L.E.V. 09 – The third edition of the Visual Electronics Laboratory :: May 1-2, 2009 :: Laboral City of the Culture, Laboral University, Gijon, Spain.

L.E.V. (Laboratorio de Electronica Visual | Visual Electronics Laboratory), is the space in which electronic music and visual and performing arts join as a way of artistic expression aiming at introducing the audience to a selection of the most interesting local and international creators – the new talent as well as established artists.

Aphex Twin returns to Spain after many years without coming over to our country and he’s doing it to show us his latest laptop performance in L.E.V. 09. Considered as one of the most important and influential personalities in electronic music, having been surrounded by numerous legends, with thorough precision in his control of old synths and creation of new sounds and gifted with one of the most restless and creative minds in the music scene, today Aphex Twin is still creating landmarks in the boundaries of the approved music rules.

L.E.V.’s third editions programme will hold other extremely interesting works such as Moderate’s (Modeselektor + Apparat s joint project with the visual artists Pfadfinderei) audio-visual live set, who after releasing a long-waited for album in March on Bptich Control, will offer a select series of sets on special occasions. L.E.V. will also hold Peter Greenaway’s Tulse Luper Vj Performance or live sets by Isolie, Nathan Fake, Alva Noto and Byetone. This edition will also have the Portuguese choreographer Rui Horta’s latest work together with the band Micro Audio Waves, live sets by Daedelus, AGF, Kelpe or Kettel, Loss-Layers performance, a creation by Fabrice Planquette and A.lter S.essio or Black out by Joco Samues, as well as Electric Girl, the new project by Apostolia Papadamaki from Greece with live music by Blaine Reininger (from Tuxedomoon).

The Laboratorio de Electrsnica Visual (Visual Electronics Laboratory) will share its activities between five amazing spaces: Laboral’s Theatre, LABoral Art and Industrial Creation Center, the Church and Asturias Drama Art School.
