Bit​-​Tonic vs. CHi2 - #2​.​6

from Female of the Species Volume 2 by Law & Auder

/

about

BitTonic is the project name of German born Iris Garrelfs. Now based in London, she is known for her emotive, improvised glitch-tech performances based around electronically manipulated and digitally warped voice sounds.

Although generally a solo performer, Iris frequently collaborate with other soundartists including the likes of Robert Lippok, Rococo Rot, Kaffe Matthews Si-cut.db and CHi2.

Iris is also the co-organiser of Sprawl Imprint, the London based club/label championing electronic and digital musical explorations. Since 1996 Sprawl has brought together uncompromising artists from the UK and abroad for live sound events.


CHi2 are British-born violinists/composers Liz Chi Yen & Sarah Chi Shang Liew. Together they produce a dynamic fusion of Chinese and electric violins and electronics they perform their inimitable Eastern-tinged contemporary electro-acoustic style to stunning effect.

CHi2 dish up a charismatic blend of East meets West rhythms and melodies. Their music is a melting pot of style and influences and improvisations with a plethora of weird noises and the odd sprinkling of live effects, coupled with keyboard wizardry and angelic vocals. Their music is harsh and pulsating one minute and lyrical and beautiful the next, interspersed with textural fragments and snippets of musical conversation, as they communicate in their sisterly language. Combined with specially commissioned visuals, they present a visual and aural feast when they perform live.

Their solid technical and improvisational abilities has made them an in-demand session duo, and they have toured with Moby ('18' and 'Play' world tours), pop sensation Anastacia (Europe/ UK), electronic duo Lamb (Europe/UK) and have played/recorded with diverse artists such as Boy George, The Orb/KLF project, Nelly Furtado, Goldfrapp, Barry Adamson, Cyndi Lauper, Uriah Heep to name a few. Liz an Sarah have worked with a range of diverse and talented artists and musicians."
