Cortical (Live A/V)
Sat May 31 | de Brakke Grond
Cortical is the new project of Sevi Iko Dømochevsky & Daniel Benza; sonically close to the noise/experimental and industrial scene but with a club-oriented perspective, emphasising primarily percussive elements. Their new project is a perfect balance between severe minimalism and over-the-top maximalism.
During this year’s FIBER Festival, the duo will perform an A/V show including the sounds from their first release of last December: Wretched Patterns and Terrible Mistakes. The show's thematic core revolves around a vision of a future deprived of humanity, where autonomous computer intelligences roam unchecked, engaging in erratic experimentation, and forging corrupted, nonsensical life forms, all while generating a paradoxical order within the chaos. Expect dance-inducing, percussive beats, enforced with a hyper-detailed universe of live audio-reactive CGI.
About the artist
Cortical (Sevi Iko Dømochevsky & Daniel Benza) are multidisciplinary artists based in Barcelona, specialised in music production, CGI, and VFX. Within the process of making their first EP, they drew influences from artists like Mumdance, Lee Gamble or Arca. They are world builders first and foremost. Either with their audiovisual creations or in the booth, their love for the weirdest mutations of the last 30 years of club music. Their DJ sets are eclectic, cathartic and overwhelming to the senses. Dømochevsky & Benza are also participants of the collective Rally 5G: a hyper-accelerationist group that looks to redefine the clubbing experience by bringing carefully crafted extreme sounding and delirious-inducing experiences to the dancefloor.
