'I don't have an identity beyond music', with Planningtorock, Peaches, Hard Feelings and Colin Self

Planningtorock, Peaches, Hard Feelings and Colin Self discuss bullying themselves into releasing music, and making sounds with their bodies.

Planningtorock, Peaches, Hard Feelings and Colin Self discuss bullying themselves into releasing music, audio as a weapon against apathy, why there's no shelf life on great music, using music-making process as a tool for self-discovery, and making sounds with their bodies.

Jam Rahuoja Rostron, also known as Planningtorock, is a singer-songwriter, producer, composer and director from Bolton, England now based in Tallin, Estonia. They experiment with electronic sounds, digital instruments, and manipulated vocals and sounds.

Musician, producer and performance artist Peaches has spent the past two decades breaking barriers with her work. From Toronto, Canada, she plays with gender role representation, mixed with hard electronic sounds, and shocking live shows.

American artist, composer and choreographer Colin Self, who’s based in New York and Berlin, works across multiple disciplines and practices, using voices, bodies and computers as musical tools interfaced into software.

Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard and singer Amy Douglas, better known as Hard Feelings, create an immersive experience that weaves together new wave, synthpop, and dance. Their debut album has been described as ‘an opera of sad bangers’.
