The US-American activist Chris Korda is one of the most interesting personalities of the global techno scene. As a speaker at the Church of Euthanasia, an officially recognized religious community, she has been criticizing overpopulation and the threat of environmental collapse since the early 1990s, calling for abortions, cannibalism and sodomy and creating absurd slogans like "Safe The Planet, Kill Yourself" - that's also what it was called one of their first big hits. As a gigolo act, Korda, who defines herself as a transgendered person, performed around the Electroclash hype for a few years before taking a fifteen-year hiatus, during which time she wrote software programs for 3D printers. Korda has been musically active again for three years now, two electronic albums on Perlon and two piano albums on Mental Groove testify to her immense talent. Their music is written in complex polymeters, which means that many different, odd time signatures are used at the same time. In combination with the original use of the vocoder, this results in an otherworldly, musical beauty with a radical message: The (Wo)Man Of The Future. Tonight Korda will be playing live at the Panorama Bar as part of the REIF night, with DJs including CRYSTALLMESS, Nkisi, ONIO and SADFORNOREASON.
