TAG at VOD Fest 2026 — Friedrichshafen, 18 July
On Saturday 18 July 2026, The Anti Group took to the Inside Stage of the Kulturhaus Caserne in Friedrichshafen, on the shores of Lake Constance, for the Vinyl On Demand Festival 2026. One full hour of live set, from 20:45 to 21:45, at the heart of the festival’s second night.
VOD Fest — three days, 17 to 19 July, curated by Frank Maier of VOD Records — brought together twenty-one artists at Fallenbrunnen who have written the history of European independent electronic music. Alongside TAG, names such as Esplendor Geométrico, Lydia Lunch with Marc Hurtado, and Zos-Kia: a sonic geography that from 1980 to the present day has never stopped working at the margins, and which in Friedrichshafen found itself physically on the same stage.
Rizosfera exclusively manages the ARMComm Europe imprint, the European section of the historic independent label founded by Newton himself. On the Rizosfera online Shop you will find crucial productions and unique materials connected to the collective:
AMMA (2022), The Anti Group’s visionary album in CD A5 Digipak format: astral ambient, African polyrhythms and space-jazz, complete with a booklet of anthropological and scientific research into the mysteries of the cosmology of the Dogon people.
Adi Newton: Second Sight (2026), the book by Italian music critic Paolo Bertoni, co-published by Rizosfera-NUKFM, which brilliantly condenses over forty years of the artist’s career, analysing in detail the history of Clock DVA, The Future and TAGC/The Anti Group.
Meontological Research Recording 3, the third part of TAGC’s historic audio-visual research project, recorded at the Optofonica studios in Amsterdam and documented step by step by Rizosfera.
And on RizoStream, Rizosfera’s independent streaming platform, you can listen to special mixes and avant-garde recordings produced by the collective and its close collaborators, such as Fabio Kubic/Coagulant.
To explore Newton’s counterculture further, the Adi Newton / TAGC / Clock DVA page gathers theoretical essays, interviews and the complete catalogue.
