Strikingly dark...
Louise Eksteen
Take a deep breath: this artist is juggling (very successfully, we might add) so many projects that it makes our heads spin!
Louise is the mastermind behind Bride Reunion. This alternative electro outfit (Louise and Lara Eksteen – no relation) just performed with Black Bird and MTKidu at the Go-Go bar in Jozi. The video for the track: “Kamikaze” (which will also feature rap artist Black Birdon) will be showcased as an interactive artwork as part of an exhibition called “Negotiating Fidelity” in 2009. This exhibition is described as “an interdisciplinary exhibition of sound and visual artworks by emerging artists”.
This past year Louise was featured on Channel GO as guest DJ, where she performed a few live tracks. Two of her tracks were also included on the latest Sick-Leaves album: Stone The Crow. This multi-talented musician is a freelance sound designer and composer, and is currently working on a film score for director Leza Mcleod’s brainchild: the short film: “Apology”. Louise also stars in this film.
Apart from all of these exciting happenings, Louise spent the last two months recording and producing her new album. The final release date for her latest offering is not scheduled yet, but in the meantime go feast on Clandestine Carnivore and Squeel Like A Pig, both from the Cameo Lash album. Both of these tracks are dark, but beautifully crafted and provide a skin-tingling listening experience.
