Noise artist and instrument builder Martin Schäufler and his Harsh Noise project MS IDENTITÄTSPROBLEM provides the musical support for AXILIAD. In his two performances he’s (ab)using a variety of home made fuzz-pedals as pulse-generators, trying to blur the boarders between conscious and the subconscious, between experimental music and torture, aiming to push the listener beyond his physical limits.

(Axiliad is the graduation project of Artur Poterski)
