IN FOCUS: ROY MONTGOMERY

New Zealand guitarist Roy Montgomery's music was once described by NPR journalist Lars Gotrich as "swimming through phantoms" – it may sound like an overwrought analogy at first, but simply spend half an hour enveloped in Montgomery's tones, and you'll understand. Originally a part of Pin Group in the 1980s, releasing Joy Division-indebted post-punk on the revered Wellington label Flying Nun records, Montgomery eventually unmoored himself from the strictures of verse-chorus-verse songwriting, and other musicians entirely, composing drifting, gauzy guitar instrumentals that channeled his own personal grief and loneliness into a seductively baleful magic.

Touch and Feel w/ Brian Vidal

Brian Vidal brings a mixing pot of house, garage and skippy breaks directly from NTS' Los Angeles studio.

Experimental Ambient

SHAPE+, previously known as SHAPE, is a European platform for innovative music and art. It is artist-oriented, and, every year, it creates a selection of exceptional emerging talent via open call and curatorial voting, to then foster their careers with performance invitations, collaborative residencies, commissions, seminars and networking events. SHAPE+ consists of 18 non-profit venues and festivals, including Unsound, CTM, Construction and Intonal, and is co-funded by the European Union, and, as of middle of 2024, also Pro Helvetia.
