[ISEA2004] Artists Statement: Tomaz Sustar & Miha Klemencic (Puna Syndicate) – concert

Artists Statement

Concert

Puna Syndicate – a new project force on the Slovenian experimental electronic scene – are Miha Klemencic (also of Random Logic) and Tomaz Sustar (who, under the moniker Jadviga, released the album Nonim for the rx:tx label). Randomly collecting samples from old vinyl collections and re-defining them within the context of old school funk and hip-hop, Puna Syndicate make a distinctive contribution to the enrichment of what can be understood as ‘instrumental hip-hop’. Their recent live performances include appearances at such festivals as Recountres Sources Ouvertes (Tours / France), Exit (Novi Sad / Serbia), ISEA 2004 in Helsinki, and also appearances as a live act as part of the multimedia performance Signal-Sever! of Projekt Atol at the Futuresonic festival (Manchester / UK), Karlsplatz (Vienna / Austria), La Batie (Geneva / Switzerland) and Nuit Blanche (Paris). Puna Syndicate’s debut album release is scheduled for the beginning of 2005 on the rx:tx label.
