In this podcast, A4 talks to experimental music duo 33 (Billy Bultheel & Alexander Iezzi) in relation to their performance at NEXT Festival.
33 is equal-parts brutal and beautiful array of banging hardcore rave, inward-looking chamber music, and artful punk. The fact that composer and performance-maker Bultheel and artist Iezzi come from very different artistic backgrounds contributes to the creative freedom that their collaborative output radiates. Stomping techno fills, blistering samples, and sudden bolts of noise punctuate funereal choral chants, mournful string sections, and melancholic piano notes.
