same year with percussion and electronics. He curates the experimental concert series "mex" at Künstlerhaus Dortmund since 2015, at which he also has his own artist's workshop since 2021. Besides releases of vinyls, tapes and cds with in many settings, as well as a floppy disc with his daughter, there were exhibitions and numerous cover artworks, to name just a few of his manifold activities.
