UMA
Performance Date & Time: Friday, June 14th – 02:30 p.m.
Electronic music a little more out of the ordinary and more of an art claim than fit for the mass appeal – this is how you could describe UMA’s music. Subtle beats meet multi-layered, psychedelic, densified soundscapes and weirdest noises. UMA presents itself as an attempt to work out the avant-garde aspect in the pop context and make it come to the fore. As far away from usual song structures and big dramatic pop gestures as possible, the two band members create songs of a restrained and understated character that are reminiscent of elaborate sound collages. A gripping mix that captivates the listening ear from the very first moment.
