preface

preface Brabant seems to be an excellent breeding ground for talent that, throughout history, has had enormous significance for Europe. An unbroken line runs from the magnificent absurdity of Hieronymus Bosch to the sublime madness of Vincent van Gogh, to the inventors of the NatLab who gave the world sound, light and image, to the fairy-tale tellers of the Efteling and to the colourful West African palette of Vlisco designers. And now: an explosion of ‘useful idiots’ who freely give society their special taste, music, furniture, buildings, arts and, above all, ideas. To name a few: fashion designers Viktor & Rolf; DJ Tiësto; lingerie goddess Marlies Dekkers; architects Winy Maas and Jon Körmeling; designers Marcel Wanders and studio Job; film-maker Jan de Bont; art director Erik Kessels; shoe developer Floris van Bommel; classical musicians Storioni Trio; artists such as Tom Claassen, Marc Mulders and Joep van Lieshout. And recently, the remarkable crew of Incubate: developing this independent festival truly ‘Open Source’ and inviting other festivals to take over parts of the programme, introducing a new concept called ‘Social Festival Model’. This rich harvest of people comes from a traditionally impoverished province, where people struggled for survival on barren sand. Where people learned to make good use of the little that the land provided - resulting today in extensive manufacturing, top research and technology. Where people shared what little they had with the family. And, whenever possible, celebrated life together. And so it became, too, the region of mass carnival, brass bands, flower pageants, circus, choirs, attraction parks and the largest funfair in Europe. It is exactly here that Breda, ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Eindhoven, Helmond and Tilburg together want to become the Cultural Capital of Europe in 2018. To celebrate life together with our European family, inviting special people like you to pool your extraordinary talents with ours. Peter Rijntjes, Trailblazer for BrabantStad European Capital of Culture 2018

embassy of piracy

embassy of piracy Time is epic, the ecosystem of the Internet is tested and we are here to defend it. Old regimes are passing new laws and new regulations to uphold a failing system that nobody really wants. The internet today is not some virtual entity, but a network that can materialize in everything from court systems, parliaments and phone networks to memes, music and art systems. Internet is a methodology, not a place. The idea of an Embassy of Piracy came up when Piratbyr책n and The Pirate Bay got invited to contribute to first Internet Pavilion that was part of this years Venice Biennial. As an Embassy our task is to represent the freedom of Internet and pirates of Internet and to promote the Kopimi way of life.

The Embassy has multipliable and modifiable form in shape of a pyramid. By downloading and printing out the foldable paper model you can make the Embassy materialize anywhere; in public spaces, in the forest, at work, school or on your dinner table or for your pets. Remember, when you form an Embassy, you are legally within internet territory. Together we will multiply a growing number of Embassies all over the world. Share your photos of The Embassy on the http://embassyofpiracy.org We are all the Embassy, we are all Ambassadors of the freedom of Internet. This adventure is ours to swarm, modify and share.

Incubate got their heads refreshed. And so should you, you punks!

music program week

music program week Anaal Nathrakh (uk) Birmingham has a great rep when it comes to bands that like to push the barriers of sound and good taste. The town already treated the metal-minded to Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Napalm Death. Anaal Nathrakh spawned from the loins of these bands and will finish the work of their ancestors: to bring total Armageddon. It’s the audial essence of evil, hatred and violence. Anaal Nathrakh’s status as one of the leading lights in extreme metal is undeniable.

Bonaparte (DE) Bonaparte is one of a kind. Calling it weird would not even start to cover this freak show. But when you add words like interesting, spectacle, happy and circus Bonaparte gets a little more tangible. Make sure you don’t have to work on Wednesday morning. Because you’ll still struggle to shut your amazed eyes, have stomach aches from laughing, and will not be able to get their catchy tunes out of your head. tuesday September 15th, 23:30 - 00:30

wednesday September 16th, 22:00 - 23:00

Indie, Electro rock, Dance Punk

Grindcore, Death metal / v39

/ cul de sac

Boef en de Gelogeerde Aap (NL) Straight from around the corner, it’s our favorite dubstep/grime duo from Tilburg. thursday September 17th, 20:00 - 20:45 Dubstep, Grime / V39

drums are for parades

music program week

bonaparte

Drums Are For Parades (BE) Usually loud, violent and aggressive, this power-trio touches on many styles, most prominently including heavy metal, hardcore punk and noise rock, spiked with a subtle sexual groove. Live appearances are supersonic exercises in conquest by volume and sheer heaviness. tuesday September 15th, 20:30 - 21:15 Sludge, Hardcore / v39

Future Of The Left (UK) Mclusky was bigger than your band. Future Of The Left is bigger than life. Future of the Left consists of singer/guitarist Andy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Falcoâ&#x20AC;? Falkous and drummer Jack Egglestone, both previously of Cardiff band Mclusky. Future Of The Left follows the concrete path of noise, punk and indierock. Cool as fuck. Loud as fuck. tuesday September 15th, 22:00 - 23:00 Punkrock, Indierock / v39

music program week

jonquil

Jonquil (UK) Influenced by the likes of Joan Baez, The Microphones, Akron/Family, Swans and Stars of the Lid, Hugo Manuel of Jonquil spent a year collecting melodicas, reed organs, glockenspiels, dulcimers and whistles. With his band mates, he creates beautiful and engrossing dark gentle songs, dense summer drones, fairground field recordings and creeped-out dusty attic music. monday September 14th, 23:30 - 00:30 Folk, Indierock, Indie / cul de sac

