A_R_C_C
Live at Xciting Festival 2021
Since 2014 Arnaud Rivière and c_c are joining forces in the Association de Recherche Contre le Concert (Research Association Against Concert). Around a table full of cheap electronic equipment (feedbacking 4-tracks tape, broken turntable, prepared mixer, unsync drum machines,…) they melt beats and noise and also sometimes noise and beats. They’re bursting sloping dancefloor music and noise sharpened sound system. Improvised on the fly and playfully full of energy, musical propositions of the lopsided duo are a matter of gesture and failures. It’s a matter of fact : we’re writing anything!
Kikiriki
Live at Xciting Festival 2021
Nina F alias Kikiriki is a musical performer since 20 years in different collectives. First as a vocalist and later as a instrumentalist, since 2009 as a solo noise performer. Focusing on experimenting with sound that's produced live, mostly with analogue synthesisers and DIY electronics. She was a part of many different projects, ranging from making music for a dance show, silent animations and films, accompanying poets, making sound scapes for fire shows to live radio shows and sessions. She was sharing stages with many other artists of the sonic field, on many festivals and events all around Slovenia and Europe. Most of the recordings were recorded live in the studio or at the concert. Besides the experimental sound field, she also dj's in the collective Dubomb under the name Madamdub. In her free time she is a passionate concert goer and stage and sound technician at live shows.
Svitlana Nianio
Live at Xciting Festival 2021
Svitlana Nianio is a Ukrainian avant-garde singer-songwriter, during the early 1990s also known as Svitlana Ohrimenko. Svitlana grew up with an interest in religious and traditional music. She attended a music conservatory in Kyiv, where she formed ‘Tsukor bila smert´ in 1988 with Eugene Taran, Oleksandr Kochanovsky, and Tamila Mazur. The group disbanded in 1993. After the end of ‘Tsukor bila smert´ Nianio recorded two albums with Oleksandr Yuchenko. In 1999 she released her first solo album ‘Kytytsi’ on Koka Records. Hard to find performing possibilities after the “Music The World Does Not See” concert series in 2000, lead to her disappearance from the public eye. 10 years later Nianio’s music gained major international interest. Some of her albums were reissued. Since 2017 Svitlana Nianio performs again. On Xciting festival Svitlana Nianio performed supported by the Ukrainian musicians Sergey Khotyachuk and Roman Gens.
