Kontravoid - Maria - Electro-wave night
KONTRAVOID (Can. - ex Crytal Castles drummer)
Dark synth with an EBM touch
The name Kontravoid belongs on a limited run cassette circa 1980-something, the type of tape buried in lost upstate dustbins of pre-MIDI analog electronics, wedged between Cabaret Voltaire and Das Ding. The dark industrial and new wave influences are strong on ex-Crystal Castles drummer Cam Findlay's new project-his voice is scary, like an echoing underwater growl-but the underlying pop melodies always afford a degree of breathing room.
After departing as writer/producer for Toronto band Parallels, Findlay has settled into a music venture he can call his own, assuming the identity of this masked alter-ego for what appears to be a permanent ride.
On his debut self-titled album, Kontravoid turns to analogue synths to create a dark, brooding pop masterpiece. His brilliant vocals emit a dystopic low-grown, often running through warped effects accompanied by exceptionally stirring arpeggiated synths and washes of sound. Modern touchstones could parallel the likes of John Maus or Trust, but Kontravoid's vision is a much more twisted one, embracing goth influences and yielding a monstrous result that is harder to define. Despite its sonic vampiricism, Kontravoid's music leaves plenty to dance and lose your mind to, but the imagination here goes way beyond these activities exclusively.

MARIA (Bxl)
Angry synthwave one-man performance
Maria est le projet solo quelque peu mystérieux et exclusivement live de Pierre Pauly, la moitié de Parade Ground, groupe pionnier des années 80 qui rencontra un certain succès sur la scène new wave underground et collabora avec Front 242 notamment. Vu il y a peu sur une scène bruxelloise...un show intense, une présence scénique puissante, des références en forme de clins d'oeil...à ne pas manquer!
MARIA is the live only project from Parade Ground's P.Pauly .
What is achieved here is the musical correspondance with action painting or automatic writing ; action music or automatic music ...
It's only aim : KILL ME
