rimov/Rimov is the musical brainchild of artists Simon Joostens and Robbe De Pestel exploring different genres ranging from leftfield hip hop and avant-folk to guitar music, DIY-synth-stuff and sound design. The group tries to reflect its wide musical interest into an ever-changing live set. Joostens takes care of the instrumentals, combining an education in classical composition with the idea of reverse learning (read: unlearning every instrument he's been taught how to play). De Pestel is an unschooled vocalist and writer mostly drawing from postmodernist literature and early eighties post-punk and synth-wave music. This makes for an odd performance, the two youngins trying to find the right balance between musical intricacy and bedroom production style sloppiness. Expect nothing. Expect anything. Do as you wish.
