Banff meets Berlin: Artists demonstrate "the lost cool of modern women"
Banff satirist Myra Davies and Berlin electronica Queen Gudrun Gut are getting together at The Banff Centre to mix sound, lights, projections, music, and wild poetic imagery in a transfixing collage of wit and fantasy. Together, they comprise MIASMA, a group whose music Berlin’s TIP Magazine has said evokes "The blue flower of romanticism and the lost cool of modern women in a bizarre yet soft corset of industrial Tech sound."
Often compared by European critics to Laurie Anderson and Patti Smith, yet always with a caveat that these two really aren’t quite like anybody else, this duo is at home on the German club circuit. Their two CDs, both recorded at The Banff Centre, have been released in Europe. MIASMA will be performing at The Banff Centre’s The Club on Thursday, October 26. Doors open at 8 p.m.
Well-known in Germany, Gut was a founding member of the Berlin Industrial noise band, "Einstürzende Neubauten," and the leader of "Malaria," a successful all-woman ’80s alternative band. In the ’90s, Gut was at the forefront of the new German Techno movement. Today, she has a packed agenda. She leads and produces "The Ocean Club," a mixed media/music project, runs her own record company, "Moabeat Musik, Berlin," DJs in The Love Parade, and is co-host/producer of a Friday night program on Radio One Berlin, online in real audio, at http://www.radioeins.de/sendungen/ocean_club_radio/ Gut Web site: http://www.m-enterprise.deTickets for the MIASMA performance are
