Group Onde (Belgium)Noise ONDE will be: Greg Jacobs (B): violin, electronics, strings Marc Wroblewski (B): strings, metal Timo Van Luijk (B): guitar, tape feedback Marcelo Aguirre (ARG): drums, percussion, voice ONDE was founded in October 2006. The core members of ONDE, (Timo Van Luijk, Marc Wroblewski and Greg Jacobs) are all former participants of now defunct Noise-Maker’s Fifes. Timo Van Luijk took an active part in various musical projects: Asra with Raymond Dijkstra, In camera with Christoph Heemann, with Kris Vanderstraeten, No Neck Blues Band and Noise-Maker’s Fifes. Besides that he has played with Mirror and produced several solo releases as Af Ursin. Greg Jacobs and Marc Wroblewski cooperated with Noise-Makers Fifes for years. During 20 years of its lifetime Noise-Maker’s Fifes – often labelled as an isolationist band - gained a strong reputation of a live band. With the death of founding member Geert Feytons Noise-Maker’s Fifes was buried and ONDE created. Marcelo Aguirre recently joined ONDE. Marcelo is a self-taught percussionist and vocalist. He plays music in a highly distinctive manner manifesting a wide spectrum of influences ranging from spacious, delicate pulsation, to bursts of pure tone colour into free music or charged noise, with a focus on continuous sound and changing dynamics. He worked with such artists as Michael John Fink, John Duncan, Z’EV and Ulrich Krieger. Whereas Noise-Maker’s Fifes often experimented with multi media, ONDE is a pure musicians collective, were improvisation takes a central role. ONDE could be labelled as a “free musicians' collective”, where the musicians can play whatever they want, whenever they want. Although no rules, conventions or limits are imposed, the music ONDE produces could be clearly labelled as experimental, and ranging from psychedelic to drone music, sometimes even minimal, with regular outbursts of pure noise. As with all improvisational music, the direction of the music is guided by the energy of the moment itself and is, therefore, by definition unpredictable. ONDE uses acoustic (sometimes prepared) as well as electronic and self-made instruments. The release of their first album is scheduled for September 2007.

We've been working at the distance by mail, as a genuine group, keeping mail-art traditions of the 80-s CISFINITUM CISFINITUM CISFINTIUM is an ambiently noisy project of composer Eugene Voronovski experimenting within ten years in troubled waters of dark-ambient and noise. Cold boundless landscapes of ruined worlds, Abyss of the human consciousness, divine unconsciousness and the rest of Russian metalanguage came true in this doomsday music. Sound extraction mode is chosen in advance. In the course of experiment, welcomed are: Soviet analogous synthesizers, digital noise, prepared electric violin, chimes, and all possible religious and ideological doctrines. The number of C.'s cd- and vinyl-releases is impressive, including ambient-n-noise with awesome Rapoon, remixes on New Blockaders è Maeror Tri. All-European press was really chopped out by some of its fulfillments. In 2005 Cisfinitum deserved benediction for solo-service in the Bremen Cathedral by the happy thought of the Reiher Electronischer Musiek festival.
