Spectaculare: MATHIAS GRASSOW /DE/ + AROVANE /DE/ + live visuals Jan Hladil /CZ/

Two world-renowned ambient and IDM artists, Mathias Grassow and Arovane, will close the main musical portion of the 10th Festival Spectaculare with a concert at CAMP. Suggestive large-scale visualizations from Jan Hladil will complement the show. Music mystic and drone music classic Mathias Grassow started out playing guitar and drums in rock bands, but in the 80s, he discovered synthesizers. He focuses on sustained tones, which, according to him, have the potential to change our perception of the world, and he refers to them as "cosmic downloads". Berlin-based musician Uwe Zahn, who releases music under the moniker Arovane, is a staple of Intelligent Dance Music (IDM). In childhood, he played the clarinet, and later as a teenager, he deconstructed hip-hop beats on record players before fully devoting himself to electronic music in the late 80s. Jan Hladil is one of the Czech multimedia scene's most prominent contemporary visual artists. As a member of the audiovisual label Lunchmeat, he has provided live works for names such as DJ Shadow, Diplo, Murcof, and Actress.