Mentol Nomad (US) Mentol Nomad has been plying his trade on the New York underground for the better part of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s. Since 1999, he has been a foot soldier in the war against mediocre music, keeping the underground fed from the 1 and 2â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Now, many moons and tainted twists of fate later, the Nomad finally rises to the task of his Incubate-debut. monday September 14th, 20: 45 - 21:30 Hip hop, Avantgarde, Dub / v39

music program week

Moustafa Moustache (FR) Remember any of the six performances of the stir crazy Monotonix at ZXZW 2007? Than get ready for Moustafa Moustache at Incubate 2009. Three overactive ADHD types make crows dance harder than the average human being can handle. Throwing electronics, jungle, noise and rock in the mix, Moustafa Moustache will do anything to shake things up and destroy serenity. As George Costanza would put it: “You wanna get nuts?! Let’s get nuts!” thursday September 17th, 23:30 - 00:30

PINTANDWEFALL (FIN) Garage grrrlpower like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, only more retarded. In a good way, like Modest Mouse retarded. Pintandwefall brings punky party music made by four girls from Helsinki. Happy music, light lyrics, and a beat that reminds of The White Stripes will definitely get a party started during Incubate 2009. Zombies, and octopuses are occupying their lyrics as well as issues closer to home, like what to wear. These girls follow their own path and that path does not follow the rules. Bad girls. wednesday September 16th, 23:30 - 00:30 Indie, Garage, Punk / cul de sac

Dance, Punk / Cul de Sac PINTANDWEFALL

Noiz Boiz (NL) Noiz Boiz is pure Dutch grime with heavy dubstep oriented beats, fusing hiphop with garage and 2 step. Noiz Boiz is 3 guys, 2 mc’s and a producer bringing lyrical reflection about daily life in Rotterdam. thursday September 17th, 21:00 - 21:45 Dubstep, Grime / V39

music program week

Sensational (US) Once in an eternity an artist will come along who defies any explanation, breaks all boundaries, and destroys all preconceived notions as to what music is. In hip hop, no one even comes close to the man they call Sensational. The tripped-out flows, the broken beats, the lo-fi ambience all went largely unnoticed by the Puffy-worshipping masses. Without the help of a sequencer, using only a 4 or 8-track, a drum machine and a turntable, Sensational creates a true and original blend of hip hop, banishing the competition to the land of mediocrity. monday September 14th, 22:45 - 23:30

Suckafish P (AU) Suckafish P Jones (aka Mr Cloak and Dagger) makes music that makes you stagger. Producer and voice of the music, Suckafish drops border-crossing heavystep riddims around anthems of lashingly ironically abstract lyricism. Haunting and confounding melodies spit fire around slippery beats that resemble and destroy grime, hip hop and club music. It’s a celebration of bass, rhythm and tropical electronics. It burns when you touch it. thursday September 17th, 22:00 - 23:00 Grime, Hip hop, Dubstep / v39

Hip hop, Avantgarde / v39

Tiké (NL) Spectre, the Ill Saint (US) Spectre, The Ill Saint, is none other than Skiz Fernando, a singular figure in the media/arts community, DJ, Producer and owner of WordSound Recordings. His D.I.Y. approach and unique melting pot of Dub, Hip-Hop and Drum ‘n Bass is known worldwide for innovation, experimentation and creativity and let him to work with Prince Paul, Last Poets, X-ecutioners and the Jungle Brothers, to name a few. monday September 14th, 21:45 - 22:30 Hip hop, Dub, Avantgarde / v39

Born in Willemstad, Curaçao, Tiké grew up with Reggae, Bachate, Salsa, Gospel, Country and Soul. At the age of ten he heard a Tupac record which made him fall for hip hop. He truly is a rapping poet. monday September 14th, 20:00 - 20:30 Hip hop / v39

music program friday

music program friday Altar of Plagues (IRE) Altar of Plagues shift between unrelenting two chord black metal buzzsaw riffs, colossal melodies, lengthy atmospheric parts that build up tension and murky electronic soundscapes. Imagine a combination of Secrets of the Moon, Neurosis and Primordial. In 2008 they signed to Profound Lore Records and supported black metal legends Mayhem on their European tour. Terrorizer magazine about their debut: “one of the most promising debuts since Wolves in the Throne Room’s ‘Diadem of 12 stars’”.

Antoni Maiovvi (IT) We think he was there, sitting by the side of the pool, when Sabrina tried to get her ‘Boys Boys Boys’ in her small bikini top. It isn’t strange if Antoni Maiovvi had synthesizer lessons from Giorgo Moroder. And it wouldn’t surprise us if he roamed the disco’s with Falco. But it could just as well be that Anton Maiof (that’s his real name) paid attention to the charts when he was young. friday September 18th, 00:00 - 00:45 Disco, Italo dance / cul de sac

friday September 18th, 23:15 - 00:00 Doom, Metal, Black Metal / Extase

antoni maiovvi

Atomized (UK) Atomized is the new electronic project of Russell McEwan from Black Sun (Roadburn 2009) and Lea Cummings from Kylie Minoise (ZXZW 2008). In 2009 they released their debut Hits Of The 80’s, containing “raped versions of pop classics by Madonna, Visage, Howard Jones, Haircut 100 and Culture Club”. friday September 18th, 22:15 - 23:00 Noise, Pop / v39

music program friday

Big City Orchestra (US)

Birds of a Feather (NL)

This is not your standard Orchestra. The San Francisco Bay Area based band has released an enormous catalogue of recorded material over the past two decades. Formed in the late 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ensemble continues to maintain a free-flowing roster of artists from around the world that collaborate on specific projects. Categorizing the Orchestra into any given genre can be a task, as releases continue to surprise even the most devout listener. There is never any way to precisely classify the work of BCO.

