EU Culture week Musicians/Bands:
Oliver Poole Oliver Poole is a British Pianist and composer. His musical life started at an early age when he became the youngest winner of the EPTA trophy (as the most promising young pianist in Europe) aged seven, reclaiming the title again the following year. He first performed with the National Youth Orchestra at eight-years-old, became the subject of numerous press features and live broadcasts at age fifteen, toured Siberia and founded the British registered charity Siberian Appeal at seventeen and has since performed at venues and festivals.
Tikkle Me Tikkle Me is an electronic pop-art collective formed by Frida Herchenröther (programming/vocals) and Karin Taberman (keyboards) in Eskilstuna, Sweden. After some DIY singles they released their self-titled debut album in 2010 on the label ‘A Westside Fabrication’. Since then the duo has transformed and grown. Today it's a whole artistic collective with musicians, singers, dancers, photographers, and video makers who frequently tour Sweden and have performed live shows in Germany, Russia, Belarus and Georgia. In 2013 Tikkle Me signed with Gaphals recordings and in April 2014 they released the album "What Is Real".
The BearFox The BearFox is an experimental project of musicians Irakli Manchkhashvili and Mebo Nutsubidze. Their main goal is to break frames and restrictions in music. They use all types of sounds of musical instruments they like. They don’t belong to any one type of music; they are just making music which expresses their attitude towards the universe. They are inspired by nature, animals, birds, humans and human relationships.
Oimactta Oimactta is an electronic experimental band. The first album Bad Trips has been released in March 2014. Currently Oimactta works on another album, that will be released in fall this year. This summer Oimactta participated in the project initiated by the Sun Glitter and recorded the track.
