With their new album “In Comfort,” New York music legend Lydia Lunch and Marseille-based experimental electronic musician Philippe Petit have created a surprisingly intimate duet. The EP, produced and released by the Viennese record label comfortzone, will see its first live presentation in Austria as part of MAK NITE.

For over 30 years now, Lydia Lunch has been a figure of tireless activity in the international music scene. This production represents her second collaboration with Philippe Petit, who himself has spent over 25 years working in the worldwide underground scene and is particularly interested in the soundtrack format as an artistic medium in his compositions.

On “In Comfort,” Lunch and Petit depart from the dark “psycho-ambient” sound they explored on “Twist of Fate,” their first EP together. Their new record features orchestral strings supported by a backdrop of avant-garde noise comprised of collected recorded sounds, all of which makes for a dense and dramatic listening experience. Acoustic instrumentation combines with digital sound filters to summon up the “psycho-film-noir”-atmosphere so typical of Lydia Lunch’s works.

Following the concert, the evening will continue with a DJ set by Christina “Chra” Nemec (comfortzone).