Watch out for 80-ies style, youth crew sing-along hardcore, bringing an ever urgent message for a positive lifestyle and a better society. To show that straight edge is not â&#x20AC;&#x153;a passing phaseâ&#x20AC;?. To show that hardcore is not a passing phase. To prove that our ideals still matter, and still need work. friday September 18th, 22:30 -23:00 hardcore / Little Devil

friday September 18th, 20:45 - 21:15 Avantgarde, Experimental / v39

celan

music program friday

Brat Pack (NL) Hailing from the eastern part of The Netherlands comes Brat Pack: a punk rock band that you would expect from the western and sunny side of California. With ex- and current members of Beans, Antillectual, My Reply and Citizens Patrol they have a lot of experience in playing pure and uncut punk. Influenced by RKL, early NOFX, Adolescents and DI, they teamed up early 2006, for pure Westcoast hardcore punk worship. Think lots of speed and melody. friday September 18th, 00:00 - 00:45 punk / Little Devil

Celan (US) Celan is the brainchild of Ari Benjamin Meyers (Einstürzende Neubauten, Redux Orchestra) and Chris Spencer (Unsane). They met in Berlin during an Unsane tour and immediately got interest in creating a project to combine and melt their completely different backgrounds (classical, avantgarde, industrial, noise and hardcore). Phil Roeder, Franz Xavier (ex-members of flu. ID) and Niko Wenner (guitarist extraordinaire from OXBOW) completed the line-up that you’re about to witness. friday September 18th, 20:00 - 20:45 Rock, Experimental, Punk, Hardcore / 013 Kleine Zaal

corrosive

Dananananaykroyd (UK) “Their live shows have an utterly brutal magnificence” - Drowned in Sound. Once there was a little band from Glasgow that liked actor Dan Aykroyd. After a night of drinking they couldn’t pronounce it, and a great band name was born. That would be a nice story, but it’s not really true... The band describes their sound as ‘fight pop’, but it’s much more than that. They toured with Kaiser Chiefs, and if you like your onstage performance to come with a shitload of ADHD then watch this, watch this! friday September 18th, 21:15 - 22:15 Screamo, powerpop, post-punk, fightpop / 013 Kleine Zaal

Instruments (Make Music) (UK) Instruments (Make Music) make precise yet unconstrained math pop. It’s bouncy and fun, but hiding in the closet there’s a slice of drama which can’t help but rear its little head from the midst of chirpy melodies. These sounds are awash with jerky timings and impromptu closes, but this never compromises Instruments’ longing for the melodramatic pop song. It’s music to walk your dog, ride your bike or fly your kite to with a skip in your step, a beat in your chest and a smile on your face. friday September 18th, 22:45 - 23:30 math, pop / cul de sac

Manatees (UK) Darkness. Thick layers of filthy blackness. Escape is not an option. Covered by the slime that is actually dripping from the sound. It’s filling the room that seems to get smaller and smaller. The speakers cry by the sheer volume. Hypnotizing rhythms providing the groundwork for the dissonant screeching guitars and the vocals that come from deep within. Those places would be better left covered. Nothing left to do but to stand, watch and be carried away by the waves of these Manatees. friday September 18th, 21:15 - 22:00 Doom, Sludge, Post-metal, Drones, Metal / little devil

Pulled Apart By Pneu (FR) Vocals are overrated. And so are bass guitars. The two members of Pneu just bash the hell out of a drum kit and a guitar, in a way that makes The Death Letters look lake average Joes. Think Don Caballero, Victims Family, Jucifer and croissants. Their live energy is crude but controlled. Their shows never fail to unbore. Pneu preferably plays surrounded by their own audience, enabling both parties to engage in a maximum level of interaction. friday September 18th, 22:30 - 23:00 Noise Rock / Kafee ‘t Buitenbeentje

Horses (UK) AUWCH! It must be the most horrible torture method around: horses that tear limbs off. But Pulled Apart By Horses from Leeds isn’t a torture at all. Just don’t expect the most sweet singer-songwriter songs from this quartet. A mix of hardcore, crackling indie, punk will suffer your eardrums and make you dance the whole night long.

The Damned (UK) Never Mind the Sex Pistols, here’s The Damned! The Damned are the true pioneers of punk. The single ‘New Rose’ was released a month before ‘Anarchy in the UK’ of The Sex Pistols and ‘Damned Damned Damned’ was the first punk full length.

The Notorious Hi-Fi Killers (UK) Hi-fi is dead. Well, at least that’s what the name of this UK band suggests. And indeed, The Notorious Hi-Fi Killers embrace the lo-fi aesthetic with not just enthusiasm, but with downright aggression. With their amps turned up to 11 and the distortion pedals on maximum overdrive, the band jumps and crunches through a number of Punk influenced songs. This basic, down n’ dirty rock n’ roll. friday September 18th, 23:30 - 00:00

Tune-Yards (US) Tune-Yards from the United States make mini-epics that bring to mind an early, crude version of Juana Molina’s onewoman-band aesthetic; others sound like they’re being whispered around a latenight campfire burning a few tents over. The “production” is rough in a sub-demo matter: Like listening to a blocky digital clipping that happens whenever the voice recorder is overloaded, which is often. Incubate hopes you can stand it. friday September 18th, 20:00 -20:45 Alternative / Paradox

An Emerald City (NZ) Emerald is a green and not very hard stone. Not the preferred material when you want to build a city. Nevertheless are there at least ten cities on the globe that have Emerald City as a nickname. Maybe because the stone is beautiful and mysterious. Qualities that can also be found in the music of An Emerald City. Melting oriental melodies with trance-like post rock structures, An Emerald City creates a flying carpet of sound that takes you right into a mythical Arab city and lets you fly around minarets and over the head of snake-charmers. Fly into that dreamy wonderland you always thought only theme-parks could create. saturday September 19th, 18:30 - 19:15 Post-rock, Instrumental / extase

Awol One (US) Aufgehoben (UK) This band from the UK improvises freejazz, rock, noise and many more styles into great compositions. “If you know what Francis Bacon did to Velazquez’s portrait of Pope Innocent X, then you’ll have some idea of what Aufgehoben are doing to rock music; reducing it to a violent, nightmarish smear of a thing. It’s cathartic, ugly, beautiful and hard to ignore.”, according to BBC Experimental Reviews. saturday September 19th, 20:00 - 20:45 Impro, Freejazz, Rock / Paradox

Cheveu (FR) Cheveu is electrogaragepunk that’s dirty because you rubbed it on the floor, not just because they don’t shower.

