Counterflows

Counterflows is a new series of festivals exploring international networks of underground music. This first festival takes place across London, Berlin and Glasgow from 6th-15th April. Produced by OTOProjects in Berlin and London and AC Projects in Glasgow the festival was made possible with support from Sound and Music, The British Council, Creative Scotland, The PRS for Music Foundation and The Goethe Institut.

 

2012's programme:

KIM DOO SOO + CARLA BOZULICH/OKKYUNG LEE + GUESTS
Friday 13 April '12

MICHAEL HURLEY
JOSEPHINE FOSTER
Saturday 14 April '12

DECOY & JOE MCPHEE
Sunday 15 April '12

A weekend of 'OTO' at ausland in Berlin... with a first time appearance from Korean acid folk singer Kim Doo Soo, American hobo songsmith Michael Hurley and the incomparable voice of Josephine Foster before an explosive closure to the festival with two sets from Decoy and special guest Joe McPhee charting an unpredictable path between passages of tonal exploration, shimmering beauty and rampaging high energy motorik. Having only ever played at OTO before - It's a pleasure to bring them to Berlin so they can work their magic there.

Concerts start at 10PM, doors open at 9PM
Prices : 12€/night or 30€/3daypass

KIM DOO SOO + CARLA BOZULICH/OKKYUNG LEE + GUESTS

Kim Doo Soo is the deepest and most introspective of Korea's acid folk singers with songs telling tales of political oppression, alcoholism, suicide, and a ten-year period of mountain seclusion. First coming to the attention of the west via Damon & Naomi's Internation Sad Hits compilation, Kim Doo Soo has been active since the 80s.

Carla Bozulich's Bloody Claws with Okkyung Lee and other guests. A new project by Carla Bozulich specially for Counterflows.

Singer, songwriter, artist, folk hobo Michael Hurley aka Doc Snock is a true American iconoclast and one of that country's songwriting greats.

A rare piano based set from OTO favourite Josephine Foster whose vocal style, according to David Keenan "...combines a facility for expressive extremes comparable to Patty Waters with the precise comportment of folk singers like Karen Dalton and Shirley Collins"

Prices : 12€/night or 30€/3daypass
