About Bismuth
Sounds Like: This two-piece makes difficult music danceable. So, don’t expect soundscapes, drones, nor rock or pop music. Although sound artists are mainly busy creating soundscapes these guys rock! Most instruments consist of wood, metal bars, strings and guitar pickups, but they don’t sound anything conventional in any way. Their homebuilt experimental instruments give us radically danceable beats, experimental grooves and free improvisation on top. All is created by sound on sounds looping, making clicks, bleeps and riffs. History: It starts in 2001, when Yuri Landman thought about a solutions for “prepared guitars” –a technique often aplied by Sonic Youth to create different sounds. In 2006 he invented the Moodswinger (later Homeswinger, for home build projects). This was the start of a ongoing career in making experimental instruments. So, Yuri made all these instruments. Cool! Doing workshops all around the world, he was invited by Arnold van de Velde and Rene van Lien (both Neon Rainbows, At No Bikini Beach and ex-Feverdream) record some songs in their studio in Rotterdam. While working on the recordings Arnold and Rene were often asked to join Yuri many times as a solid part of the group performances. They joined Yuri in the UK, France and Holland for serveral important shows. After doing many group performances with more than 15 people, it was time to make thing more simple. No more carrying 10 guitaramps, 2 drumkits and a bunch of effect pedals! Yuri asked Arnold to join him for a show on a Subbacultcha side shows at Eurosonic/Noorderslag. Some quotes by the audience: “I know Yuri for a long time, but this is the best thing I’ve ever seen of this dude!” “How nice! Did you make all this stuff yourself? How come it sounds so good?” “Strange music, but I certainly feel the beat!” Bismuth is a 2 piece electric noise band consisting of Yuri Landman & Arnold van de Velde
