Awakening from our summer snooze with ominous soundscapes, layman poetry and, in the hay of it all, revelations: unreal sonic mysteries come out to play in this first collaboration between KRAAK and In vitro. Conjuring these sublime visions and surrealist confessions will be Pat Klassen’s Barn Sour with his haunted bestial glossolalia, Duncan Harrison with his disarming sound poetics, and Tzu Ni using static variations unleashed in time—sensory criss-crossing with a side of probable disquiet await!

Ｂａｒｎ Ｓｏｕｒ
Three years after his dismaying horse-headed appearance at Kraak Festival 2022, Winnipegian artist and sound creeper Pat Klassen aka Barn Sour makes an improbable return after a short-lived retirement. As the name suggests, Barn Sour is bound to the confines of its own stable—evoking resistance, agitation, and even dangerous actions like rearing or spinning, all notions that feel familiar when listening to Pat’s sound collages, which create a sense of unease while walking the borderline between the crazy and the beautiful. Pairing the melancholy with the grotesque all the way to his equine coffin, we're in for a welcome resurrection and a one-off chance to see the Sour whinny back into the brooding arena.

Ｄｕｎｃａｎ Ｈａｒｒｉｓｏｎ
Screechy gurgled repetitions of tape warble and mess, Duncan Harrison's sliced up slop has been the stuff of local legend and was last spotted kraaking around sometime in the BRAUBLFF era. Based in Brighton and a comrade of revered South England weirdo noisers Dylan Nyoukis, Karen Constance and the extended Chocolate Monk fam, Harrison uses tape loop, synth hums, poetic waxings and other snapshots of the present and the banal to create abstracted realities of deliberate confusion and incidental hilarity. His latest release, Cultural Customers, is a collaborative cross-stitched release with Canada's Shadow Pattern, adding another layer to the translandic connections of the evening.

Ｔｚｕ Ｎｉ
Hailing from Taiwan and currently operating out of the Netherlands, Tzu Ni explores the sonic and poetic potentials emanating from/co-relating to bodies and their techno-biological systems. Through field recordings and spatial strategies, physical diagrams are laid out for hypnotic sensory tightrope walking where uncanny man-made resonances intermingle with the organic stuff in endless variations that ring and roll through the earspace. For this eve of noisery and havoc, she will tame the airs with an installation-performance based on weather variations, where breathwork and gestural actions unfold through transducers and feedback loops, unpredictably altering spatial perception.
