No EFEST without the Acropolium! For one evening, Carthage Cathedral will host three audiovisual performances by emblematic artists from the electronic music scene.

ON THE PROGRAM

Murcof & Simon Geilfus (ANTIVJ) (MEX/FR)

One of the most immersive audiovisual experiences ever. Simon Geilfus of the AntiVJ label, and Mexican composer Murcof, invite you to enter their hypnotic world for an evening.

AntiVJ’s visual universe echoes Murcof’s captivating, atmospheric compositions in an ethereal, spellbinding performance, supported by an impressive video set that creates the illusion of a three-dimensional cosmos.
Between graphic design and computer programming, Simon Geilfus develops his own tools for interactive, generative art in the tradition of John Maeda and Joshua Davis.
Murcof’s minimalist, post-modern compositions borrow from both classical music and the precursors of electronic music such as Tangerine Dream. Murcof’s prestigious collaborations with pianist Francesco Tristano and his three critically acclaimed albums have made him a key figure on the electronic music scene.
Murcof and Simon Geilfus’s audiovisual performances were born of their encounter at the Venn Festival in Bristol, and have since been programmed at prestigious events such as Mutek (Canada) and Futuresonic (UK), each time constituting a unique and unprecedented sound and visual creation.

Robert Lippok (GER)

German avant-garde visual artist and composer Robert Lippok has been a highly influential musician on Berlin’s prolific experimental music scene for many years.
For EFEST, he will present his latest audio-visual composition daytimeastronomy, inspired by Redsuperstructure.

Byetone (GER)

Although he has remained too discreet to become a superstar, Olaf Bender, the German behind Byetone, is none other than the co-founder of the techno label Raster-Noton (with Frank Bretschneider) and responsible for its visual identity. His techno is hard, cold and industrial, close to a minimalism he doesn’t want to see disappear, in total harmony with his stunning geometric visuals.
