Press release:

The Audio Foundation is proud to present a collaboration of two internationally renowned experimental electronic artists – Marseille based multi-discipinary artist eRikm and Australian composer/improviser Anthony Pateras.

From his early experience as a guitarist through to his later visual work, eRikm is a maverick genre- bender who breaks down anyone’s attempts to conveniently classify him. Under his fingers, vinyls or CDs transform into howling, groaning, crackling and screeching beasts that occasionally reveal fragments of human voices and noises of the world we inhabit. His work references both the intimate and political, both popular and high culture, collaborating with artists such as Luc Ferrari, Christian Marclay, Mathilde Monnier, Jérôme Noetinger and FM Einheit. He is also highly active in the fields of visual and sound art.

Anthony Pateras is famous for his “multiphrenic” music personality. One day he can terrorise listeners’ ears playing in a hardcore trio with Mike Patton, the next he can lead the electroacoustic formation Thymolphthalein, and the day after that his compositions are performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra or the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

ERikm and Anthony Pateras will perform in duo and solo on their NZ tour, and will be joined by a selection of local experimental musicians.
