Sissel Wincent’s live sets are more subtle and warped. Machines squeal, squeak, and hiss in the most naturally uncanny ways, conveying passion and emotion, and purveying an uneasy, yet inviting atmosphere from start to finish.

Tarta Relena perform with a neat blend of technologies both modern and ancient. The two musicians flesh out different vocal techniques (flamenco, lyrical, traditional, jazz) with percussive patterns on a ceramic amphora outfitted with a contact mic. Every breath counts and every note is precisely deployed; the duo’s vast exploration of the possibilities of the voice supported by a fine-spun mesh of electronic touches.
