Avant Art Festival (AAF) is a Polish trans-disciplinary festival taking place in Wroclaw (Breslau) and Warsaw. Since 2009 AAF presents the widest array of the experimental, electronic and avant-garde music and art. This year, together with arkaoda, Avant Art Festival invites you for one evening also to Berlin.

COUCOU CHLOE (FR) live
French producer/vocalist/DJ COUCOU CHLOE – a resident of both London and NTS Radio – released her debut EP Halo (on Creamcake) only in autumn of 2016, but much has happened since then. With her track “Doom” appearing as part of the soundtrack for Rihanna’s Fenty x Puma show at New York Fashion Week in September 2017, the scene was set for her Erika Jane EP – this time on nascent record label NUXXE, which she co-runs alongside Sega Bodega and Shygirl. With a thoroughly modern sound that has gestated online but lives primarily in the club, her beats range from sensuous and slow hip-hop bangers – complete with her modulated vocal raps – to nervously energetic, four to the floor with a twist. Playfully experimental but always with an ear tuned to pop, Erika Jane was the best realization of COUCOU CHLOE yet... until 2019’s Naughty Dog EP. With sumptuous trap-adjacent production and a no fucks attitude, Naughty Dog is another reflection of COUCOU CHLOE’s blasé charisma.

MORGIANA HZ (PL) live
Morgiana Hz aka Karolina Karnacewicz thinks of music as vibrations and sees sounds as waves of colours. To fully conduct hir hybrid live sets she combines the binaural field recordings, turntables, contact microphones, sensors, accelerometers and crystal scanning with the use of extended vocal techniques and unconventional sounds produced with her vocal cords and larynx. In addition to hir natural synthesizers and performative installations ze experiments with geometrical dance figures. Morgiana’s Hz tracks resonate with the heart of the earth and are based on Pythagorean 436 hz tuning. They focus on energetic programming of intentions, which the artist practices not only in music. Morgiana Hz is a part of SHAPE Platform, and has previously performed at such festivals as Nyege Nyege and CTM.
