CommeCi, CommeCa special BPitch Control @ .HBC



More about... We Love

we love are giorgia angiuli, (a.k.a metùo), music performer, collector of fragrances and piero fragola (a.k.a. werk design), graphic designer and videoartist. the project started on a cold winter sunday in 2009.

on returning from their holidays, they randomly met young music producer and remixer marco palazzo (a.k.a. keith) in a railway station; a collaborative project with him soon began, resulting in their first and homonymous album on bpitch control. it is again in a railway station that they created their first composition “escape destination”, followed by another 9, all connected to one another by the unifying theme of visions and travel (“when the window of a train takes you somewhere.” - we love.)

the band’s acoustic and electronic instruments charm with their bichromatic, black and white allure: a vintage heart-shaped guitar, a contemporary design self-made midi controller (which was sponsored by italian i&s furniture and fashion design company), a drum machine, and two keyboards, complementing piero and giorgia’s voices. their objective is to explore the relationships between various forms of aesthetic expression, such as sound, visual art, fashion and design.

we love are not “just another electro band”: their consistent collaboration with professional artists (amongst whom are david campanini, diana ferri, jamaica de marco and elliott james shaw) has produced original performance pieces. the band’s bichromatic video art provides the backdrop for the amazing pair of “soldiers of love”’s live sets, which are embellished by romantic and evocative contemporary style clothes and masks. art visuals caress the stage set with luminous random movements, as in a stream of consciousness gushing out of everyday life. actions rapidly take place one after the other, and one often feels overwhelmed by countless fleeting external stimuli as blank sheets of paper vanishing into nothingness.

in an innermost dimension of vision, there is always something which prevents us from being transparent: love.

More about... Aerea Negrot

Aérea Negrot is a complex and colourful artistic soul who has found her distinctive voice in the expression of music. The word Aerea itself is an adjective relating to sky and air, things that travel by airmail, suitcases, airlines, winged being. The act of Singing for Aérea evolved out of a survival mechanism while in the streets of Amsterdam; a result of being put out, paradoxically, by a flight attendant lover.
Aérea was born in La Guaira on the Venezuelan coast, a city with the most important airport in Venezuela. As a child, her Grandfather would take her to the airport every Sunday to watch the planes take flight.
Aérea’s nomadic roots have brought her to Berlin, where she now resides. In the production of her music Aerea continues in her search to find self.In addition to music, this performance includes multimedia material created by the artist Rafael Scovino, who creates most videos for Aérea.
Since 2008, Aérea Negrot forms part of the band Hercules and Love Affair, for their new CD, which will be launched at the beginning of 2010. At the same time, Aerea Negrot..s track “All I wanna do” will be released by the record Label Bpitch Control.

Dance Disorder's Bpitch debut "zusammen" is a 10-minute marvel of epic breath, and yet remains admirably unpretentious, falling neatly into the mould of the best minimal-ethereal techno classics of the early 90s. the vocals are contributed by berlin ostgut resident dj boris.
