JRPJEJ
JRPJEJ is a post-traditional Circassian music group from Nalchik, North Caucasus. It's not a band, but rather a musical community with an impermanent line-up. Jrpjej perform traditional music and try to find their own way to sound in the limits of canon. With the use of solely traditional acoustic instruments (shichepshin, apapshin, percussion, accordion) they create a dense and deep sound more typical of metal or experimental electronic.
Since 2021 Jrpjej have been actively performing in Europe at festivals and venues such as Unsound (Poland), Le Guess Who?, Worm and OCCI (Netherlands). In addition to 5 albums on Ored Recordings, the band has recorded collaborations with English electro-post-trad-folk duo Stick In The Wheel, American-Georgian electronic musician and ethnographer Ben Wheeler and worked with French documentary filmmaker Vincent Moon. For the European tour 2024 Jrpjej have put together a new program and a new line-up of Circassians living in Nalchik, Ankara and Düsseldorf. In addition, French improvisational violinist Frederic Jouhannet became a member of Jrpjej.
SOL
SOL is a drone project started by artist and multi-instrumentalist Emil Brahe in 2004. Thick and sick sounds weave a distinct knitting of a weird and wonderful universe that oscillate between doomy metal and new age avantgarde.
The debut album "Let There Be A Massacre" (Ván Records, 2007) received widespread acclaim for its originality and fresh take on the doom/death genres. Following the debut, SOL has since released no less than 16 albums on various international labels (e.g. Cold Spring (UK), Avantgarde Metal (IT), Weird Truth (JP), Archaic Sound (UA)). The latest album, "Promethean Sessions", was released on I, Voidhanger Records in 2023 and revealed a new path for SOL with its monolithic approach to acoustic drone and transcendental doom. SOL's music is an exploration of dense atmospheres through improvisation and prolonged doom/drone soundscapes.
This concert will mark the 20 years anniversary of SOL and will be performed by: Emil Brahe: Organ, Synth, Mandolin; Tor Brandt: Piano, Vocals; Andrew Dorman: Bass, Synth, Vocals; Olga Goija: Viola; Andreas Hansn: Guitar, Synth; Aske Krammer: Drums, Synth
