Artist information:

Peter Rehberg (a.k.a. PITA)

PITA is the pseudonym of Editions Mego founder Peter Rehberg. The London native, since decades residing in Vienna, began his career 20 years ago when the aesthetic possibilites of so-called Laptop music were just about to be discovered. PITA started working with computers since then and is internationally perceived as one of the pioneers of synthetic music. His musical background is to be found in Noise, Ambient and Techno, as well as early electroacoustics. PITA ushers now the next phase of his sonic experimentation, returning as a solo act after almost ten years of silence. His approach to music hasn’t changed much though – it’s the ongoing search of a radical maniac that is driving us to the shores of experimental electronics, maybe best to be described as visceral synthesis, fshing in the ambient depths of techno. He is fusing distorted electricity with abstract beat patterns and glitches to some form of extreme computer music, exploring the outskirts of frequency range and pays attention to a sonic momentum. Even though he took a break as a solo musician, Rehberg never stopped his sonic exploration. Over the last years he was focussing on his collaborative work, as in Fenn’O’Berg (w/ Jim O’Rourke and Christian Fennesz), KTL (w/ Sunn O)))s Stephen O’Malley), R/S (w/ Marcus Schmickler), or his latest project Shampoo Boy (w/ Christina Nemec and Christian Schachinger). These musical collaborations are completed by his longtime cooperation with the French theatre director Giséle Vienne, whose opulent pieces are accompanied by Rehberg’s compositions. PITA has produced over a dozen albums, covering an astonishing variety of experimental electronic styles, LPs like the Get Out / Get Down / Get Of trilogy have received broad international critical acclaim and were released on such labels as Mego, Touch, Häpna etc. He played various international festivals, like SONAR, All Tomorrows Parties, CTM Berlin, MUTEK and Donaufestival. As head of the infuential Editions Mego family of labels, he has released albums by internationally renowned artists like Fennesz, Kevin Drumm, Emeralds, Florian Hecker, Bernard Parmegiani, Russell Haswell, KTL, Akos Rozmann, Donato Dozzy, Bill Orcutt, Mark Fell and many more. “One of the most perceptive and mercurial sound artists at work today.” (Nick Cain, The Wire) “One of the most interesting improvising musicians.” (David Toop, Haunted Weather)

Chris SSG

Chris SSG is best known as the co-founder of the now defunct MNML SSGS blog, recognized as a leading source of critical insight on electronic music. In recent years, he has moved from the online world into the Tokyo techno scene. He is the organizer of a series of MNML SSGS events, and is a resident at the semi-regular Sound Garden chill out parties. As a DJ, Chris SSG eschews standard dancefloor music, instead focusing on a range of sounds from ambient, experimental, kosmische through to more abstract forms of techno. He has DJ’d at many major Tokyo clubs, including Unit, Air, Dommune, Galaxy, and SuperDeluxe, as well as at the FREEDOMMUNE and Rural festivals. His podcast for the New York based ‘Mysteries of the Deep’ series was included in Clubbing Spain’s top 10 mixes of 2014, and his podcast for Rob Booth’s ‘Electronic Exploration’ series was included in That Special Record’s ‘best of 2015’. Chris SSG commenced 2016 by playing in the Elektroakustischer Salon as part of Berghain’s Silvester party.
