Kees Tazelaar, Director of the Institute of Sonology The Hague leads a multi-part lecture, sound diffusion, and performance programme on Electronic Music Pioneers in the Netherlands at HAU1, while the night programme at HAU2 is dedicated to minimalist composer Phill Niblock, in an evening that includes microtonal brass ensemble Zinc&Copper Works, Eli Keszler, and Valerio Tricoli.

At the core of Wednesday's Un Hitch programme at Berghain lies the explosive world premiere of the Moritz von Oswald Trio featuring Afrobeat legend Tony Allen, referred to as the inventor of Afrobeat, for many years the drummer and musical director for Fela Kuti’s band and described by Brian Eno as “perhaps the greatest drummer who ever lived”. 

The Editions Mego III programme brings together a mighty range of experimental artists from featured label Editions Mego’s musical dynasty. The talents of COH (Ivan Pavlov), of the raster-noton collective and Cyclobe, join with Tina Frank, the graphic artist who defined the Mego aesthetic. The night also presents metal/noise supergroup Stephen O'Malley of Sunn O))) and Editions Mego founder Peter Rehberg as KTL, the cerebral sonic assemblages  of Chris Madak, relentlessly forward-thinking multidisciplinary artist Russell Haswell, and pioneer of glitch music Yasunao Tone.

Today's daytime programme begins at 13:00 with a discussion with Generation Z curator Andrey Smirnov, followed by an Electro Moskva film screening at 14h. The CTM Radio lab continues at West Germany and Where is Jesus?

Co-founded by former members of influential esoteric musick group Coil, Stephen Thrower and Ossian Brown traverse a unique landscape in contemporary hallucinatory music as Cyclobe. Despite having played together for over a decade, the groupʼs live performances number only three to date. At CTM, they are joined by Michael J. York (duduk/pipes), Cliff Stapleton (hurdy-gurdy), Ivan Pavlov (electronics), and David J. Smith (percussion), and accompanied by projections created by a number of acclaimed visual artists. Lichens opens.

We regret to inform you that, due to illness, Mika Vainio is unable to perform at the "Sounds Like Kurenniemi" evening at HAU2 on Friday 31.1.2014. Due to the nature of the project, Vainio will not be replaced. All other musicians are confirmed and the programme will continue in its exploration of Kurenniemi's fascinating work, as scheduled.

The last of a 5-part exploration on Editions Mego takes place tonight at HAU1, with ex-Emeralds man John Elliot's Outer Space, and Innode, who present their new Gridshifter album.

"Walk that Sound" and "P-node" collect a final day's worth of input from the public before their Closing performance tomorrow. Join in at West Germany or Where is Jesus? today!
