Taxi Salon: Tot Onyx + Container + bela + Julien Desprez + rosi96

Taxi Salon returns with harsh noise of distorted rhythms and overdriven voices that shatter bodies and buildings.

Tot Onyx (Berlin / Tokyo)

Tot Onyx is the solo alias of Tommi Tokyo, a sound artist and performer who loves to work with metal objects and her body. She is one half of Japanese experimental performance duo, group A.  Her practice is in the rejection of tradition and cliché, which in Greil Marcus’s words, “share the principles of negation, rebellion, destruction and détournement”.

Container (London)

Container is the solo project of American-born, London-based musician Ren Schofield, who since 2009 has been honing a signature sound combining his background in noise-rock and tape music with techno and rhythmic electronics. Characterized by propulsive beats and liberal doses of distortion, Container’s deranged sonic meld has been welcomed at club nights, noise basements, electronic festivals, and punk shows alike.

Julien Desprez (Paris)

Performing solo with only his guitar and affects pedals as instruments themselves, his performance is a true performance that engages all the senses. The body is at the heart of his practice, and one theme still fuels his work today: what to do with bodies and their generated movements through music?

bela (Berlin / Seoul)

Originally from Paju South Korea, bela is a musician and a performance artist based in Berlin. They are known for electronic music performance merging pungmul - a Korean folk act rooted in agricultural traditions and linked to past social movements - and vocals inspired by extreme metal. bela shapes pungmul into the ritual for queer rage and grief with sub-heavy distortions and cries.
