SHAPE Artists' Hour ft. Lanuk

Wednesday 16th November 2016 20:00 - 22:00 GMT

Hungarian musician Árpád Gulyás aka Lanuk started making music when he was 13, cutting his teeth in several noise and experimental punk bands. His Lanuk outfit began as a bedroom project in the middle of the noughties and led to appearances at numerous festivals, clubs, art galleries. Aside from Lanuk, Gulyás also moonlights as a bass player in a band called derTANZ.

Lanuk’s early records (Nerma, Batla) came out on the Hungarian netlabel Pushya, and 2014’s ‘vV’ was released on Prague’s Baba Vanga tape label. His last record ‘d_ork’ was released via the New York-based Immigrant Breast Nest Records in 2015.

The Wire writes: “The sounds have something of a techno orientation, with alternating sequences of bloop, glitch and proggy melodicism. Usually i would say, quoting Patrick Sky, that this is the sort of thing a sane man wipes his ass on, but Lanuk brings a persistent druggy strangeness to the proceedings that overwhelms all objections.”

SHAPE Artists' Hour ft. Ignatz

Monday 8th August 2016 20:00 - 21:00 BST

Tonight's SHAPE Artists's Hour features Ignatz - a singer/songwriter from Belgium. He's prepared a mixtape of his contemporary influences, including Blind Own Wilson and Bridget Hayden, ahead of his appearance at Budapest's experimental music festival UH Fest, which takes place over the week commencing October 2nd.

Ignatz's songs stem from a familiar stripped-back folk framework, with delivery recalling the louche primitivism of V.U or Henry Flynt - but inverted, cast adrift, with their cool touch belying a stymied heat beneath the surface. Where Ignatz's fretwork is adorned, it is executed with a refined coarseness.

Ignatz is a participating artist of the SHAPE platform for innovative music and audiovisual art, co-funded by the "Creative Europe” programme of the European Union.
