Day 2 of the Dead Mind Festival, continuing the festival’s focus on experimental sound, noise and underground collaboration. The evening includes a second performance by noise legend Kazumoto Endo and two unique collaborative projects.
Day one of the Dead Mind Festival will be held Saturday 10th of October at the Willem Twee Toonzaal, The Bosch with performances by Rudolf Eb.er, Wanderwelle, Kazomoto Endo, BJ Nilsen, The Haters, Orphan Fairytale, Haare, Beequeen, Ernst Bonis & Asch.
Kazumoto Endo is a Japanese noise musician known for his intense, dynamic approach to harsh noise and electronic sound manipulation. Emerging in the mid-90s under the legendary Killer Bug moniker, he quickly became part of the Japanese noise elite.
Endo is best known for highly compressed, rapidly shifting sonic assaults built from distortion, feedback and fragmented electronic signals, often delivered with abrupt structural changes and a raw, improvisational feel. He started releasing records under his own name in 1997 and the 1999 While You Were Out album stands as a perfectly crafted modern classic of Japanese harsh noise, helping establish his reputation internationally within the extreme music community.
Violent Shogun is a French experimental noise musician known for dense, abrasive soundscapes that blend industrial textures, tape manipulation, broken sounds and musique concrète. Emerging from the underground noise scene in the late 2010s, the project has released a series of limited albums through various independent labels like Satatuhatta. These releases explore themes like decay, isolation, violence and social collapse through restrained sonic intensity. Violent Shogun collaborated with underground noise artists like HÖH from Finland and is known for a unique approach to sound art.
Corpse Magnetism is a collaborative project between Rudolf Eb.er (Switzerland, currently residing in Japan) and Johnny van de Koolwijk (Netherlands). Rooted in ritualistic sound practices and primitive outsider aesthetics, the duo creates immersive sonic environments built from organic drones, handmade instruments, decayed textures, primitive percussion and improvised field recordings. Rudolf Eb.er aka Runzelstirn & Gurgelstøck is widely known for founding the radical outsider art project Schimpfluch-Gruppe in 1987, as well as being involved in numerous projects over the last few decades, exploring trance states, body art and shamanistic expression. He has worked together with noise legends like Masonna, Joke Lanz and for this occasion will perform with Van de Koolwijk, who has been active in the Dutch experimental underground under the alias ZRTX, focusing on raw ambient structures, lo-fi tape loops and sound collages.
Musica Divina is a collaborative noise and sound art project formed by Haare (Finland) and Vincent Dalles (Belgium). Rooted in long-form improvisation and environmental texture, the duo creates immersive sonic landscapes built from dense organic drones, metal scraping and concrete sound manipulation. Drawing inspiration from the organic minimalism and material-focused approach of artists like Jeph Jerman, Musica Divina explores the physicality of sound through slow-moving, tactile compositions that blur the boundaries between noise, industrial ambience and electro-acoustic experimentation. With an LP coming out on Dead Mind and Bent Window we are honoured to welcome them for a first ever live performance.
Awenydd initially operated as a private, studio-based outlet for raw sound experiments, but the project gradually developed into a more defined artistic identity through a small series of self-released, limited cassette editions, circulating within the noise network. Drawing from dark ambient and various noise traditions, Awenydd creates tightly controlled, immersive compositions built from layered drones, metallic resonance and shifting sonic textures. Inspired by the physical properties of sound, Awenydd’s work balances harsh textures, introspective atmospheres, subconscious landscapes and shifting states of mind. The project gained attention for its consistency of vision a commitment to raw, unmediated sound practice.
