- WITXES is a sonic entity crashing popular music into singular music since 2010. Based around Lyon (Fr), this schizophrenic project finds its way in the balance between improvisation and passionate sound research.Focus is laid on creating abstract yet often tonal pieces, blurring lines between acoustic and electronic sources, playing with various definitions of sound and inviting many musicians to join the recording process. Witxes live performances usually offer a much more physical and hypnotic take on the studio works by building walls of sound then focusing on the cracks and interstices but, depending on spaces and moods, can also deliver a minimalist and sharp sound sculpture. Since its inception, the project has released two albums, Sorcery/Geography (2012 - Humanist Records) and A Fabric of Beliefs (2013 - Denovali Records) as well as a couple EPs. Orients, the third full-length by Witxes will be out June 1 on Consouling Sounds. Witxes has performed on european stages with the likes of Tim Hecker, Anna von Hausswolff, The Haxan Cloak, Christina Vantzou, Bj Nilsen, Chelsea Wolfe, Barn Owl, Julianna Barwick, Duane Pitre, Colin Potter (NurseWithWound), AUN, Julia Kent, Lubomyr Melnyk, Noveller, Dale Cooper Quartet, Shackleton, Colleen, Psychic TV, Aki Onda, Mai Mai Mai, thisquietarmy, etc. in various festivals ranging from techno to jazz, from metal to experimental (Nuits Sonores Lyon, Swingfests London & Essen, Jazz Festival Heidelberg, Time Zones Bari, Ambient Festival Köln, etc.).̸2010 - Scrawls #01 : early works compilation 2012 - Winter Light Burns EP (Feedbackloop Label, Portugal) 2012 - Sorcery/Geography LP (Humanist Records, France) 2013 - A Fabric of Beliefs 2xLP (Denovali Records, Germany) 2014 - Pisces Analogue, split with Dale Cooper Quartet (Denovali Records, Germany) 2018 - Orients LP (Consouling Sounds, Belgium)
