/Optic Veil uses analog and digital video hardware to create dreamy-like patterns and shapes that morph as they follow the sound. Inspired by the cinematography of Andrei Tarkovsky and Ingmar Bergman, she is especially interested in creating illusions of visual perception and time distortion. http://opticveil.com/
/Christian Kleine was born in Lindau, a small and beautiful island in the Lake of Constance in South Germany, surrounded by the Alps. Growing up in such pristine surroundings, he began to study classical trumpet at the age of 10, before incorporating electric bass and eventually drums and guitar. In 1995, having moved to Berlin, he began to produce as a solo artist. Two years later, a promotional encounter with Thaddeus Herrmann birthed the Hermann & Kleine project. Together, the duo recorded two EPs and one album, Our Noise. His solo debut album, Beyond Repair, was released in 2001, followed by an EP, Valis, on Morr Music. Christian further collaborated with Arovane, co-producing the latter’s album Tides, and collaborating on a split 7” release. In addition to solo and collaborative work, Christian has remixed a number of diverse artists, including Bomb The Bass and Múm. Christian Kleine also graced respected festivals such as Big Chill or Benicàssim and playing as far afield as Japan, USA, Canada, Denmark, UK, France, Italy…. http://www.christiankleine.com/ck/home.html
