Thursday July 19 at Wax

Monolake - Live [Imbalance Computer Music - Berlin]
Alan Carbery [EC FM]
Giles Armstrong [Electric City]

Admission : e12 / e10 with flyer / members

We are very excited to welcome the Irish debut of one of the most important techo artists, Monolake at Electric City this Thursday. Monolake is an open project dedicated to computer generated music, founded in 1995 by Robert Henke and Gerhard Behles. Being impressed and influenced by minimal techno music and drum & bass and at the same discovering the sonic richness and sophistication of academic computer music, these poles became the source and inspiration for their creations. Releases followed on Chain Reaction, DIN and mostly on their own Monolake / Imbalance label. Significant releases include the debut album Hongkong, the ambient epos Gobi, the dark and driving album Gravity and the most recent vinyl releases such as Plumbicon, Alaska, and his remix of Surgeon all showing a development into more and more reduced and rhythmical structures while still keeping the complexity and deepness of the earlier works. Robert Henke also releases drone/ambient works under his real name and is massively involved in the creation of the music software Ableton Live. This will be a rare chance to catch one of the most elusive and influential artists in techno play live. Support on the night comes from EC FM stalwart and longtime Monolake supporter, Alan Carbery, and Corkagh Park lake supporter [here ducky, ducky] & EC resident, Giles Armstrong.
