A twisted record full of paradoxes

Like a phoenix rising from its ashes, Die Anarchistische Abentunterhaltung returns again and again. This time, too, the Antwerp quartet reinvented itself, the creative fire stoked a bit more by visionary artist and musician Rudy Trouvé.

Together they present Musik für Animierten Tonspurfilm, released in October '23 by the Brussels label SubRosa.

It will be a record full of paradoxes. Groggy and polished at the same time. A screwed-up lofi backing track with hi-fi improvisations, retro meets the future. The DJ has already gone home but the party on planet DAAU is far from over. Because the movie keeps running and there is still improvisation to be done. No one knows where that will end. Come see that!

Musik für Animierten Tonspurfilm

DAAU, anno 2023 still a foursome, dove into the rehearsal loft and blindly followed orders from the aforementioned artist. Only drums, accordion, clarinet, double bass and two dilapidated tape recorders were allowed. Friends came over. Recordings were made. Exactly what happened to the tapes is a mystery, but what we know for sure is that Mr. Trouvé was found in a hangar in Antwerp North several months later.

An intriguing sound collage was all that remained. The backbone for the record was there, and in a dark December month the gentlemen continued to work on the compositions, with animations by R.T. for inspiration, played on giant cardboard boxes. Curious about the result?

The original quartet's heavily acclaimed 1996 debut album "die Anarchistische Abendunterhaltung" will be released on vinyl for the first time this year.

This record will be available from the end of August.

The new album with Rudy Trouvé, 'Musik für Animierten Tonspurfilm' will be released at the end of September.

Both records will be for sale at the concerts, but you can pre-order both albums through the band's bandcamp page.
