About the event
Rising star singer-songwriters Tzara the Machine and Carolina Gemmell are a duo that bring an unearthly glitch sound to life completely acoustically.
Tzara The Machine is the solo project of Amsterdam-based Venezuelan singer-songwriter and producer Francisco Garrido. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Björk, Animal Collective and Bon Iver, Tzara creates a fresh organic sound mixing sampled acoustic instruments and electronic elements. Using his lyrics as a journal for thoughts and feelings he tries to understand: shame, guilt, anger, depression, and self-hatred. His music becoming a safe haven during difficult times—a source of peace in the middle of the storm.
Joined by Carolina Gemmell they adapt the sampled and electronically manipulated nature of Tzara the Machine’s music to only two acoustic guitars. From loud and messy guitars to vulnerable meditative minimalistic soundscapes, this duo takes on many nuances. Working within the Art Pop genre, both artists' backgrounds and strong aesthetics make for an eclectic mix of folk, free Improvisation, and world music. In a formation as stripped back as it gets, their music invites listeners into an experience that is raw, intimate, and immersive.
