Description
CTM Festival presents the psychedelic futurisms of Orchestra of Spheres and High Wolf. Drawing inspiration from the experimental and abstract expressionist spirit of the early 20th century European Dadaism movement, these artists craft colorful, cerebral, and hypnotic sound collages, amalgamating Eastern musical idioms and eclectic percussive structures in wholly unique and occasionally ecstatic configurations. Part mescaline trip, part mystical experience, Orchestra of Spheres and High Wolf perform alongside Berlin DJs Falko Teichmann and Mobiletti Giradischi November 7 at Urban Spree.
Orchestra of Spheres
The members of New Zealand quartet Orchestra of Spheres are distinguishable for both their musical idiosyncrasy and deliriously chromatic costuming. The band’s second full-length LP, Vibration Animal Sex Brain Music (Fire Records, 2012), is a surrealist expedition through a hyper-primal, fuzzed-out, synth-laden Garden of Eden, produced while on tour in Italy with vintage recording gear and featuring DIY instrumentation ranging from the sexomouse marimba to the electric gamelan.

High Wolf
French globe-tourist High Wolf has hand-rolled his way up Mount Fuji, trainspotted every corner of Europe, hitchiked across America and Australia, chugged Ganges water, and crouched on all manner of smoke-stained prayer rugs since first looping a bongo back in ’09. His most recent LP, Kairos:Chronos (Not Not Fun Records, 2013), sounds out its own unique mythology, with humid heatspells of hand-percussion, coiling snakecharmer fuzz-guitar stacked six deep, sunlit synth textures, dubby bass-lines thumping through grass amps, and ceremonial voodoo chanting.
