MUSIC? The one thing humans do,

Οι Νightshift (Θοδωρής Ζιούτος και as11) αποτελούν πλεον εναν αστικό μύθο στα ηλεκτρονικά μουσικά δρώμενα της πόλης παίζοντας "παλιό καλό λαϊκό noise" . Δημιουργούν ζωντανά επί σκηνής μουσικά ηχοτοπία χρησιμοποιώντας ηλεκτρονικούς υπολογιστές και εικονικά ή μη όργανα. Η μουσική τους μπορεί να χαρακτηριστεί ηλεκτρονική, στηρίζεται στις τεχνοτροπίες των live electronics της concrete music και είναι επηρεασμένη από την αισθητική της ambient και του μινιμαλισμού. Οι Nightshift δημιουργήθηκαν τον Σεπτέμβριο του 2004, έχουν συμμετάσχει σε φεστιβάλ στην Ελλάδα (Electrograph, Synch, 2:13, Βαβέλ), ζωντανές εμφανίσεις (Μικρό Μουσικό Θέατρο, KnotArts) έχουν κυκλοφορήσει δύο δίσκους »1904ΕP» (Δεκέμβριος 2004 – phase records) και »Nightshift» (Ιανουάριος 2005 – antifrost) και έχουν επενδύσει ηχητικά πολιτιστικά δρώμενα
