nospectacle welcomes collaborator Markus Guentner to Detroit for Movement for a live audio-visual happening, 2-4 p.m. at Hart Plaza’s Underground Stage. Guentner is best known for his contributions to Kompakt’s Pop Ambient series and for his tech-house productions on the Ware label. Guentner played a solo DJ set at Movement in 2006 and performed live with nospectacle in Ann Arbor in 2009. nospectacle is a Detroit-based ambient electronics project made up of Christopher McNamara, Jennifer A. Paull and Walter Wasacz. Performances feature live audio and video mixing and remixing, elements of improvisation, grounded by dubby sub-bass vibrations. nospectacle last played at Detroit’s Movement Festival in 2008 and performed at Mutek in Montreal in 2010 as part of Nocturne 5: Soul Control, the closing party of the festival. The event included Moritz von Oswald Trio and Detroit’s Theo Parrish. The group has curated events at Cranbrook Art Museum that included a performance by Berlin-based Klimek at a showcase event for the Andy Warhol: Grand Slam exhibition (2008). nospectacle played with Hyperdub’s Kode9 at the Crofoot Ballroom the same year. McNamara is a lecturer in film and electronic media at the University of Michigan and has installed multi-media works in Europe and North America. He is a founding member of the Canadian-American sight-sound collective Thinkbox. Paull has a background in electronic arts, photography and live band performance on bass and trombone; Wasacz is a critic, writer and editor. His column on underground dance music, the Subterraneans, has appeared in Detroit’s Metro Times since 2004, and he is a staff writer for XLR8R magazine in San Francisco. nospectacle is launching its own boutique label of limited vinyl editions in 2011. A transoceanic collaboration between Guentner, who lives Regensburg, Germany, and McNamara will appear on nospectacle 001.
