Urbsounds collective is formed by friends who besides the other things share the joy from the experiments with sound with the use of various digital technologies. They grew up on D.I.Y. punk and they don`t like (not only) music narrow-mindeness. Even they aspire on no manifesto, they state their music is highly „political“. There was a Daniel Kordik project Exurbia at the beginning (1999), characteristic by collages of the sounds from audio tapes (copy&paste method) and playing of these „sequences“ with the use of guitar efects. In 2001 formations Exurbia (Jamka today), Urbanfailure and Urbanox (RBNX today) joined and created a collective called Urbsounds. The first event took place at AFAD and since then the members either alone or in different fussions (and always live) played the clubs, galleries and festivals in Slovakia (Muliplace, Next), in Czech Republic (Alternativa), Austria and Germany (Germoney tour).
Dialectics between the signs of rhythms and arrythmical playing and stoping. Music which cracks and falls appart and again it finds the new connections. „To have it more anarchistic and maybe even more dadaistic. Sharp and rough sound.
That`s why new and positive determination: Free Digital?“ (www.urbsounds.sk)
