Descartes a Kant is a group originally from Guadalajara, Mexico[1] that fuses various musical influences along with disciplines such as theater, dance and film. Currently made up of Sandrushka Petrova, Ana Cristina Moreno, Memo Ibarra and Leonardo Padua, Descartes a Kant is characterized by all musical genres[2] and its performative presentations.
History
editFounded by composer Sandrushka Petrova as a teenager in the early 2000s, Descartes a Kant formed in Guadalajara, Mexico originally as an all-female band, playing at parties on the local scene. They adopted the name from a philosophy book that contains a chapter titled "From Descartes to Kant" whose opposing philosophical works framed the beginning of the modern era, seeking to make analogy to the contrasts in musical style characteristic of the group in the beginning. In its early stages, his style was self-defined as a "bipolar-schizoid sound" by alternating sweet and melodic tonalities with dissonances and strident noises.[3] Their work includes influences from noise rock, punk, surf, electronic music, new wave, and jazz. Their live performances are usually theatrical performances, and the group members usually wear specific outfits for this.[4]
After spending a few years in the local underground and several changes in its lineup, Descartes a Kant released its first album, titled Paper Dolls (2007)[5][1], with the independent Mexican label Discos Intolerancia.
In 2010 Frankie and Charlovsky left the project, and Jorge Chavez (Clondementto, Pito Pérez), Ana Cristina Moreno (Go Go Frenesí) and Memo Ibarra (Hong Kong Blood Opera) joined.
Their second album Il Visore Lunatique (2012)[6][1] is a psychological-musical thriller. The album, inspired by madness and mental pathologies, aroused the attention of international media and people such as Mike Patton and Dave Lombardo[7] towards the group. This album took them to international stages for the first time, with tours throughout Russia, South America, Europe, Central America and the United States, sharing stages with artists such as The Melvins and Slayer.
Victims Of Love Propaganda (2017)[8][1] is the band's third studio album and first album released by a North American label, recorded in Chicago by engineer Steve Albini. It is a concept album. This album was presented live as a 3-act concert (Teatro de la Ciudad in CDMX and Teatro Diana in Guadalajara) in which they developed a multi-disciplinary essay on the concept of love Western and propaganda about happiness. This album takes them to perform in Mexico, Europe, the United States and South America, opening for artists such as Bauhaus, Cibo Matto and Dead Cross on their tour, and performing at festivals such as Roskilde[9], Iceland Airwaves[10], Youth Brigade, Ruido Fest, Rock al Parque, and Cervantino.
In April 2022, the group announced the departure of Dafne, Andro and Jorge, and in December of the same year they made their first presentation as a quartet. In May 2023 they announced the integration of Leo Padua (Los Viejos, Annapura) as drummer, as well as a machine called "The DAK", also considered a new member of the group.
