Puce Mary repla­ces Ka Baird, who has can­cel­led her upco­ming tour due to per­so­nal reasons.

Epic wall of sound and rip­ping noi­se from Danish com­po­ser Puce Mary, alongsi­de ensem­ble-in-resi­dent Razen bra­ving the Beguinage Church’s 17^th-cen­tu­ry organ.

Belgian ensem­ble Razen explo­res the no man’s land bet­ween dro­ne, folk music, psy­che­de­li­ca and old music. With half for­got­ten instru­ments such as the shawm or the gur­dy, they cre­a­te long impro­vi­sa­ti­ons ran­ging from bare­ly audi­ble to demo­nic ecs­ta­sy. They pre­fer older tunings, allo­wing for a bet­ter hea­ring of over­to­nes and acous­tic inter­fe­ren­ces. Razen came in resi­d­en­cy in the beau­ti­ful Beguinage Church last year and expe­ri­men­ted with the monu­men­tal church organ, as well as the acous­tics of the buil­ding. These recor­dings resul­ted in the upco­ming album Postcards From Hereafter to be relea­sed in September by Important Records.

Puce Mary is the solo moni­ker of expe­ri­men­tal musi­cian and sound artist Frederikke Hoffmeier. Oft-iden­ti­fied with the now-gene­ra­ti­on of indu­stri­al noi­se — Puce Mary has a reputa­ti­on for inten­se live per­for­man­ces that span from grip­ping ren­di­ti­ons of cine­ma­tic com­po­si­ti­ons to the full-on fury of off-the-cuff harsh noi­se. With count­less relea­ses (most recent­ly on the mul­ti-dis­ci­pli­na­ry label PAN), per­for­man­ces and col­la­bo­ra­ti­ons with artists such as Kali Malone, Drew McDowall, Varg2TM and Loke Rahbek, Puce Mary has rea­ched wide acclaim for her powerful and uni­que blend of modern expe­ri­men­tal elec­tro­nic and noi­se music.
