(b)engel formerly known as gemini is a queer DJ and Producer based in Kassel. If they had to describe their DJ style it would be unhinged, high energy mixes ranging from 130 to 190 BPM. However their productions differ: Their first EP VOID* is based on feminist theories about the construction of the monstrous in film and cinema. They focus on storytelling and setting a certain mood for both disciplines, inviting you to dream of haunted landscapes on the dancefloor.
For Range Festival META will perform an electroacoustic live-improvisation. These sessions are at the core of their musical work as a collective and are both musical and non-musical explorations of their shared feelings in the moment and a reflection of the environment. It will usually last from 30 to 45 minutes and move through different phases and moods. It will consist of amplified acoustic instruments, synthesizers, layered vocals and spoken word, soundscapes and found sounds which are weaved together by their shared tonal memory and the trust in each other. Listeners will be able to explore sonic landscapes, lay down or sit back and follow META´s collective dreamscapes.
