Duistere Bardo

Today, in these bleak first weeks of autumn with temperatures almost touching freezing point, it is time for Het Schimmengebied again from 23:00 to 00:00 CET.

Once again with curious electronic experiments and, if the muses are in tune with us, improvised vocals, all performed live by your eternal host of Het Schimmengebied, Duistere Bardo.

This time you can listen not only via the website of Radio Tonka and 92.0 FM in The Hague, but also via the ZENDCast of the ZEND Media Festival, which takes place this week.

This Saturday Duistere Bardo will play live at the Antilounge 36 release party in The Grey Space in the Middle in The Hague. Duistere Bardo will perform a short live set of 20 minutes from 22:30–22:50, crossing between haunting West Coast house, dystopian electro, and industrial soundscapes, including elements of his new track Onderstroom on the new Antilounge release. If you want to see me live next to a whole selection of other cool underground artists from The Hague – including Kopa 101, Cosmox, Juxtapoison, Elif Soğuksu, OK SJON, Robber & Gizmotron, Black Hawaii, Zeynep Okta, The Reptilians, Reg Desard, Andre Miranda, Foresense, and Alkaloid – be sure to drop by in time!

Phantasms linger in the hidden corners of our minds, while we cherish the desire for escape from the hellish vortex we are collapsing into, failure after failure, attempt after attempt to embrace the light that is fading in front of us. Not sure whether it is dying out, or moving away from us in a free fall into darkness.

Tonight you can embrace the darkness that surrounds you, as the night passes over with a new edition of Het Schimmengebied with Duistere Bardo on Radio Tonka. From 23.00 till 0.00 CET on www.radiotonka.org and through 92.0 FM transmitting in the ethereal realms The Hague.

In less than an hour the next edition of Het Schimmengebied will start on Radio Tonka. Expect industrialized sounds and chaotic rhythms brought to you live by Duistere Bardo, unpredictable as always!

Tune in this Thursday night from 23.00 till 0.00 CET on www.radiotonka.org or 92.0 FM in The Hague to not miss out!