Equal parts ambient and virtuosic, melancholic and playful, CJ Boyd’s bass playing melts glaciers, creating a sea of low, flowing rhythms, while also supplying melodies that soar over the ocean to melt the sun itself.

About their lyrics they say: “Most of the time people die in our songs. That does not happen on purpose, it happens accidental. We tell them to live, but behind our backs they suddenly die anyway.” This innocence can be found in their music also.

If you would think about rivers, nostalgia, films or other things listening to Finn., we honestly don’t know, so we won’t go into that either.

Jandek absolutely is a phenomenon and this is your chance to see him play live!

You get to view his face all squished up against the other side of the glass like a kid on a special bus wiping his nose down the window as you overtake them on the motorway.

Soon all of the words in the English language will be taken and each band will simply go by ID numbers, like “Band 528462”. These guys might be a little crazy, but we think we need that in musicians. The boring guys never succeed, and Youves are anything but. This is Foals for people that find them pedestrian. saturday September 19th, 23:15 - 00:00 Indierock / Cul de Sac

AJ Holmes & The

Moon: (DK)

Hackney Empire (UK)

One of the leading acts in the obscure neofolk scene. The music is characterized by the use of acoustic guitar and key board next to flute, cello, various drums, accordion and/or violin, and a whispering way of singing. A prominent role in the music, artwork and lyrics are pagan and runic themes. All this together creates a strong dark but very soothing ambient atmosphere. sunday September 20th, 16:00 - 16:30 Folk, Neofolk / Pauluskerk

A.J. Holmes & The Hackney Empire play a distinctive blend Kwaito, Kuduro, Afro Indie, Tropical Dance, Turkish pop, Afro pop, Rumba and everything in between and do this incredibly well. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re currently resident band at the monthly London Tropical party Secousse and have recently played with David Byrne at the Royal Festival Hall in London. Not bad, right? So check out these cheerful chaps and swing your butt off. sunday September 20th, 19:30 - 20:30 Dance, Afro, Tropical / Muzetuin

Aluk Todolo (FR) Experimental black metal influenced by people such as Hermann Nitsch and Albin Julius (Der Blutharsch). With the goal to create a timeless, organic mix of krautrockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strangeness and black metalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coldness, Aluk Todolo conjures rabid obsessive rhythms and abyssal disharmonic guitars. Subliminal spiritualist vibrations and bizarre, magic summonings. Very dark. Very scary. Very nice.

Ashtray Navigations (UK) Ashtray Navigations are a psychedelic noise project. Whilst the music evades easy categorization due to variations in sound, approach and personnel, it often incorporates extended droning and lengthy guitar pieces. Not exactly easylistening, but it is one of those interesting artists you come to Incubate for.

Bain Wolfkind (AU) The music of Bain Wolfkind could be described as a minimalised and postindustrialised version of artists like Lee Hazlewood with dark brooding vocals and slow blues, rock, country, psychedelic, cinematic, surf, swamp and electronic overtones. The lyrical content draws heavily from crime fiction, blues, country and Americana. sunday September 20th, 18:15 - 19:00 music noir / Hall of Fame

bodi bill

Bodi Bill (DE) Bodi Bill is easy to dance to, but also for listening pleasure. Think of a laidback version of The Knife with a touch of Depeche Mode, without the pretentious frills that surround it. In die Heimat they are already boosting and now we can decide for ourselves if Bodi Bill is for dancing or for listening. Or maybe both. sunday September 20th, 21:30 -22:15 Electronic, Pop / Cul de Sac

Brethren Of The Free Blues Control (US) Blues Control are a psychedelic Queens NYC, New York band featuring the members of Watersports: Russ Waterhouse (guitar, electronics, tapes) and Lea Cho (keyboards, electronics). Their work is characterized by spaced out churchlady keyboard patterns, done in rock vocabularies and possessing metrics that belong solely to the realm of freedom and singularity. Something like Holy Fuck, but then sexier. sunday September 20th, 19:00 - 19:45 Psychedelic / v39

Spirit (US) Old things can be cool, no seriously. That is, when some cool dude does cool stuff with it, of course. Like Jozef van Wissem. He plays the lute in Brethren Of The Free Spirit. Together with guitarist James Blackshaw, he puts forth experimental folk with an ethereal, almost religious feel. sunday September 20th, 17:30 - 18:00 avantgarde, folk, acoustic / pauluskerk

Bronnt Industries Kapital (UK) Bronnt Industries Kapital is the work of UK-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Guy Bartell, who has spent eight years exploring deep frosts of electroacoustic melancholy, slow-burning sonic terrain and uncharted detours into the absurd. He draws as much inspiration from myriad marginal movies as from the dance roots of Krautrock.

Constellations (UK) When you are in Tilburg during Incubate 2009 and all of a sudden you find yourself walking the mountain tops of the Himalaya, you most probably stumbled into the Constellations gig. Constellations is a musician that creates sonic panorama views of mountain tops that makes the listener believe he or she is an eagle flying through that tranquil space filled with fresh mountain air. This is your ambient post-rock ticket to relaxation.

Crocus (UK) Unsatisfied with former projects, Crocus decided to quicken the pace, up the beats and pour every last drop of honesty and emotion they have.

