Rully has developed Xhabarabot Voice Machines (XVM) as a series of web-based interfaces as a practice-based research project investigating post-AI music culture. Initially conceived as a personal exploration of his own voice data, the project has evolved into an interactive platform for live performance which range from sequencers to ones that respond to audio or visual inputs and deliberately reject conventional digital instrument logics in favor of improvisational, intuitive, and non-linear interaction.

MoAW presents Tzii & Hilal Can ft. Ruben Tenenbaum + Nicolas Van Belle + Das Letzte Gold Verfallener Sterne

Address – NASHAZ , Rue Picard 3, 1000 Bruxelles
Doors – 7 00 pm
Tickets – €12 pre-sales; €15 OTD

Ticket 🖇️ in bio

Tzii & Hilal Can ft. Ruben Tenenbaum - Folk / Experimental / Hardcore

Fragments of ghosts, shattered memories, impossible romance—Hayalet Kırıkları drifts between dream and dissociation. Hilal Can’s incandescent voice rises from within these fogged recollections, a vessel of intimacy and rupture, while Tzii sculpts vast soundscapes that feel both tender and unrelenting. The result is an album that feels like a diary written in smoke—half-remembered, half-invented, always shimmering on the edge of reality

Nicolas Van Belle - Folklore / Noise / Cinematic

Nicolas Van Belle is a Belgian guitarist and composer working between improvisation, experimental music and noise. He combines acoustic instruments, analogue equipment, spoken word and electronics into layered performances that move between texture, intensity and stillness. Rooted in free improvisation, his work draws from free jazz, noise and folkloric influences, always shaped by the moment and the interaction with sound and space.

Das Letzte Gold Verfallener Sterne - DarkFolk / Hurdy-Gurdy / Drone

In Eastern European tradition, the hurdy-gurdy was an instrument of wandering singers who preserved oral culture, and das letzte gold verfallener sterne continues this tradition. The band consists of hurdy-gurdies and accordions, creating a sound that draws the listener into a trance-like, mystical state, like being surrounded by the scent of incense. Faceless and nameless, they move across Europe, approaching music as a form of memory, journey, and inner experience

Ticket 🖇️ in bio

Asifeh - Hip-Hop/Arabic/Electronic

Asifeh (also known as Stormtrap) is a producer/rapper based between Vienna and Ramallah.

He is co-founder of the former Ramallah Underground collective, who laid the foundations for a booming underground music scene in Palestine, active during the years 2003 - 2009

Maya Al Khaldi presents Boka’yat relived – Folklore / Voice / Mourning

Boka'yat reLived is a live performance of a work-in-progress by Maya al Khaldi, where she sings Morning Songs, a dying Palestinian tradition. Maya composes melodies for otherwise unknown songs found in books and archives, in order to mourn the loss of the past few years and experiments by attempting to attach an imagination to a future of a tradition that was once essential in the process of mourning and grief in Palestine.

Sergei Demin – Speech synthesis / Drone / Sound design

Sergei Demin is a Siberian-born, Netherlands-based (Gelderland) multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of sound design, technology and experimental music. He focuses on the 'weirdness' of synthetic voices and the 'un-human' quality of modern communication. In his current practices he's mixing human history and machine future by bringing a medieval instrument Hurdy-Gurdy and 'uncanny valley' voices of text-to-speech engines together.

Islamabad Discipline is the project of Pakistani-French musician and educator Ambroise Yon, a kaleidoscopic exploration of his cultural heritage filtered through a collage of field recordings, guitar mantras, and experiments in traditional forms influenced through his studies with the late Ustad Mohammad Ajmal Khan.

His album Complex Zero Point Faizabad is simultaneously focused and startlingly eclectic. If there is any comparison to be made, it is to the long night of the dreamer - the arcane procession of faces, sounds, impressions, and memories one cannot quite place or verify.

Islamabad Discipline go live at 22 30
