After their second gig at Club Culture last year, the musical collective Delicate Decibel returns with a much bigger event held over four consecutive nights at four different venues. They start this week with a collection of postrock outfits at Cosmic Cafe (Oct 5, 8pm, B250 with 1 drink) before continuing to the Motorcycle Emptiness Bar the next day (Oct 6, 7pm, B250 with 1 drink) See the full line up at facebook.com/delicate.decibel. Here, organizer and front man of electronic outfit Space360, Auttaratt “Benz” Photongnoppakun, talks about the concert series.

Tell us about the event?
The aim of Delicate Decibel is to showcase new, experimental bands, as last year, but I also wanted to add more variety for the audience. Last year I, as Space360, and Kijjaz joined the Fete de la WSK 2010 in Manila, Philippines, It takes place over 15 days in 15 venues and is dedicated to experimental sonic art and a diverse range of artistic activities in the context of digital culture in South East Asia. . I wanted our event to be exciting like that; people who come to the event truly come to appreciate the art of music. So, I came up with this idea to make it a big event, with four days and four venues where the themes are slightly different on each day.

How will the events play out?
The opening day will be held at Cosmic Café with live electronic, post-rock, experimental and drum n’ bass—and DJ sets [upstairs] in the Fish room. This is the first time I have a chance to work with Electrobacillus who will join us doing live visuals. The theme for the next day at Motorcycle Emptiness Bar is similar to the first, but with different acts. We return the third day to Fish Room [at Cosmic Café] with dubstep, drum n’ bass, techno and live electronic. We use live visuals as a tool to communicate with the audience. On the last day, at Nospace, it will be more like a music workshop that is also open for teenagers who want to experience and get started with music.

Some of the bands are playing for the first time with Delicate Decibels. Any rising stars to look out for?
Actually they’re all great in their own way. Jin always develops himself every time I see him live. Noah’s Tape is always shy on stage but their electro acoustic tunes are so catchy, they could get an impressive reaction from the audience. This is our second time working with Animal Machine, who play live electronic and could be defined as drum n’ bass, and they put on a very good show before. As for The GAD, they play a more experimental style but with instrumentals that are easy to get for new audiences.

How do you think the audience will react?
There are lot of music styles out there that might not fit the mainstream but are also good. There are a lot of bands that work really hard to make their albums. They should be supported, otherwise they might disappear from the scene. Even our neighbor, Vietnam, has an experimental music festival, Hanoi Sound Stuff, which I joined last year. They can have over 3,000 people attending so why can’t Thailand have a phenomenon like that?
