Karpov not Kasparov

KARPOV NOT KASPAROV

Local heroes in their native Bucharest, but also quite active musical tourists, Karpov not Kasparov have been carrying their instruments throughout Europe during the past four years. Playing their very energetic live set in alternative venues from Berlin, Milano, Vienna, Florence, Hamburg, Basel, Torino, Brussels, Dusseldorf, Prague, Warsaw, Lille, Budapest etc.

The duo began making music based on the rules and strategies of chess. It might seem complicated but the output is always a very danceable tune, sometimes with jazzy flavours, sometimes inspired by Oriental Folklore (because chess is an Oriental game), but always mixed with powerful 80's dance floor sounds. And wait! There's more to it than just the music. You might also see ballet dancers or maybe some sort of theatrical performance, sometimes chess games played by the audience and other times the musicians play a live score for obscure silent films.

PRACE

Prace combineert het beste van verschillende muziekculturen om de schoonheid van de wereld samen te brengen in een eigen gecreĆ«erde stijl die hij Dubnova noemt. Latijnse ritmes met een dub-stijl baseline en elektronische sounds gecombineerd met organische elementen.
