Lonker See

Lonker See

Lonker See is a project that was generated as an ambient duo of Joanna Kucharska and Bartosz Boro Borowski (1926, Kiev Office). After the recording of the first EP, the band decided to invite two jazz musicians – Tomasz Gadecki and Michał Gos, to change the music formula, exploring a wider spectrum of genres. In Lonker See you can hear among other: jazz, space rock, psychodelic rock. Their music is full of space, based on long forms and has a lot of room for improvisation. The band is promoting now their third album  „One Eye Sees Red”.

„An immersive journey from start to finish (…)“ – THE QUIETUS

„(…) the four-piece deliver psychedelia so utterly intense that it feels as if the universe is about to collapse.“ – THE QUIETUS

“Lonker See arrive on the Main Stage at what is undoubtedly the hottest point of the festival, with temperatures at some uncomfortably high levels, and deliver one of the standout performances of the weekend. Such is the charisma of epic pieces like opener ‘Lillian Gish’ that the crowd braves the sweltering heat to be handsomely rewarded with a slow-burning and hypnotic set.” – THE QUIETUS

Mononoke

Mononoke is a Berlin based duo. Founded in 2015, Benjamin Geyer (Keys) and Fabian Rösch (Drums) are playing flourishing, one-set electronic music. The debut album „The Foreign Loomers“ captures some of their strongest musical and sound ideas that are formed into a virtuously flourishing and forward moving piece of art.

During the last two years, Mononoke continuously refined their sounds, set up and concept. The two jazz musicians gained experiences while playing in different bands and touring throughout Europe to now be well prepared and join forces for their upcoming journey. In summer 2018 they started recording and created the unique and complex sound of „The Foreign Loomers“. Mononoke’s song dynamic and progressive development is reminiscent of Floating Points, Flying Lotus and the dirt of Gaslamp Killer. The duo also got very inspired by the interplay and live character of Taylor McFerrin / Marcus Gilmore duo and the modern virtuosity of BADBADNOTGOOD.
