MONOMONO is the musical veil for two determined female makers: Hester Min Eén and Anne van de Star.

MONOMONO ist der musikalische Schleier für zwei entschlossene weibliche Künstlerinnen : Hester Min Eén und Anne van de Star.

WEEKENDER - Monomono (Live)

Hypatia is the second single off MONOMONO/IIIOIIOIIIOIIO’s upcoming album ‘Daughter of Data’. The name and pulse on the track is inspired by the 3rd century philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician Hypatia of Alexandria. Known as a symbol of knowledge and independent thought, Hypatia was a figure whose presence challenged power.

Hypatia's name, deconstructed, becomes the very foundation of the track: fragmented syllables morph into rhythm and melody, forming a structure that feels both ancient and algorithmic. Her erasure feels eerily familiar in an age of digital overload and selective memory.

With this track, MONOMONO doesn’t just reference Hypatia - they use her as a carrier wave. Hypatia is a sonic inscription, driven by pulse and repetition, echoing her role as a gatekeeper of knowledge, a system disrupted too soon.

Pandemonia - Plasticity

Jouska is the hypothetical conversation, that you compulsively play out in your head.
Jouska is the crisp analysis and the cathartic dialogue that you engage in with your own self.
Jouska is your psychological batting cage where you can connect more deeply with people than in the small ball of everyday life.

A major thank you goes to all the artists involved for their kind gifts, the city of Brussels for their kind support and everyone else who makes this project possible.

C12 is a multidisciplinary nightclub and platform run by the Deep in House collective, located in the heart of Brussels. It's a safe place where freedom, diversity, creativity and alternative culture are protected from the restrictive and normative outside world. The project was launched in February 2018 and includes concerts, art installations, lives, club nights and exhibitions.

The Corona crisis is keeping our doors closed and dancefloor empty for several weeks now, with no hopes yet on new line-ups and crowds of enthusiastic dancers. But this unprecedented situation isn’t holding us still. Continuing to support our local Brussels and Belgian electronic music scene, C12 is proud to announce its own label with 10 music compilations dubbed Social Distancing. All artists involved are Belgian or strongly connected to the Brussels scene. Confirmed are Le Motel, Stellar OM Source, A.Brehme, Front De Cadeaux, Davy, OCB Casa Voyager, Cabasa, Techno Thriller, Orphan Swords, Different Fountains, Bear Bones Lay Low, Gols, Hadone, ... and our residents Session 4000, Kafim & Chris Ferreira. Compilations will also be curated by female artists promoting platform ‘Psst Mlle’ and queer culture collective ‘Benediction’.

Each edition consists of a collection of several tracks and will be released every two weeks, leading to a total of approximately fifty tracks. All music will be available to add on your favorite streaming service Soundcloud, Youtube, Spotify (coming soon) and Bandcamp. In addition for each track we offer a limited amount of 500 free downloads through our Bandcamp page, where donations are also enabled for those who wish to support us and the artists involved.

Premiere: Monomono - Jeanne [Teorema]

MONOMONO/IIIOIIOIIIOIO crafts immersive sonic worlds where electro-acoustic textures, classical elements, and techno converge. The duo — violinist and sound designer Hester-1, and musician, composer, and visual artist Anne van de Star — blends raw, synthetic sound art with hypnotic rhythms, poetic fragments, and dark, pulsating walls of sound.

Their work moves fluidly between electronic composition, multimedia installations, and commissions for film, theatre, and video games. They have been artists in residence at TRIX (Antwerp, Belgium), Gold Records Studio (Copenhagen, Denmark), and Tiyatro İkincikat (Istanbul, Turkey). They recently performed at techno club Hall during Tallinn Music Week and at Playtime Festival in Bruges Royal Municipal Theatre
