Brofist

Juan A. Romero and Patrick Borgeat first appeared on stage together in 2006. After experimenting with innovative music interfaces with the laptop band Grainface, and receiving honorary mention at the Prix Ars Electronica with the live coding band »Benoît and the Mandelbrots«, the duo have been collaborating artistically as Brofist since the beginning of 2014. Their objective is to explore the limits of audiovisual live performances. Thanks to their versatile musical background they draw on diverse currents in electronic music, such as Drone, Noise, Glitch and Ambient. With the strong visual aesthetics connected with the music somewhere between Victor Vasarely and raster-noton, an immersive live performance begins to emerge, which represents a challenge both for the retina as well as the eardrum.
