Hörbar: B°TONG / Gudinni Cortina Doors 19:00 Concerts 20:00 B°TONG Chris Sigdell is an experimental electronic musician. He developed a soft spot for early industrial textures and pioneering ambient soundscapes while cutting his teeth in industrial collective NID (1995-2005). He builds an interesting body of work that moves in various directions at the same time. From dealings with ambient and isolationism on one hand and experimental music, ranging from the soft micro-sound end to the more engaging noise end, in a clever combination of ideas... Founded in 2005 B°TONG tours all over the world and has appeared at festivals like Audio Art Festival, Les Digitales, Fab_In, Lab30, Norberg Festivalen, Temple Of Silence, and Wroclaw Industrial Festival, playing alongside diverse acts such as Bohren und der Club of Gore, Frontline Assembly, Jozef Van Wissem, Puce Mary, Robert Rich, Thomas Köner, Zbigniew Karkowski etc. Chris releases on experimental labels like Oxidation (USA), Drone Records (D), Zoharum (PL), Force Majeure (F), and Reverse Alignment (S). He also composed the music for the contemporary circus performance pieces „Vertikal“ and “Upside Inside” by Finn Jagd Andersen, and can briefly be seen in the Swiss Television series „Der Bestatter“ as guitarist in a band. B°TONG uses found gadgets and metal objects together with various effect-pedals to create his soundscapes live with no back-up.
