Tijdens het Amsterdam Dance Event zoekt The Rest is Noise de randen van dancemuziek op. In KAFR werkt producer Rabih Beaini samen met het Indonesische duo Senyawa, dat keelzang en bamboe-instrumenten mengt met invloeden uit metal, hardcore en avant-garde. ‘Een onvergetelijke ervaring’, volgens The Wire. Producer Ash Koosha bouwt meeslepende constructies met abstracte elektronische klanken.
KAFR
KAFR is het nieuwe verbond tussen de Libanese, in Berlijn gevestigde dj/producer Rabih Beaini (Morphosis) en het Indonesische duo Senyawa. Blikvanger in Senyawa is Rully Shawara, die shockeert en tegelijk ontroert met doordringende keelzang ontleend aan zowel traditionele als Westerse stromingen, van hardcore tot stemkunst. Zijn partner-in-crime is Wukir Suryadi op bambuwakir. Met dit zelfgebouwde, versterkte instrument van bamboe en metaal kan hij zowel subtiel snarenspel als helse percussie loslaten.
Ash Koosha
Ash Koosha ontvluchtte zijn geboortestad Teheran en viert nu succes vanuit Londen met caleidoscopische elektronische (dans-)muziek. De jonge componist/producer is gefascineerd door de fysieke kant van geluid, die hij in zijn liveoptredens benadrukt met intrigerende, zelfgemaakte videoprojecties.
'The sincerity of the duo’s performance and the creative links with the natural forces around them, as instrument makers and sound scientists, result in an unforgettable experience' (The Wire over Senyawa).
'Ash Koosha rips his way through all notions of genre, identity and idiom; an exploration of music traditions twisted inside out through technology' (The Quietus).
Voor, tussen en na de concerten draait DJ Clamdown zijn favoriete muziek.

KAFR
KAFR is a new collaboration with DJ/producer Rabih Beaini (Morphosis), originally from Lebanon but nowadays located in Berlin, and the Indonesian duo Senyawa. Senyawa’s eye-catcher is Rully Shawara, who shocks and affects with penetrating vocal techniques borrowed from both Indonesian as well as Western traditions ranging from hardcore up to vocal art. His partner-in-crime is Wukir Suryadi who plays the bambuwakir. With this self-made, amplified instrument made out of bamboo and metal, Suryadi can play subtle string music as well as furious percussion.
Ash Koosha
Ash Koosha fled his hometown Teheran and now celebrates his success in London with kaleidoscopic electronic (dance) music. The young composer/producer is fascinated by the physical aspect of sound. This he emphasises in his live performances with intriguing, self-made video projections.
“The sincerity of the duo’s performance and the creative links with the natural forces around them, as instrument makers and sound scientists, result in an unforgettable experience” (The Wire about Senyawa).
