Next show: Bratislava, Wed 25 Nov
An underground noise music artist from the local scene.
London based, Slovakian born Monika Subrtova is an experimental electronic musician who uses sound synthesis and sampling to render lucid, dystopian imagery. Her work draws on a wide range of influences from avant-garde to club tracks, and her approach in the studio is to foster a symbiotic flow between her and the myriad parameters of her machines. When she turns the power on, she welcomes egalitarian creative control between her and her instruments. The path, progression and mood of the output are as much in the hands of the hardware as they are her as she aims to adopt a position of presence; that is - maintaining creative plasticity in allowing what will happen to happen. This form of dialogue is often expressed via dilated drones, frosty sonics, skeletal rhythms and broad spatial sound design. These are the components that form the foundation of her ruminative solo work as well as the more boisterous collaborative work she produced alongside Daniel Kordik as Jamka , a project which dwelled in the more menacing pockets of Techno and Industrial noise. Through Subrtova’s recent ‘Omnia’ EP on Slovakian label Urbsounds - she presented three mechanical exercises which laid out a rubric for her subsequent LP ‘TOON’ which is due on the label sub-division of Bratislava based event Next Festival.
