Speedy J presents STOOR Live
On the first day of spring, STOOR Live returns to Paradiso for another fully improvised hardware jam. Once again Speedy J and his team will be accompanied by a remarkable selection of artists who continue to push the boundaries of sonic and visual exploration.
After previous appearances as Out of Place Artefacts alongside Rødhåd in Paradiso and a celebrated STOOR performance at Kappa FuturFestival in Torino last summer .VRIL returns for a third session on the STOOR Live stage. This time, he will be joined by Wata Igarashi, the esteemed Japanese composer and sound designer with whom he recently launched another collaborative live project called Phantom Circuits. Alongside them will be Erika, who’s been at the forefront of Detroit techno since the late '90s, known both as half of Ectomorph and as a solo artist whose deep mastery of analog synthesis continues to inspire. Completing the quintet are Function, founding member of the legendary Sandwell District collective, and of course Speedy J himself. These longtime collaborators were among the very first producers to work together in the STOOR lab many years ago, before the project was ever introduced to the world. Their reunion on stage marks a full-circle moment for STOOR.
The performance will unfold amidst Karl Klomp’s signature monolithic stage design, which transforms Paradiso into a striking audiovisual arena that embodies STOOR’s vision of raw experimentation and immersive live creation.
