Iyashikei Slow Waltz & Deepfake Gabber are Current Resonance coinages which point towards two genres representing contrasting aesthetic trends we identified in 2020. At Current Resonance Festival 2021 we presented the first edition of ISWvsDFG, showcasing a programme oscillating between quiet and contemplative works, as well as those that are erratic and glitchy. It also featured the two winning pieces selected from our Call for Works, initiated to seek out responses to these invented genres. The call yielded many diverse submissions, encapsulating various aspects of the respective genres.

ISWvsDFG 2: FINAL SEASON features back to back programmes. The works showcased in the original ISWvsDFG programme that we premiered at Super, Aarhus in 2021 are followed by a sequel programme primarily dedicated to showcasing these runners-up from the call.
