CHRISTOPH HEEMANN FEST: In Camera & VIOSAC (SUNDAY JUNE 10 IN GREENFIELD, MA)

if you ever wanted to take a lovely early june weekend ride up to western mass, this is the day to do it. This German/Western Mass lovefest is sure to be written about in the history books.

The return of legendary German experimental/soundscape master Christoph Heemann in the context of his IN CAMERA project with Timo Van Luijk(Noise Makers Fifes) has inspired a mini-festival encompassing the better part of a lovely Sunday in June here in Greenfield at John Doe Jr Records. http://www.discogs.com/artist/Christoph+Heemann

Traveling with IN CAMERA is Graham Stewart who was a key member of the late 80s/early 90s post-industrial project from Canada then known as Violence & the Sacred. Recently re-constituted as VIOSAC Stewart’s appearance is a very welcome surprise! http://touchingextremes.wordpress.com/2010/08/10/three-from-graham-stewart%E2%80%99s-viosac/

Other excellent (and mostly confirmed) performers from in and around the PV include:
-Son of Earth
-Red Favorite
-Chris Cooper/Jess Goddard
-Liz Tonne
-Noise Nomads
-Matt Weston
-Idea Fire Company

Performances to start mid/late afternoon and run through the evening. IN CAMERA will be scheduled to play around 8pm with a performer or two afterwards as well.

$5 per person donation gets access for the day.

Loved the Noise Nomads set. Coop, Jess and Josh were another insane highlight. I'd seen IFCO before with Krefting many times, and they never failed to disappoint.
