The final A/VISIONS showcase of the week is nothing less than a quartet of the most notable figures from the experimental scene, all of whom are working their avant-garde tendencies through hybrid forms to produce riveting panoramas of aural texture. A classic participant from the very first MUTEK in 2000, Finland’s VLADISLAV DELAY returns to the festival stage after a prolonged absence to reignite the open-source echo chambers that have made his ultra-loose take on dub so tangential, deep and hypnotic. Meanwhile, Austria’s CARL MICHAEL VON HAUSSWOLFF uses tape machines and electrical tones to produce a wall of drone accentuated by industrial-sized hammers and swirls. Finally, we welcome back two of MUTEK 2008’s finest performers, Australia’s BEN FROST and Montreal’s TIMHECKER, for showcases that pursue the sleeplessness of ambient drones with a distinctly guitar-oriented visceralism that has made both producers cross-genre favourites with fans of experimental rock and noise music.
