ATK!

2011 | Live Electronic Music

Isjtar and Ofer Smilansky collide to launch ATK! [uh-tak]Born out of a desire to expressively perform electronic music, ATK! is a fusion of experimental techniques, improvisation and bold musical content.

The result is an avalanche of sounds carried by rolling percussion and tilted grooves.

Gamila

2008-2010 | Live Electroacoustic

Gamila is:
Michiel Claus (drums, laptop)
Steindor Kristinsson (laptop, vocals)
Ofer Smilansky (laptop, bass, vocals)
Yamila Rios Manzanares (cello, laptop, vocals)
Angelica Vazquez (harp, pedals)

The band exists since 2006. Its members started by creating improvised music, which developed through the years into much more precise and composed pieces. Mainly playing all the five together, the musicians of the band also work in different combinations of smaller groups, and create various artistic pieces and projects involving music, video and performance. Gamila played over the last few years in different venues in The Hague, Rotterdam and Bruxelles and presented its works in various events. Gamila’s unique sounds, harmony and melodies are based on the attention given to the pulse of breath and on the constant interaction between the musicians. The outcome is psychedelic avant-garde dramatic party music!
