This years editions comes with a special focus on audiovisual performances. 10 artists extendend their live-sets with high quality video material featuring sets by Holly Herndon - "the queen of tech-topia" (The Guardian), the master of disintegrated loops William Basinski, Istanbul's blissed-out space traveler and RBMA academy participant Ah! Kosmos, French producer Mondkopf and his doom laden electronic beats, Blanck Mass - the electronic solo project of Fuck Buttons’ Benjamin John Power, the British futuristic pioneers of dubstep and noise-based sound design Emptyset and Thomas Köner with his new multimedia performance "Expanding Illuminance" amongst others. Though mainly conceived as a label festival, we have invited further guest artsist like drone legend and Sunn O))) founder Stephen O'Malley, Austrians Elektro Guzzi with their instrument-based approach to cathartic club rhythms and Noveller - the solo electric guitar project of Brooklyn-based composer and filmmaker Sarah Lipstate, who supported St. Vincent on her 2014 tour.
Not limited to one musical genre, the Denovali Festival offers a diverse range of music styles from darker experimental sounds, ambient, drone, indie and electronica to darkjazz, jazz or piano and string driven modern compositions presenting artists from our roster with New York City's industrial noise composer Oneirogen, Hidden Orchestra with a special remix set, Brighton-based pianist/ violinist Poppy Ackroyd kown for her unconventional approach to neoclassical music, Munich's pianist and composer Carlos Cipa who's music is fraught with beauty, tension and emotional intensity, Greek electronic music composer Subheim or Orson Hentschel from Düsseldorf with a live-set that has been a blast with its powerful light show and live-drumming on this years label anniversary tour.
The festival again takes place on 4 days (October 1st until October 4th 2014) at the wonderful industrial venue WeststadtHalle. This year's edition will present 21 acts on the three regular days and a pre-event with 2 artists on Thursday October 1st.

In 1900, the surgeons and nurses at the Knickerbocker Hospital in New York push the bounds of medicine in a time of extremely high mortality rates and zero antibiotics. Among them is Doctor John Thackery, a celebrated and courageous surgeon pioneering new methods in the field despite his secret cocaine dependency.
Director: Steven Soderbergh
Writers: Jack Amiel, Michael Begler, Steven Katz
Starring: Clive Owen, Andre Holland, Juliet Rylance, Michael Angarano, Cara Seymour, Eric Johnson
Vandaag de dag verrichten chirurgen dagelijks wonderen, maar het operatiekwartier is in de verste verte niet te vergelijken met de situatie in de operatiezalen begin 20e eeuw. In The Knick, een splinternieuwe prestigieuze reeks van HBO, maken we in die periode kennis met dr. John Thackery, een arts die met onorthodoxe maar evenzeer revolutionaire methodes de grootste medische knopen probeert te ontwarren. Steven Soderbergh regisseert en Clive Owen levert als Thackery een fenomenale acteerprestatie af, waarvoor hij genomineerd werd voor een Golden Globe.
Het eerste seizoen van The Knick is vanaf 16 september beschikbaar op Blu-ray™ en DVD.
SYNOPSIS
In deze nieuwe dramaserie van regisseur Steven Soderbergh zoekt een briljante chirurg genaamd John Thackery (gespeeld door Oscar®-nominee Clive Owen) de grenzen op van de geneeskunde, van de moraal en van rassenverhoudingen in het jaar 1900. Een ziekenhuis in de binnenstad van New York genaamd The Knick (afkorting van The Knickerbocker Hospital) komt in de problemen door het vertrek van geldschieters, steeds meer arme patiënten en door financieel mismanagement.
Eén van de overgebleven helden in het ziekenhuis is Thackery, die zijn best doet om medische raadsels op te lossen terwijl hij een cocaïneverslaving ontwikkelt. Tegen zijn zin in moet hij gaan samenwerken met de jonge dokter Algernon Edwards (André Holland), die Thackery naar de kroon lijkt te gaan steken.
