For lovers of dance-floor pop culture and 8-bit-fuelled music lovers, two dj sets will be on offer at the Palais Abdellia:
DJ STORNO
DJ Storno a.k.a Thorsten Wiedemann has been roaming the world of pixels since 2006. His legendary « Storno 8bit sessions » have attracted the best Chiptune artists to Berlin. He is also the founder and director of the A MAZE Berlin and A MAZE Johannesburg festivals, which showcase independent gaming and virtual reality. He strives to bridge the gap between gaming, art and technology.
JANKENPOPP
A true showman, D.I.Y. master, producer and visual artist, Jankenpopp is all of these simultaneously.
This one-man band explodes onto the stage, unfurling an audiovisual rainbow as he goes. His multimedia performances feature custom controllers and sensors to manipulate sound and image.
Although he expresses himself through a multitude of disciplines (electronic music, performance, multimedia lutherie, visual arts, code), it is through the multimedia live album « Jankenpopp » that he brilliantly combines his futuristic approach to improvised performance, his arsenal of interactive D.I.Y. instruments and his iconoclastic sense of audiovisual composition.
An unclassifiable figure in today’s electronic landscape, Jankenpopp is a musician with his hands plunged into the future.