They combine elements of 90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s screamo and power violence and are an amazing live band. sunday September 20th, 19:15 - 20:00 Screamo / Little Devil der blutharsch

Deepkiss720 (UK) The Noisicians Noisician. Jason Williams (aka Deepkiss 720) is one of UK noise musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best-kept secrets. A typically eclectic and terminally unclassifiable opus featuring genre-bending plunderphonics, lo:tech glitch, pre-lap top cut ups and general sonic mayhem. sunday September 20th, 17:45 - 18:15 Noise / v39

Der Blutharsch (AT) Der Blutharsch create a marching music of bombastic rhythms and folkish melodies, often infused with historical military speeches and orchestral samples. Their early works are minimalistic samplebased instrumentals in an industrial/ ambient vein. Later, they switched to a more folk/acoustic sound, and their latest release takes Der Blutharsch in a more experimental wave/rock direction. Diverse to say the least, Der Blutharsch does not follow musical paths they do not choose themselves. sunday September 20th, 20:45 - 21:45 music noir, Experimental / Hall of Fame

As she pounds out song after song about girls, heartbreak and more girls on her acoustic guitar, sweat pours down her face and the spirit of rock’n roll breaks way in its simplest, rawest form... sunday September 20th, 15:30 - 16:00 Country, weird / weemoed

Holy State (UK)

I Love Sarah (BE)

Holy State has its influences, but the guys donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go as far as wearing them on their sleeves. No, they tattoo their necks with them. Influences from Drive Like Jehu and the Jesus Lizard has resulted in a sound that pays strong reference to their heroes. This is no imitation though, taking their cues from the new wave of punk bands like Fucked Up, Gallows and The Bronx. sunday September 20th, 15:45 - 16:30

I Love Sarah is a strange pop outfit from Mechelen. Their music is a weird trip through synthpop, jazz, metal, hardcore, mathrock, surf, folk and noise. Sometimes even during one single song. As I Love Sarah finds that humor belongs in music they sing about the Irish resistance to the Chinese invaders. sunday September 20th, 15:30 - 16:00 Indie, Experimental / sounds

James Blackshaw (UK) When UK-native James Blackshaw plays his 12-string guitar, something spiritual takes place. In his part improvised and part written songs, Blackshaw makes expert use of Eastern and Western scales, chord changes reminiscent of European classical music and incredibly intricate fingerpicking patterns. The result is a sound that is both challengingly minimalistic, yet warm and approachable to anybody who might hear it, with a rare sensitivity that conveys both immense beauty, hope and sadness. sunday September 20th, 18:30 - 19:00 Acoustic, Avantgarde / pauluskerk

Jozef van Wissem (NL) Jozef van Wissem is a Dutch minimalist composer and lute player. Van Wissem wrote out mirror images of hundreds of classical lute tablature pieces, copying them out from the bottom right to the top left corner.

TUJIKO NORIKO

nitsch

nitsch Highly controversial for some, highly regarded by others. Hermann Nitsch is someone you need to have an opinion on. As a prominent member of the Viennese Actionism movement, Nitsch is one of the instigators of performance art. 50 years ago, Nitsch introduced his first ideas for the Orgien Mysterien Theater: performances that draw inspiration from the ancient sacrifice ritual, where Christian and liturgical elements are interwoven with heathen and pagan practices. His work is highly multi-disciplinary: combining Wagners ideas of gesamtkunstwerk (‘total art’), Jackson Pollocks action painting and the Theatre of Cruelty of Antonin Artaud. His work has had a strong impact on visual art, contemporary dance as and musical genres like industrial and black metal. During the festival Nitsch’ full range of work will be shown. Incubate gives the opportunity to see this important artist at work on his actions, music and philosophy.

a part of nitsch’s handwritten script

nitsch

Exhibition: ‘Kreuzwegstationen’ Nitsch’s paintings bare a lot of resemblances to his performances. Mainly because the painted patterns remind one of the rubbing movements that take place during his Actions; either with paint, entrails or fruit. Nitsch paints in series and throws (mostly red) paint all over the vast canvas, afterwards altering them with his hands. Museum for contemporary art ‘De Pont’ presents an overview of some of Hermann Nitsch’ painted works, with paintings that have never before been seen in the Netherlands. From September 5th till October 4th, 11:00 -17:00 (closed on mondays) / museum de pont Free entrance with an Incubate wristband during the festival

Exhibition Scripts Hermann Nitsch carefully plans his performances through handwritten scripts. But is it possible to translate the intensity of the Actions to paper? The Scryption museum for written communication is turned into an easy accessible centre of documentation. Here the Incubate audience can read about Nitsch’s work, see Actions on video and look through the transcripts of his performances. This will provide insight into the work method of this artist. At the same time the opportunity arises to study and compare several of his performances. From September 7th till October 4th, tuesday till friday 10:00 -17:00 saturday & sunday 12:00 - 17:00 (closed on mondays) / museum scription Free entrance with an Incubate wristband during the festival

Masterclass Incubate gives the unique opportunity to several students to talk about their mode of production with Hermann Nitsch. Just like in the interview with Henk Oosterling on Sunday 13th, the public will get a chance to get better acquainted with the incentives and methods of working of Nitsch. But of course students ask different questions than a philosopher. Hermann Nitsch is a professor at the University of Vienna with the Arts and Drama faculty, and therefore has a extended experience in dealing with students. This Master class will be open to the public.

Tussen Kunst en Nitsch, interview What drives this multidisciplinary artist avant la lettre? What is his reason to spend all his life seeking for, and crossing over, the borders of genres and the borders of public morality? In this live interview philosopher and Nitsch-expert Henk Oosterling tries to get closer to the versatile and distinct character of Hermann Nitsch. Sunday September 13th, 20:00 / nwe vorst

Organ concert Nitsch’s favorite instrument is the organ. He will perform one of his own pieces in the Pauluskerk. His music is characterized by a cloud of sounds and long-held, droning tones. Sometimes you’ll hear Wagner influences, but improvisation and volume are equally important. thursday September 17th, 20:00 / Pauluskerk

Its aim is to present the most interesting artists that have graduated from one of the Brabant Province Art Academies in the last five years. These young artists get a place present their work outside the regular art circuit. This will help them to make new connections with other (international) artists and hopefully help put them on a path towards their own individual career in visual arts. For the first edition we’ve asked the artists to make work inspired by Incubates main guest Hermann Nitsch and the Viennese Actionists and examine the theme’s used in their work.

