FRIDAY 3 MARCH 20:00
Closing of REYNOLS “The 30th Anniversary Exhibition”
Film screening: "ACID MOTHERS REYNOLS. LIVE AND BEYOND"
Dir. Alejandro Maly , Argentina, 2020, 84 min
Featuring: Makoto Kawabata,Miguel Tomasín, Tabata Mitsuru, Roberto Conlazo, Anla Courtis, Higashi Hiroshi, etc.
A documentary about the unique meeting two internationally recognized bands in the field of experimental music, drone, psychedelic, avant-garde: Argentine cult provocateurs Reynols and Japanese wizards Acid Mothers Temple.
In November 2017, Acid Mothers Temple, began their first tour of Latin America. While in Buenos Aires, they invited Reynols to join them onstage. This documentary is a profile of their extraordinary live show and the combined studio recordings that followed.
The film captures the highlights of the sessions in which the bands play live, in a visual language that corresponds to the mind-expanding moments of the music. We are also exposed to the musicians during the creation process in the studio, and we can realize how their language and cultural barriers are overcome.
The director’s trippy colorful visual language serves to complement the band’s music. Between the tracks, band members reflect on their work and on spirituality as an essential basis for the development of their music.

SECLUDED BRONTE (uk) + Melodica Duets by G. MARCINIAK (pl) & T. LEBAR (sl)
SECLUDED BRONTE are Adam Bohman, Jonathan Bohman and Richard Thomas.
Formed in London and launched in New York City, the Anglo-Welsh trio have been together for 21 years. Since that time in 2002, they have continued to plough an idiosyncratic furrow into the heart of what one might call art-music. It’s quite hard to classify the group, but they have been likened to This Heat, Wire, The Specials, The Residents, The Fall, John Cage and Sun Ra.

Since 2020 they have released four on the Ffordd Allan label, an album on Takuroku, a 7” EP on Felix Kubin’s Apolkalypso label and contributed to several compilation albums.
As a solo artist Richard Thomas has released two albums since 2022, The House Rabbit of Jesus Green and The Painted Orchid. And the third volume of Adam Bohman’s Music and Words has just been released by Paradigm Discs. Forthcoming is a remix of a Jerome Noetinger album for Apopakalyso/Gargarin Records, a radiophonic work for Dutch radio, Zond 5 and a new Secluded Bronte EP and album are also imminent in 2023.
“Metronomic electrical pulses are made beautiful by multiple layering into complex rhythms with melodic pitch changes, avccompanied by spoken words as if walking through a hall of mirrors or a scene from Alain Resnais’s Last Year in Marienbad”. - Jo Hutton, The Wire Magazine December 2022
“Secluded Bronte at Supernormal was my favourite show of the festival”. - Jennifer Lucy-Allan, The Quietus, October 2022.

MELODICA DUETS is a journey into the sound world of melodica and a search for its idiomatic tone. Formally, the music is designed as a set of solos to be performed asynchronously by two players. These duets can also be performed solo, with pre-recorded accompaniment. Both manners of performance of Melodica Duets embraces a key characteristic of the melodica: its unstable and day-to-day fluctuation in tuning.
Composer and performer GRZEGORZ MARCINIAK (1981) was born in Szczecin, Poland, now lives and works in The Hague, The Netherlands. He graduated from the Royal Conservatory in The Hague at the faculty of composition, studied karnatic music at the Conservatory in Amsterdam and bassoon at the Music Academy in Poznań. His compositions, installations and songs were presented in The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, the United States and Canada. He is the founder of Omega Impact, a band with Hélène Duret, Jordi Cassagne and Théo Lanau.
Slovenian composer, improviser and saxophonist TILEN LEBAR (1993) lives and works in The Hague, the Netherlands. His sound world reveals a great knowledge of individual instrumental extended techniques as well as contemplated colours, detailed structures in sound tinctures and a thorough knowledge of the tradition of contemporary Western art music and various experimental fields. His scores are published by the Society Of Slovene Composers (DSS) and Donemus – Publishing House Of Contemporary Classical Music.
