A performance of ECHOHCE was the opening of DEAF04.
ECHOHCE is the unique opening act for DEAF04 by David Link, Jamie Lidell
and FM Einheit, with interactions between man and machine. Jamie Lidell
sings lyrics written only a few seconds before by David Link's Poetry
Machine, a computer which generates a stream of word associations. Jamie
Lidell is famous for his spectacular performances. His album Muddlin
Gear (Warp Records) was critically acclaimed as 'without question a
musical language of the future'. Drummer FM Einheit originates from the
German punk scene and has been the "chief machinery operator" for German
industrial terrorists Einstürzende Neubauten.