Jak Peters (nl) Jak Peters likes to surprise the viewer. He creates normal, everyday things into strange materials. An apple made out of snow. A house made from French fries. He likes to emulate things in strange materials, sometimes giving the object a mechanical feature. Peters graduated from the Art Academy in 2006 and earned a Lucas Award for his final presentation. The self-evidential style and the diversity in composition and materials delivers surprising and humorous works.

Leonie Ruissen (nl) Leonie Ruissen graduated from the school of fine arts in 2006. The medium in which she works varies, but her work is always about expressing her inner world of feelings and thoughts. For this occasion she chooses poetry, singing and performing.

Liselotte de Groot (nl) Besides a photographer, Liselotte also is a performance artist, vj, dj and performs with her two bands. This diversity of interests has a big influence on her photographic artwork. Subjects such as modern pop culture and sex, combined with her love for sarcasm and self-mockery, creates a humorous and colorful look at the world.

Merijn Denkers (nl) Merijn Denkers graduated on visuals arts at St. Joost in 2008. He now searches for reconciliation of his nomadic nature. In his video installations history and philosophy goes hand in hand with the irrational.

Michiel van de Weerthof (nl) Michiel van de Weerthof is everything: from an orchestrator, composer, songwriter, songsmith, audio-designer, musician, performer, graphical designer, film maker, visual artist, choreographer and all round showman.

Renée van Trier (nl) liselotte de groot

manon van Trier (nl) Manon van Trier is a multi disciplinary artist. She uses a wide arsenal of visual means to escape the absurdity of the world that surrounds us. The impossibility of escape leads to tragic comic images that really don’t want to be tragic or comic.

Renée van Trier’s work is created from planned as well as coincidental moments. In her performance she works with different disciplines, such as videos, photographs, installations, and soundscapes. The human body is an important subject in the works and she plays with the time span, rhythm, and repetition. In 2009 Van Trier did a residency program at the MFA Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, California.

Vincent Dams (nl) Vincent Dams has never seen a whale in real life and has never been in a hot air balloon, but he always looks up when one is floating around. Vincent Dams loves Sole, backed in rich butter and is very much an indoor person. That’s why he likes to sit around and hum in other people’s gardens. Vincent Dams tried to paste Zappa’s moustache on Nietsche’s face and vice versa the other day, but decided to go on a bike ride because of the nice weather.

willem claassen

Willem Claassen (nl) Claassen works with subjects like function and non-function. The twisted meanings that follow from this are the base of his work.

space that can be filled

space that can be filled From Monday september 14th till sunday september 20th @ nwe vorst Contemporary dance is more than imitating a dying swan. It’s a physical spectacle in which the body becomes a weapon to give food for thought to the audience. Incubate presents ‘Space that can be filled.’ It’s a dance program which shows the diversity of contemporary dance and performance art. The dance program is divided in two parts: performances that are influenced by Hermann Nitsch, the main guest on Incubate. And autonomous performances of artists. But what all artists have in common, is their controversial approach to dance, their free and cutting edge minds and that they aren’t afraid to walk the cultural boundaries.

Doris Stelzer (AU) ‘Views in Process’ takes a look behind the superficiality of clichés and stereotypes in the media’s presentation of the body. Doris Stelzer has a fascination for movement and how we think about ourselves and others. In ‘Views in Process’ this is combined in a show that does embody a lot of movement that you do not necessarily have to call dancing. In this way, she uses the body to critique socialpolitical views on body images. monday September 14th, 20:30 / nwe vorst

Nuno Lucas (PT) ‘Pongo Land’ is a meeting of two very different bodies. Exploring differences, similarities and possible or impossible relationships between each other, Nuno Lucas and Hermann Heisig are reducing questions about civilization and order into a primitive landscape, in which they constantly compare, compete and copy, creating a state of permanent modulation... tuesday September 15th, 20:30 / nwe vorst

Franko B and Kamal Ackarie (UK) How far can you go with your own body? Until recently, Franko B used to bleed heavily during performances, but stopped for health reasons. But his new performance ‘Don’t Leave Me This Way’ is intriguing either way. Franko B joined forces with Kamal Ackarie (Technical Director for Diamanda Galas a.o.) to create an intertwining of performance and visual arts. Franko B’s body is presented naked and unpainted, leaving his many tattoos uncovered. The audience is allowed time to look at his body, to approach it as a sculptural form. After ICA in London and Palais des Beaux-Art in Brussels, the performance will have its Dutch premiere at Incubate. wednesday September 16th, 20:30h & 22:30 / nwe vorst

Pavlos Kountouriotis

Pavlos Kountouriotis (US) Not only being a choreographer, Pavlos Kountouriotis is also a legal expert. And he writes a lot as well. About dance, pornography, violence and the manipulation of images. Inspired by Susan Sontag’s last book about war photography ‘Regarding the Pain of Others’, this lecturer at the University of Chester will bring his vision on violence in the form of a ‘lecture performance’.

Costes (FRA) Shockpunker GG Allin once said that his body was public property, including everything coming out of it. Noise artist/ performer Jean Louis Costes must have heard this quote. Just like GG Allin and the Viennese Aktionists, Costes also uses various bodily juices, sexual gestures and religious symbolism to pour power into his performances. For Incubate this Frenchmen will give a special performance inspired by this year’s central guest Hermann Nitsch.

