Einstürzende Neubauten perform "LAMENT"

The band will be performing their new musical work, LAMENT, on the outbreak of World War I 100 years ago, which will be performed for the first time in Belgium on 8 November 2014.
In this work the band will link their techniques, which are explicitly bound to the traditions of the avant‐garde, with this first global event that shook the entire world.
The Einstürzende Neubauten’s instruments consist of steel, voice, objets trouvés and innovative, cutting‐edge technology, which is expanded here to include a string ensemble. This will not be a concert about World War I, but rather a composition, which crystallizes from the related themes: “erst muss man Platz schaffen, damit etwas Neues entstehen kann” (“First one must make space, so that something new can be created” – Blixa Bargeld).
