IMA_experiments 9

In the ninth edition of the IMA_experiments series, an audio-visual live performance by group A and an eclectic DJ set by Philip Berg awaits the audience.

The Japanese avant-garde synth wave duo group A bewitches the audience with experimental noise, DIY post-punk, outstanding visuals and performance art. Since the foundation of group A in 2012, Tommi Tokyo (synthesizer, vocals, percussion) and Sayaka Botanic (violin, cassette tapes) have appeared alongside Japanoise scene greats such as Acid Mother Temple, Merzbow, Nisennenmondai, Phew and Melt Banana. In the meantime, the two women are touring nomadically between Asia and Europe and also presenting their limited edition debut record, which was published at the end of September last year by Polish label Mecanica, [70+a=].

DJ and connoisseur Philip Berg mixes celestial new age sounds with herbaceous electronica and avant-garde techno. With his series of Tropic Rhonda events, he is an inherent part of Frankfurt’s nightlife, although Hamburg’s Golden Pudel Club and Offenbach’s Club Robert Johnson are also enthusiastic about Philip Berg’s eclectic DJ sets.
