Etceteral is a fresh domestic audio-visual trio, a new project of saxophonist Boštjan Simon, drummer Marek Fakuč and visual artist Lina Rica. They explore the dimensions of repetitive polyrhythmic music and digital imagery. The play of sequences and patterns is complemented by improvisational excursions through the black holes of science fiction. The DSI Evolver sound synthesizer responds without delay and simultaneously to both the pitch of Simon’s saxophone and Fakuč’s beat on the bass drum. In this way, it appears as interference or the third element that arises from the musical dialogue. Lina Rica provides a synesthetic experience with her real-time animations. They draw inspiration from krautrock and afrofuturism. With the symbiosis of synthesizer, acoustic instruments and animation, they create an audio-visual hologram that will delight us on Friday night of the festival, exactly three weeks after the release of their debut "Alma-gi". With a strong electro-acoustic stance, they create a package of hypnotic afrofuturistic and dance elements, from improvisational to tangibly melodic parts on a musical-visual journey.
