NQ
NQ is Nils Quak – an artist, writer and journalist living and working
in cologne. Since 2002 he is releasing laptop-music for labels like
progressive form, kitty yo and several netlabels. By bringing together
his own abstract interpretation of Hip Hop, the
Clicks'n'Cuts-aesthetic and experimental music between noise and
ambient, he has been releasing tracks that not only combine complex
rhythms, processed fieldrecordings and subtle soundfragments, but
also show a deep buried warmth, that makes his tracks more than just a
study in sound-design.
He is also part of STFU-network, that is organizing festivals all over
europe since 2005.

Pandatone will be providing live visuals for this portion of the evening.

Always Tokyo

Using cellos, guitars, broken toys and laptops, Always Tokyo stitches
together a patchwork quilt of various folk traditions, pop rock,
experimental electronics, and 21st century concert music. This
performance at Monkeytown will mark the official premiere of the new
project.

He Can Jog

Erik Schoster spent his formative years playing the trombone and
photocopying marxist zines in Madison Wisconsin. He recently moved to
Brooklyn where he plays the laptop as He Can Jog, records
long distance with Milwaukee band Cedar AV, and collaborates with
guitarist Bryan Teoh. His second full length record entitled
"Middlemarch" is out now on Audiobulb Records.

He'll be joined by Bryan Teoh, Brandon Mazur, and John Sutton to
perform a piece written for this event and this ensemble.
