Janek Schaefer^UK

Using his custom built two-armed Twin Turntable to manipulate specially-cut vinyl, Janek Schaefer's improvised concerts are evocatively woven soundscapes that combine abstract electroacoustic source material with long forgotten 7' alterations. What might appear to be no more than a fun gadget is actually the source of a complex body of sound research that inspired Schaefer to construct unusual systems of diffusion and produce records that push the limits of vinyl's uses. Experience an evolving dense stream of macrosonic textures, pulses and frequencies that conjure up images of an architectonic landscape passing through Ballard's Drowned World.
