Eva|3 and Riotmiloo- "What's missing remix for HOLOGRAM_"

14/10/2017

I am so proud to be part of this:
HOLOGRAM_ rescue. digital album. ant-zen dig044
Lyrics of third piece of the puzzle (what's missing remix by eva|3 and riotmiloo):

"What's missing
Where is fulfillment
What's hindering
Your attainment

You've got to have it all
Masquerade of a ball
Collect, accumulate
Speculate, hate

Are you afraid to lose
Your mediocre height
Are you afraid to choose
No end in sight..."

"Following audiotrauma anniversary 2k17 in paris, hologram_'s live gear was stolen from him on the train ride home. this remix sampler ‘rescue’ is dedicated to help replace the missing gear so the cloaked figure can return to the stage. his brothers and sisters in noise joined forces to rescue his gear, now is your chance to support! featuring remixes by sonic area, amnesy, noire antidote, ambassador21, aleph, ecstasphere, meta meat, verin, eva3 and riotmiloo, phasenmensch and s20."

The goal is to collect 800€ before dec 15th to help martin buy new live equipment . All sales (minus fees) after our goal and/or after december 15th, 2k17 will be donated to a foundation to help children.
thank you in advance. ;)

The track we worked on was "third piece of the puzzle." This started me pondering about greed/selfishness versus sharing and collective well-being. What would prevent one from wanting collective well being if not selfish greed? From there, lyrics came easily and the remix became "What's missing." :)

One month later, Infest memories...

It's been more than a month now after Infest Festival. What a great festival! It was my first edition and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Revolting Cocks were amazing headliners and made me dance like there was no tomorrow. I also enjoyed the Juggernauts. And I-Vardensphere were really powerful.

The best of it was the great company, I have met so many lovely people, the crew was top notch and the curry was up to its reputation! And I'd like to thank everyone that came to my show so early on Saturday at 4pm. Despite encountering technical problems, people were quite responsive. I was told we broke Infest. May I point out it is the best compliment ever? What a blast! *grins* Special thanks to Eva|3 and ESA: Electronic Substance Abuse, Jess Hosman photography and Kevin King for sorting out the visuals on stage with us. Infest people and organisers, you rule!!!

Looking forward to Infest 2017...

27/5/2017

Hi everyone, I am over the moon to be part of the Infest 2017 line-up! There are only three months left before it all happens on the 25th-27th of August in the University of Bradford. Among others, there are quite interesting artists on the bill such as Revolting Cocks, Die Krupps, end.user and the Juggernauts. I will be opening the Saturday festivities at 4pm. Don't be late if you want to catch my show. ;)

There have been previews with lovely words about what I do. I just thought I'd share them with you:

Holly Williams from Contact Music wrote:
"French riot girrrl Riotmiloo, best known for her work with Venom Seeds, is expected to shake things up a bit with her intense fem-punk vocals and a sound that fits somewhere between industrial and ambient."

http://www.contactmusic.com/news/infest-2017-preview_5671836

I'd also like to thank Tony Young for mentioning my project in Blackaudio Magazine:

"RIOTMILOO produced an excellent album recently for the ant-zen label; and her infectious stage presence should have pulled her just a bit further up the bill. Opening up on Saturday is a shame, as I fear some people will miss what promises to be an excellent visceral display of conscientious musical protest; and I implore you to get out of bed and not miss this."

It really should be good fun. And I have a few surprises for people who will attend. Stay tuned for more news in the forthcoming weeks...

A bit more about my new track "The Fall"

13/4/2017

Eva|3 and myself composed a brand new track this year. We decided to call it "The Fall" because of the sense of alienation surrounding the world right now. We decided to approach it in a cathartic way to illustrate shock and sensory overload while contrasting it with a more melodic side showing despair but also inviting introspective reflection.

It was released on the Elektroanschlag 2017 compilation. To listen to it, click on the link just below. Enjoy... xxx

The Fall (lyrics)

Solidarity
Respect
Kindness
Love

Our world is collapsing
Our minds crumbling
Brexit
Hate
Trump
Racism
Division
Selfishness
Alienation
Fear

Riotmiloo report –Elektroanschlag 2017 in Altenburg, Germany

8/4/2017

Every year, between the end of March and beginning of April, the Brauerei (brewery) in Altenburg is taken over by a bunch of electronic music enthusiasts. This festival is known as Elektroanschlag.

And what a festival it was! I had heard great words about it but reality was even better. The location was perfect (the Brauerei is actually an historic building), the organisation was impeccable, the line-up was really innovative and interesting, the atmosphere was relaxed and very friendly.

I would like once again to thank Gandy and his fantastic helping crew. Nothing would have been possible without you. Elektroanschlag festival is really one of a kind.

On a more personal level, it was great to catch up with old friends and to meet new ones. Many familiar faces came from France. I got to finally meet with the sweet guys from Mourmansk 150 and managed to exchange a few words with my friends from Audiotrauma. The warm and gracious team running the Ant-Zen merchandising stall welcomed us really well. We shared many gins and laughter together. I did manage to buy a couple of CDs (thank you Mirko, they are awesome as always!)

On the musical side of things, I was gutted I missed the first night but unfortunately, there was no other way. My favourite live act was Esplendor Geometrico. These two never disappoint with their relentless beats and their powerful energy. Anemone Tube also caught me eyes (and ears.) I thoroughly enjoyed listening to his dark ambient poetic soundscapes. I missed Beinhaus because of too much chatting but their performance seemed quite intense, mixing elements of punk with old school banging on scrap metal material.

My performance as Riotmiloo was magical. Last time I played in Germany was with Eva|3 ten years ago. I was slightly apprehensive. How would the audience take this new project? Well, the audience was incredible. The minute we started, I felt them listening attentively, cheering, clapping, reacting passionately to my frantic outbursts as well as my whispers and calmer songs. Lovely people, you carried me through the whole performance. Your support was astonishing. I felt overwhelmed; you melted my heart and will stay in my memory forever. I’d also like to thank Eva|3 for his precious help, Stefan Alt for being a top notch person and photographer and thanks as well to anyone who attended and documented our gig. Many wonderful pictures were taken that night. Find a little selection below… <3

26/2/2017

Hi everyone, I am pleased to announce that I now have my own official YouTube channel. To celebrate, here is a HD live video of Riotmiloo performing live at Ex.Fest 2016, Lyon, in France with Eva|3 .

Apart from that, we had a lot of fun at Noise Corruption meets Ouroboros in London last week-end. What a night! It was great to see old faces and get to meet new ones, my knees are bruised but my head is full of happiness. Thanks to everyone who made it as well as the organisers. I really enjoyed the focus on making the event accessible to all (including people with disabilities.) You are stars.