Micheline Torres (BRA) In ‘Carne’ by Micheline Torres the manipulation of flesh (carne in Spanish) and sexuality are explored as well as their meanings. Meat from the supermarket, but also her own naked body will be used in this mind-bending performance. ‘Carne’ is the first part of Micheline Torres´ project ‘My Body is my Politics’ and will be part of the Nitsch-program. saturday September 19th, 20:30 & sunday September 20th, 20:30 (after Jenny Beyer) / nwe vorst

micheline torres

Jenny Beyer (DE) Jenny Beyer sets herself a variety of choreographic tasks, based on the visual strength of various paintings, photos and film sequences. The tasks lead her through a series of physical states. These are all translated into poses, gestures and movements. The solo examines the freedoms and leeway the dancer has in relation to the choreography and questions the pictorial quality of movement. The body becomes a tableau vivant. sunday September 20th, 20:30 / nwe vorst

Last year the people from BLA in Oslo treated us to a week of new and innovative music from their country. And now we cross over to that glorious city by the Bristol Channel called eerrmm… Bristol! Cary Grant, Wallace & Gromit and tarmac all have one thing in common; they all began life in Bristol. This is also where Banksy created his most famous works of art and where Blackbeard the Pirate used to live. You’ll be surprised at how many popular TV programs are filmed in Bristol and which worldwide recording artists started out here. Bristol’s music scene has a reputation for innovation, experimentation and quality. In the past the city has been home to a wide range of artists who’ve drawn their inspiration from the cities wide ranging musical cross-currents. Most of us remember the heady days of Bristol’s trip-hop scene in the late ‘90s when Portishead, Massive Attack, Roni Size and Tricky broke through into the mainstream. The message is clear - there’s a lot of talent in the city, so come by to see the inQUbate program and check out some of the best new artists coming up from the city and/or buzzing around The Cube, the second home of the QU people...

Nancy Elizabeth (UK) Nancy Elizabeth has one of Northern England’s finest voices. She is a gifted multi-instrumentalist and the piano has recently become central to her performances. She sings extraordinarily magical yet honest songs and has that special gift for moving audiences into appreciative wonderment with her ambiguous lyrics and emotional songs. Nancy has that unquestionable strength of conviction, emotionally terse lyrics and lack of fluffiness. Her new album ‘Wrought Iron’ is out on Leaf in October.

hauschka (De) Hauschka is the Düsseldorf-based pianist Volker Bertelmann, who plays the piano in a myriad of ways. His music can be microscopic in detail and quietly entrancing, or widescreen and cinematic in scope and feel. His beautiful post-classical chamber works draw on minimalism and are laced with the spirit of Fluxus. The results are startlingly original and vivid yet immediately accessible - Eric Satie’s mischievous miniatures, Indonesian gamelan and The Books all get a look in.

tom bugs (uk) Tom Bugs is a revered analogue musical device scientist and musician from Bristol. He builds synth contraptions, pickups and noise generators and plays them to mesmerizing effect. Between 2001 and 2006 his creative focus was in performance and recording, both solo as Knowledge of Bugs and in several bands around Bristol including Francois and the Atlas Mountains, War Against Sleep and Bronnt Industries Kapital. Since 2006 he has known a gradual slide from music into electronics. tuesday September 15th, 20:00 - 20:45

silver pyre (uk) GS Fawle from Silver Pyre likes to wander the fossiled shores of Somerset, and this translates in his mystical music. Silver Pyre gets his influences and tapes his music not only in an exposed barn, but also under the monolithic shadows of a nuclear power station. He creates drones, driven by an accordion with a hint of romantic Detroit techno. Blending richly crackling textures with yearning vocals, drums and accordion. tuesday September 15th, 21:00 - 21:45 Electronic, Ambient, Techno / paradox

gravenhurst (uk) Gravenhurst is a vehicle for the music of singer-songwriter, producer and multiinstrumentalist Nick Talbot, who lives in Bristol, England and is signed to Warp. Talbot characterizes Gravenhurst as a world created by sound and language, ever-changing and conjured from disparate ingredients. Noticeable is the melodic noise of My Bloody Valentine, the lush vocal harmonies of Simon and Garfunkel, and the influence of a diverse range of guitarists including Bert Jansch and Richard Thompson. tuesday September 15th, 22:00 - 23:00 Singer-songwriter, Shoegaze / paradox

freeze puppy (uk) Freeze Puppy takes pan-generational British guitar pop from The Beatles to Blur, the alluring glitzoid bombast of Broadway musicals, song craft standardbearers like Scott Walker, Bacharach and his namesake Brian, Zimbabwean mbira players and celestial Sardinian folk and makes it his own. The album ‘Animation’ is a masterpiece unlike anything else. It reminds one of Ray Davies in peak form. It’s so full of outsider pop moments that you want John Peel to be alive to appreciate it fully. wednesday September 16th, 20:00 - 21:00

bass clef (uk) Bass Clef is an analogue fetishist of the bottom end kind. His live show bypasses laptop/looping and embraces a heavy and warm sound that makes you wiggle. Ringing cow-bells, woozy trombone blasts and theremin effects all spicing up his deep, deliciously rhythmic undertow. The trombone heavy live set combines a heady mixture of big bass, dirty high-end and warm melodies with some real killer hooks.

Ferenc Kovács is a violin and trumpet virtuoso from Budapest, Hungary whose range can swoop from raw to tender, fiery jazz to gipsy folk. Foremost a musician, Ferenc is also hunter, martial arts fighter and sculptor. He has played his way around the world with the Kálmán Balogh Gipsy Cimbalom band and A Hawk And A Hacksaw as part for the Hun Hangar Ensemble, after years playing Jazz and Contemporary Classical behind the Iron Curtain.

Dub Echoes

Man, Ooman

(BRA, 2009, Bruno Natal)

(DK, 2007, Rosforth)

“Dub Echoes” is a documentary that traces the origins of the Jamaican dub music and its influence on the development of hip hop and electronic music. The film shows how the Jamaican invention called dub ended up influencing much of the music we hear today, from electronic music to hip-hop, transforming the studio in a musical instrument and giving way to all of sonic experiments.

