SMALL METAL GODS

A journey of sonic liberation.
Ponderous bass lines, non linear, no rules, punk avantgard percussion, mutated field recordings, damaged voices,
rythm section refusing the standard sustains, nano trance infiltrating soundscapes of unknown matter.
No need to fit under a genre but for the genre needed ones: Alternative, experimental with influences of avantgarde jazz, progresieve rock, jazzrock and punkjazz.

TAGMOSIS is a two-day event which aims for a convergence between different media and artforms; this in a mutual 'silent' interactive way. Nontheless, 'symbiosis' as a prearranged evocation is not an intention. Rather the circumstances and the manner how cross-actions are presented should evoke an inner and personal experience.
A kind of melting together as after-effects on the retina of the beholder, this by undergoing the serial and parallel collisions of everything what happened.

TAGMOSIS is the growing together or fusion between different parts of a body to form a new whole. Every part beholds its function but are fused together to a common form. These can be partial or global and it's particularly common with insects, where for instance the head and torso have become a whole.

The TAGMOSIS in this festival is a virtual one. The audience creates this inner tagmosis because of the way the different artforms are presented, the circumstances of the events and the consequent readjust and switch-over from one expression to the other.

TAGMOSIS is a meeting of peculiar artists and organizations. A continuous flow of showings: dance, theater, performances, experimental concerts and movie screenings.

We could be saying that it is a multi festival where the functions and focal points are constantly changing inside a short timespan.
