GTA Soundsystem: Lunchmeat Festival 2021
Out of all the Prague-based acts on this year's Lunchmeat Festival lineup, GTA Soundsystem might have the least online presence, but, quite contradictingly, the trio is a collection of some of the city's most well-known local artists: Oliver Torr, David Herzig (aka Lotus Wash), and Aid Kid.
GTA Soundsystem is the live performance alias of these three musicians together, each bringing a distinct and creative approach to audio and sound design to the almost entirely improvised shows. Eschewing genre and regimented musical patterns for the kind of free-flowing creativity that is only achievable through deep understanding of their machines and a camaraderie that comes from a real friendship.
Ahead of the world premiere of their audio visual performance with object-based light design and atmospherics from visual artist Marek Šilpoch at Lunchmeat on Friday, Oliver Torr has selected some tracks into a Buy Music Club playlist for Inverted Audio, taking us on a trip from personally inspiring artists also performing at the festival (notably from the Hyperdub label showcase) through to more experimental picks from Slikback and Richard Youngs.