Dancehall is the music of the poor working class, and even if it’s all about looking flashy and being all sexed up in front of the video camera, the tension is bubbling up from under the surface - not least in the raw and ultra-sexual dance, which can easily take place up in trees and on top of lampposts, while living up to the deeply-rooted homophobia that accompanies it...

Director Merle Becker crosses the country interviewing rock poster artists from the different eras to discover that America is currently in the midst of a 21st century “rock poster art movement”, where thousands of artists around the country are doing silk screened rock poster art inspired by their local scene, the music of our time, and the spirit of our era.

Mr. Catra the Faithful (DK, 2005, Rosforth)

Mr Catra calls himself O Fiel, The Faithful, and he is indeed very faithful, in his own way, to God and to his facção, Comando Vermelho, the most powerful criminal organization in Brazil. This film offers you an insight into a unique part of Rio de Janeiro that the official Brazilian society abstains from acknowledging. Poverty-ridden and druglord-controlled, the favelas, for the most part, are totally inaccessible to cameras. This film is the exception.

z-stock Friday September 18th & Saturday September 19th from 14.00 till 22.00 Sunday September 20th, from 13.00 till 21.00 @ Pieter Vreedeplein The best concert posters have always captured both the essence of the music they promoted and the spirit of the time in which they were produced. This is as true today as it was in San Francisco during the Sixties. Z-Stock provides the public with an opportunity to see fine poster art and to meet the artists who’ve created it. During Incubate, the best concert poster designers from all over the world will display and sell their work in the best context possible. It will give you the opportunity to explore different styles within the visual ‘genre’ of the concert poster. There will also be a small market with clothes and music. You can also enjoy vegan food, while watching the posters. American Artifact If you are interested in the history of the concert poster, we advise you to see American Artifact, which will be showed during the Incubate film program ‘Film at Incubate’. Highly recommended for poster art n00bs and experts alike!

kraaklink From monday september 14th till sunday september 20th @ Kunstpodium T Meeting contemporary composed music in a place that is nothing like the average high-brow concert hall.

This makes it one of the most interesting programs of Incubate, aiming to bring contemporary composed music to a relaxed and interested audience. On Monday, Saturday and Sunday Kraaklink collaborates with November Music. They created the ‘Composers Club’ especially for young, relatively unknown composers.

incubate innovation lecture 113

incubate innovation lecture Friday September 18th, 14:00 @ NWE Vorst At Incubate we love to innovate. So every year we organize the Incubate Innovation Lecture about innovation in the cultural territory. This year Incubate invited Andrew Keen to give a keynote speech. Keen is a web entrepreneur as well as a web critic. In 1995 he founded Audiocafe. com and built it into a well-known first generation Internet music company. But after a while, Keen saw the negative impact of the democratization of the internet and the web 2.0 hype. He wrote The Cult of the Amateur, which became an international bestseller and earned Andrew Keen the nickname â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Antichrist of Silicon Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. He has written for many other publications including The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, The London Guardian, Forbes, The Weekly Standard, Prospect, Fast Company and Entertainment Weekly. Currently he is a columnist for the Daily Telegraph. After the keynote speech, a discussion between an international panel of experts

from the fields of arts, economy and politics will take place. Panelist will be Konrad Boehmer, Hans Abbing, Amelia Andersdotter and James Kirby. The discussion will be moderated by Xandra Schutte. The Incubate Innovation Lecture is organized in cooperation with BKKC, Muziekcentrum Nederland and De Groene Amsterdammer and is part of the ambition of Brabant to become European Capital of Culture in 2018. andrew keen

wardruna Saturday September 19th, 21:00 - 00:00 @ Natuurtheater Imagine: The sun is setting in a forest far, far away of the buzzing city and noisy indie bands swarming around Tilburg. Torches will be lit and Wardruna takes the stage. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll immediately take you on a journey through the dark forests, fjords and caves reining the Norwegian landscape. The Norwegian band Wardruna will give a special one-off performance at the Incubate festival in Tilburg, The Netherlands. The ambient folk project of black metal musicians Kvitrafn (Jotunspor, ex-Gorgoroth) and Gaahl (God Seed, ex-Gorgoroth) will perform at an amphitheater in the middle of a forest. Wardruna received raving reviews on their 2009 debut Gap Var Ginnunga. Bandleader Kvitrafn threw his metal roots overboard to make an album full of dark ambient folk. The album is a musical journey through the history of Norwegian mythology and paganism, made with traditional Norwegian instruments as the goat horn and tagelharp. Also sounds of trees, stones, water and

fire can be heard on the album. Shows of Wardruna are scarce, but always memorable. Previously, the band played on a Viking ship and in a chapel on a mountain. The surroundings gives the music a stronger mystical feel. The show of Wardruna in the Nature theater of Oisterwijk is the only Dutch show of the band. The concert will be introduced with a lecture on the history of paganism and esotericism in Europe. This very special performance of Wardruna will be open for everyone with a Incubate 2009 dayticket for Saturday and of course all Incubate 2009 passepartouts. The bus ride will cost â&#x201A;Ź3,- You can also get there by own transportation A cooperation between Incubate and Schatten van Brabant.

putting the arts back into darts V/Vm is mainly known for his audio projects. Since the mid nineties he’s been raping, recycling and then releasing remixes of popular pop songs. This way of working is also known as ‘Plunderphonics’. In between he’s also been composing his own electronic music and doing lots of live shows across the world. In 2006 he performed at our ZXZW festival and in that same year he gave away over 600 releases for free. This way, V/Vm is busy with issues about copyright, creative commons and original versus copied works. In this year’s project he’ll combine these issues with his passion for darting. He invites all the Incubate artists as well as students from the Avans and Fontys Hogeschool to dart and discuss along at Kunstpodium T. The gallery will be turned into Incubates own Dart-Café. Besides darts and discussions, there will also be room for V/Vm’s enormous amount of outsider-like cd/lp artwork he made for his audio releases. These works often involve pop culture icons transformed into typical V/ Vm parodies.
