Oiseaux Tempete is an experimental postrock band with psychedelic and ethnic influences hailing from Paris. With their latest album Al An! they collaborated with musicians from Beirut and created an instant underground classic full of oriental sounds and experimentation.
In OISEAUX-TEMPÊTE ([wazo-tɑ̃.pɛːt] – Storm Petrel), Frédéric D. Oberland and Stéphane Pigneul have chosen a name, a call from the sea, of almost totemic quality. First, perhaps, it offers the suggestion of journeys over great distance, the distant hymns of fortune-tellers and gravity defying acts of the oracles. Yet at the same time, comes the idea of earthly chaos, a willing reference to the telluric frenzy that darkens the sky yet also, paradoxically, brings promise of a radiant tomorrow.

Bear Bones, Lay Low is the musical project of the Brussels based Venezuelan musician Ernesto Gonzalez. For the last ten years Gonzales has been making diverse music in which experiment, unexpected layers, ecstasy and ritual come together. Through the combination of electronic and acoustic sounds an unknown world of dystropical nature unfolds. Repetitive kosmische and experimental sounds build up to trance-like heights. Ernesto’s oeuvre spans over more than 50 different releases. Also he is part of many different collaborative groups like Yader and TAV Exotic.
