Lo-Fi-Sci-Fi Silent Film Night

Evelinn Trouble (Voice, Guitar, Synthesizer)
A comet plunges earthwards, share prices plummet. Ruthless opportunism faces social responsibility and class war meets science fiction with a strong apocalyptic flavour.
Acrid synthesizer tracks tackle brutal bass lines above stumbling beats; frosty ballads follow danceable electro-rock anthems; and from it all rises Miss Trouble’s unmistakeable voice to sing of the vicissitudes of human existence.
Marco Nicolas Heinzen aka manic zen (Live Electronics, Guitar), Mike Malloth (Drums)
In film history’s first full length space film, an international expedition travels to Mars in the airship Excelsior and finds itself in a technically and morally advanced civilisation.
With their groovy sound, Manic Zen and Mike Malloth launch the sky ship and lure the audience into a world of pious white robes, golden haired virgins and sacrificial fires, where love, purity and peace reign supreme.
David Schnee (Viola), Jonas Labhart (Composition, Saxophone), Michel Barengo (Drums & Toys)
The respectable Dr. Jekyll creates a substance in his laboratory that distils the evil in man and allows him to transform into stocky and evil Mr. Hyde. But soon he loses control over his alter ego...
They say the only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. The Schneebeli/Labhart/Barengo trio gives into the lure with their harrowing and brilliant rendering of the protagonist’s tragic inner turmoil.
Bit-Tuner (Electronics)
In the glittering city of the future the rich pursue their pleasures in the leisure gardens of the upper city while the workers are confined to a life of misery in the underground town. But one day, Maria leads the ruler’s son into the depths, where trouble is brewing…
Like no other Bit-Tuner knows how to translate the upward yearning of the working classes into music. A dark atmosphere of heavy beats, thumping bass lines and crackling background noises – visit Metropolis in the age of dubstep!
