Thursday's performances of Amnesia Scanner, Aïsha Devi, Abyss X, Danse Noire and Coucou Chloe during the Warsaw edition of Avant Art Festival.

Amnesia Scanner, a duo born from algorithm, have been contextualising the irl and url through sound, text and image since 2014. Their dark euphoria esthetic is created by the self-invented chains of software that they feed with their interpretation of the present - “exaggerated, cartoonish, and scary”. Their latest addition to the production unit, a disembodied voice called Oracle, has now gained autonomous entity. Pan Records' leading project was rightfully listed as the best of 2018 by Crack Magazine, Fact Mag, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and Dazed & Confused; AS sound is hiper-condensed, with the use of Oracle, it ranges from digital pop, experimental hip-hop to futuristic R&B, or as they like to call it ‘Avant-EDM’. The visuals, overloaded with lights and information, juxtaposed with instantaneous total blackouts, compressed into their live show activate all sensors.

Along with three friends she set up a music label and later began to publish music under her own name. Today, Aïsha Devi and Danse Noire, never ceases to challenge mass culture, festivals and party goers. Both on her first (Of Matter and Spirit) and second (DNA Feelings) album, the Swiss artist uses vocals as a tool. Whether it is a high, etheric soprano or a mantric voice reciting monologues, her musical experiments combine nature with technology. Devi follows Björk and Arca, who contextualise a man's romance with technology, giving a living example for the symbiosis of the organic with the processed.

Abyss X is a greek producer and performer, based between New York and Berlin, challenges the norm and the hype, always in search for unexplored sonic endeavours. The artist draws from ancient Minoan culture, cutting the sounds of mythical Cretan instruments with her amazing vocals. She released music via Halcyon Veil, Danse Noire and Infinite Machine, runs her own SHXME imprint and curates the NATURE LOVES COURAGE festival. On stage, she fully embodies her dance and theatre backgrounds that have shaped her into the show woman that she is today.

Coucou Chloe is a French producer, co-founder and co-curator of NUXXE Records, permanent resident of NTS Radio coucou chloe's breakneck club creations consist of ice bass, modulated vocals and whispers. On her debut Halo EP, released on Creamcake, she adds exhausting heights with opera arias into club scenery, yet still preserves the economical and ascetic tone. The self-titled Erica Jane EP has a tendency towards slower BPMs, a sensual take on beats, and a gimmick inspired by the native trap scene. coucou turns her vocals into practically blase rap marmurs, that have now become her trademark.
