Rechenzentrum to play Montréal’s Mutek Fest
23 May 2001

Berlin based electronica minimalist Marc Weiser, who along with video artist Lillevaen Pobjoy is known as Rechenzentrum (English: data processing center), released his debut, self titled album last year worldwide on Kitty-Yo/EFA Caroline. The 12-track set of hypnagogic soundscapes follows a series of compilations and EPs released over the past three years, as well as work producing such acts as Tarwater, Laub, and Elektronauten. Weiser also co-organizes Berlin’s annual Club Transmediale international music/ media festival, and sings for his other band Le Hammond Inferno.
Next month Rechenzentrum make their first ever live appearance in North America at the Mutek Festival in Montréal. The second annual festival of new music, sound creation, and technology takes place 30 May through 3 June at the Ex Centris cinema and new media complex. Other artists playing the festival, representing Canada, Brazil, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden, the UK, and the US, include Dandy Jack, Ricardo Villalobos, Julien Roy, Vrac, Rodeo In Reno, Kapotte Muziek, Mitchell Akiyama, Tomas Jirku, Jacob Fairley, Matt & Mark Thibideau, Jeremy P.
