L.E.V. Festival (Laboratorio de Electrónica Visual) night activities on Saturday 29 at Nave de LABoral Centro de Arte will start with a live show by two-piece Enxin/Onyx, formed by Tot Onyx (Tommi Tokyo, previously in Group A) and Hiro Kone (Nicky Mao). Unsettling and constantly changing, halfway between discordance and harmony, this new collaboration and their first EP Dorothy contain a constant interaction between elements of each artist's individual practices, generating a sonic experience which knows no bounds.
The night will go on with Kai Whiston, whose long awaited latest album, Quiet As Kept, F.O.G. was released last September. Kai was born in the heart of late nineties dance music. Her parents were young ravers from the New Age Travellers community. Her new work is an overwhelmingly ambitious and ravishingly beautiful symphony, where the artist explores these memories in a realistic way, and how this community made an impact on her life, part celebration, part critique, mixing reality and fantasy.
Acclaimed producer Throwing Snow, aka Ross Tones, will showcase his fourth album Dragons AV, a work halfway between science and ancient wisdom, between prehistoric rites and the complexities of the contemporary world. The ten tracks in this album combine solid electronic beats with the physicality of countless acoustic instruments, accompanied by a neural network of visual elements created with the artist and technologist Matt Woodham.
After playing in 2021's L.E.V. Madrid, Zoë Mc Pherson and Alessandra Leone come to Gijón with Pitch Blender live AV, a new audiovisual show around Zoë's recently released eponymous album. A strong setlist full of cybernetic experiments for the dancefloor, like a rave in an art space, released through her own SFX label, also co-directed with Alessandra Leone.
The night will be closed by the legendary Italian project Ninos du Brasil, playing a daring and unlikely blend of noise, batucada, samba and electronica. Anyone who has attended one of their live shows, either in a Belgian punk squat or at the famous Venice Biennale of Architecture, says it is an otherworldly experience. A condensed yet intense set which brings together techno, old-school hardcore, the spirit of stadium chants and carnival parades.
