Artist,Painter ,Sonic & Kinetic Engineer, Konstructor, Konnectionist, Pataphysical Pantheist, Meontological Mycologist & Existential Super-naturalist Traveler. His interests are guided by intuition and arcane occult and futuristic knowledge. “Adi Newton has long since described the process of making music as his research. It represents a more thoughtful and reflective body of work than that which dominates his peer group. In particular, Newton’s grasp of the philosophical connotations of technology placed him apart from the majority of its practitioners.” (NME.COM)
Clock DVA are one of the pre eminent pioneers of late 70’s/80’s experimental music along side and in collaborative association with Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire. As one of the founder members of The Future, which evolved into The Human League, Adi Newton began his life long involvement with sound via painting and through a theatre project which began his involvement with sound. He founded Clock DVA and TAGC/The Anti Group in 1978. Clock DVA’s acclaimed albums include the 1988 album “Buried Dreams” (considered by many as an electronic masterpiece) and the 1980 electro-acoustic album “Thirst” released on the cult label Fetish. Considered by Paul Morley in his NME Album review as one of the Best Debut Albums of the 1980’s, “it sits alongside Joy Divisions “Unknown Pleasures” and The Falls “Dragnet”. Clock DVA continue to present and release new music and perform critically acclaimed audio visual works and performances through out Europe and the USA Newton also Directs TAG/The Anti Group an independent multi-media research & development project active in many related areas. Strictly speaking TAG are not a group, but a variable collection of individuals contributing under invitation and the directorship of Adi Newton. Genre-breaking works include the ambisonic album “Digitaria” 1986 and “Test Tones”, a series of pioneering albums, produced in 1985/6 which have had lasting impact on the development of extreme forms of electronic music. Newton has also been involved in numerous art museum presentations and performances, including the prestigious ARS Electronica Linz, The V & A London and Art Futura Museo Nacional Centro De Arte Reina Sophia Madrid . He has recently returned to painting and intends to explore and develop his multi discipline practice into the art and painting arena with sound and visual installations while still remaining very active within the DVA/TAGC projects. Throughout all these, Newton directs all projects as well as the multi media production company ARMComm/Anterior Research Media Communications in collaboration with Rizosfera and ARMcomm Europe.
Maurizio Martinucci (in arte TeZ) is an Italian musician and interdisciplinary artist, living and working in Amsterdam, who has collaborated with, amongst others, Adi Newton, Scanner, Kim Cascone, Saverio Evangelista, Taylor Deupree, Fabio Orsi, Sonia Cillari, Chris Salter, Honor Harger, Luca Spagnoletti, Joe Drive and Domenico Sciajno. He uses technology as a means to explore perceptual and synesthetic relationships between sound, light and space. TeZ is a veteran of electronic and experimental music and his early releases with M.S.B. and DOSERO date back to the early 90’s. Since 2010 TeZ has been a permanent member of Adi Newton’s seminal British band Clock DVA and a regular contributor with The AntiGroup. His most recent music project PRAGMA marks TeZ’s return to his origins in the fringes of a more visceral Industrial, Ambient and Cosmic music. TeZ’s solo live electronic performances, augmented by Ambisonics spatial sound, are voyages in uncharted sonic territories through field recordings, hypnotic analog sequences and electro-acoustic manipulations. His lastest sonic works with Rizosfera is Clock DVA’s Noesis, released in 2023, in a splendid poly-media guise (box with usb circle card, cd, vinyl, booklet, t shirt). New works by TeZ are appearing shortly: EXT Vol. 1 by Clock DVA (Armcomm Europe) and the surprise debut album by LiTez’s Tout vient de là (NUKFM022).
Clock DVA is one of the best electronic/industrial/post-punk/cyberpunk group of the world.
