ALTER aims to present new impulses, genres, and directions, while also exploring artistic roots and history. They work to promote a range of expressions - sound art, experimental sound, and electronic dance music - expressions that they believe naturally complement each other. Artistic expressions that encompass both exciting and complex themes, but can also be experienced without necessarily having in-depth prior knowledge.
ALTER is proud to present this year's program. A potpourri of various artistic expressions and genres - majestic drone, Nordic folk singing, Celtic myth, medieval grimoires, modern pop music, Arabic texts on freedom and revolution, innovative R'n'B, and a kind of fusion of boogie rock and doom.

AUNTY RAYZOR
Aunty Rayzor's sound is piercing and chaotic with a character of absolute control. It roars in your face and then flirts with you from across the room, swiveling its hips and stomping its feet. Rayzor's musical roots were innocently planted when she began singing in church as a child and started writing her own songs at the age of nine. But after a long and brutal education in Nigeria's underground rap scene, Rayzor's flow has become provocative in multiple ways. Her teeth tear through producers' beats, chewing them up and spitting them out as a twisted sonic wonder. Her hooks sink deep into your skin, and her rhythms are relentlessly danceable. As one of Nigeria's most ruthless emerging artists, Rayzor contributes to a growing movement that redefines what it means to be punk.
