✧ Jakob Riis’s sounds from various analogue, digital and acoustic sources unfold in an improvisational exploration of the structures and spatial dimensions of sound, striving to create openings for both physical and mental resonance.

✧ Kris Kuldkepp’s “Curious Currents / A Variation” presents a microsection of the moving currents that compose the audible and for the human ear inaudible sonic space in and around Kintai, Lithuania. Those are transformed into a poetic sonic space, using modular synthesizer and DIY instruments.

✧ Lotte Anker works in the field between improvisation, experimental jazz, and contemporary composed music. Interested in the dynamics between ‘free’ improvisation and compositional practices, with an emphasis on exploring the manifold qualities in sound material, space and temporality.

24.09 @ 18:00

Workshop by Lotte Anker covering improvisation as a practice, its dynamics with composition and ways to explore sound material, texture and structure, noise and silence, interaction, forms of listening, freedom and discipline. Registration required

25.09 @ 19:30

✧ Chi Him Chik’s uses the body of the performer as a medium to present and interpret the idea of presence. Chi Him Chik works across sound, light and spatial media, creating immersive experiences that investigate psychological and perceptual phenomena.

✧ Jan Wegmann’s Krater 2 combines a custom modular synthesizer system with intimate field recordings and visuals. Using a synthesizer case with built-in speakers, it functions as an instrument body, allowing a blend of electronic textures and acoustic resonances.

✧ NNIS has gathered an archive of field recordings and found objects during his time in Asia. Those will be recontextualized through repetition, layering and gradual transformation creating slowly evolving structures that draw on ambient, drone and electroacoustic approaches.
