- Noise
Transmission is a festival of industrial, noise, electronic,
avantgarde and experimental music, performance and art, inspired by
the tension between chaos and structure, between noise and tone.
- The performances of the 5 piece band
Rabenhirn (Frankfurt) combine experimental
harsh-noise with video installations. Their repertoire includes
repetitive noise collages as well as improvised ambient sound
structures, created with metal debris, electrical appliances and
normal instruments like synthesizers, guitar and bass.
- The minimalistic
electronic project Notstandskomitee (Hamburg)
presents elaborate pieces of a dense, dark atmosphere, witnessing the
world of information superhighways and cyber people. The computer
animated backing video reveals that Notstandskomitee is at the
forefront of digital avantgarde.
- The art of
Mental Obsessions (Stuttgart) emerges from
the abyss of human obsessions. Their music is based on structured
noise and driving rhythm, contrasted by tonal sounds. The lyrics
track down the obsessive and perverse subtext in contemporary media
and society. This concept is represented visually by disquieting
images of intricate beauty.
- Rectal Surgery (Cologne) mix an apocalyptic
cocktail of found noises, radio cuts, feedback, custom built sound
generators, and gabba tekkno beats, backed by surrealistic film
sequences. The spontaneous performance involves the audience as a
medium to create an improvised, unrepeatable sound experience.
NOISE PARTY
- Before, inbetween, and after the bands, DJ Midian (Dragnet
Records) and Somnah Thei will be in the mix with an
innovative agglomeration of industrial records and danceable beats.

underground music magazine and publishing initiative, will sell CDs,
