Gabber Modus Operandi
Gabber Modus Operandi use samples and take inspiration from gabber, footwork, noise, grindcore, and uniquely Indonesian sounds such as jathilan (a trance dance in which an animal spirit possesses the body), dangdut koplo, funkfot (popular music) and Gamelan-based folk to arrive at something completely “new” sounding.
During this talk we’ll discuss the role of identity, experiment and tradition in GMO’s work and artistic practice. What can we learn from them, and how can we use GMO’s line of thought when thinking of our own futures?
This talk will be pre-recorded and streamed due to time zone differences.
