Tomorrow Festival, an annual non-mainstream music festival, will be held this week in OCT-LOFT.

    The festival covers various styles of music, including experimental, rock, avant-garde and free jazz, and focuses on the artistic perspective and creativity. Tomorrow refers to a kind of spiritual direction. It implies the longing for new things and more possibilities.

    The third Tomorrow Festival will be staging many excellent artists, including Feldermelder, OvO, Phew, Mamer, Zhang Dong, Li Jianhong, Pandit Narendra Mishra, Kushal Krishna, Wood Pushing Melon, faUSt, KeijiHaino, Brian Turner, Julien Perrin and Oliver Ackermann.

    The biggest headliner band for this year is faUSt, a German krautrock band. Formed in 1971, the band improvised pop music with industrial noise, generated bizarre hypnotic grooves, indulged in shockingly willful studio-based collages, and dabbled with every conceivable musical genre, sometimes simultaneously.

    Their collage of Dadaism, avant-garde rock and free improvisation radically divided opinion from 1970 till now.

    Swiss artist Feldermelder will open the festival with his sound art. He is a Max-Msp addict and a modular synth enthusiast. His influences range from the decomposed structure works of old pioneers of electronic music to more classic jazz, electronic and analog music.

    The diversity of the music that inspires him finds reflection in his own sonic adventures, forming his ever-evolving sound, combining as map and compass to guide his artistic outbursts.

    His psychedelic live acts played on a wide range of analog and controlled digital equipment made him perform all over the world.

    His endless research with other musicians made him become even more obscure, allowing him to play in all kinds of venues and to change the set-up continuously.

    Since 2015, he collaborates on audiovisual installations with different collectives. The collaboration with the visual collective Encor led to a new show for his upcoming album “Erratic,” which he will play at the festival.
