SOISONG (PETER CHRISTOPHERSON & IVAN PAVLOV)
// Date: June 5, 2010, 22:30 // Venue: HAU 2 // Tickets: 15/10 € (concessions) // Reservations: http://www.hebbel-am-ufer.de/de/reservierung.php?HAU=2   SoiSong is the beautiful new project by Peter Christopherson (Coil, Throbbing Gristle) and Ivan Pavlov (COH) founded in March 2008. Usually a two-man show that combines Ivan's uncompromisingly-visceral computer based music with Christophersons decadent, dark and whimsical approach to artificial vocals, „South Seas" instrumentation and conceptual visuals, the first ever show of SoiSong in Berlin will unfortunately have to be performed by Ivan Pavlov solo, as Peter Christopherson will not be able to join due to health problems. Instead he will send a video message addressing his Berlin fans.   SoiSong combines the power and energy of Youth and the Russian Scientific Establishment with the filth, decay and corruption of English Maturity. SoiSong has been brewing for months in the gloomy Soi's, or alley-ways, of Bangkok where Christopherson now lives, the world's most uninhibited Capitol city, where unlocked i-phones, hi-speed broadband, young brown flesh, and indeed Life itself, all come cheap. Where the voices heard in the dark, across the heaving shanty towns, creaking over running sewers, mingle the agonised cries of teenagers losing their virginity, with Revered Monks' dying Invocations. > www.soisong.com > www.myspace.com/soisong The SoiSong concert is part of the 3day program Life is live – Musik, Diskurs, Performance Folge #2: Höre mit Schmerzen!
