Riga’s Skaņu Mežs festival for adventurous music and related arts is having its lucky 13th edition this year.
The first concert evening of the festival will be largely devoted to rhythmic music and experiments within this field. Performances by Warp Records’ classic Squarepusher and Diagonal Records’ Powell will be complimented with a string of acts from the newly formed SHAPE platform for innovative music and audiovisual art. These acts include: trance music deconstructionist Lorenzo Senni, Hungarian computer music composer Gabor Lazar, Latvian experimental techno project N1L, Portugal’s afro-house star DJ Nigga Fox and Pasajera Oscura – a collaborative project of Chra and Irradiation.
The festival will then continue on the next weekend.Unlike the first evening of the festival, these last two will be stylistically quite diverse, ranging from contemporary composition and free improvisation to noise rock and avant-pop within one evening.
The guests of these concert evenings include the mysterious rhythmic music producer Rrose, famous free improvisers, such as Peter Brötzmann and John Butcher, ambient musician Christoph Heemann, legendary pianist and composer Frederic Rzewski and the New York "new music"/avant-rock ensemble Zs.
