SchnAAk Rundu Choir / Nick Millevoi & Dead Neanderthals
SCHNAAK AND THE RUNDU CHOIR ist der Electro-Abkömmling des deutschen Rabatz-Duos SchnAAk (Mathias Jähnig / Johannes Döpping). Die EP “No Security through Numbers” ist ihr erster Ertrag.
In den fünf Kompositionen geht es um Minimal-Bewegungen, fragmentierte Melodien und ein anderes Verständnis von Harmonie. Das Klangbild wird aus analogen Synthesizern, präparierten Gitarren, wuchtigem analogem Drumming, Lofi-Samples und billigen Plugins erzeugt und live (!) gespielt.
Im Jahr 2012 hatte Mathias Jähnig, der neben Konzept auch alles Visuelle bei SchnAAk beisteuert, die Gelegenheit ein Jahr lang unter dem !Kung-Volk in Namibia und Angola zu leben – eine einschneidende Erfahrung zweifelsohne.
“No Security through Numbers” nimmt sich der Herausforderung an, einen komplett anderen Lebensentwurf zu verstehen und befasst sich mit dem Prozess, sich selbst zu erlauben, dem “Fremden” Stück für Stück anzunähern.

NICK MILLEVOI
Nick Millevoi is a Philadelphia-based guitarist who explores and expands upon the sound of the electric guitar through frequent use of non-traditional tunings, feedback, and raw noise. On his most recent solo-guitar release, In White Sky (Flenser Records), Millevoi combines his 6- and 12-string electric guitars with drones and extreme volume to create a startling new work. Nick is a member of the noise-rock-free jazz trio Many Arms, whose self-titled fourth album was released in 2012 by John Zorn’s Tzadik label. Nick also has an ongoing collaboration with bassist/guitarist Edward Ricart whose first LP will be released in 2013 on Gaffer Records, and makes one half of the duo Archer Spade with trombonist Dan Blacksberg.
Nick has toured extensively as a solo guitarist as well as with Many Arms, Make A Rising, Electric Simcha, and Archer Spade. With Dan Blacksberg, the duo curate the Archer Spade Performance Series, a monthly concert series that has brought musicians from all over the globe to perform in Philadelphia. Nick has collaborated with many great artists, including Gene Coleman, Toshimaru Nakamura, Keir Neuringer, Thomas Buckner, Ken Ueno, Ches Smith, Travis LaPlante, Weasel Walter, Kevin Shea, Joe Lally, and many others. Millevoi is also a member of the bands Deveykus (Tzadik) and Electric Simcha, and is a former member of Make A Rising.
The Village Voice has called Nick a “guitar-wielding, audience-massacring hero,” and music journal Burning Ambulance has described him as, “A fierce player who knows his way around a riff and can tie himself, and the listener, in knots with his contorted, passionate soloing.” Foxy Digitalis called In White Sky, “a searing collection of exploded guitar compositions.” Millevoi’s music has been reviewed by SPIN, NPR Music, The Onion AV Club, Wire magazine, and many others.
