Broken Music Vol. 2_Live   Friday, May 5, 2023, 8:30pm   Mieko Suzuki & Claudia Rohrmoser Broken Vinyl – audiovisual performance For their audiovisual performance Broken Vinyl, visual artist Claudia Rohrmoser and sound artist Mieko Suzuki take vinyl as their common ground in order to explore the reciprocal influences of sound and image. For her sounds, Mieko Suzuki utilizes broken, or prepared records, turntables, effects pedals, and various props. Always aiming for unexpected sonic moments, she creates dynamic, slowly evolving, bass-driven sound textures rooted in both advanced electronic music and the noise scene. Claudia Rohrmoser transforms images of Mieko’s “taped” records and vinyl fragments into a lucid visual universe. She explores the characteristics of the…

Broken Music Vol. 2_Live Thursday, April 5, 2023, 8:30pm   Raed Yassin Phantom Orchestra – solo performance with 12 turntables and 42 records Phantom Orchestra by Lebanese artist and musician Raed Yassin is a collective project that captures and archives a particular musical moment in recent history: the sounds of experimental improvisers created in isolation during the coronavirus pandemic.

The recordings were then pressed as one-of-a-kind vinyl LPs (dubplates). This record archive shapes the pool of improvisational “phantom” solos, which Yassin…

Since 2008, he has been sonically documenting and archiving the pulsing African megametropolis of Lagos. With artistic virtuosity, Ogboh shapes the field recordings from various places in the city into a kind of auditory topography, which allows an image of the city to emerge in the mind of the listener. In his Lagos Soundscapes project, the city comes to life as…

Charlemagne Palestine, Jessica Ekomane

Broken Music Vol. 2_Live   Saturday, April 22, 2023, 8:30pm   Jessica Ekomane Multivocal – quadraphonic live performance Jessica Ekomane is a French-born, Berlin-based live electronic musician and sound artist. Her practice unfolds through live performances and installations. Ekomane creates situations in which sound becomes a transformative element between space and audience. Her quadraphonic performances, characterized by their strong physical affect, seek a cathartic effect via the interplay among psychoacoustics, the perception of rhythmic structures, and the oscillation between melody and noise. Her ever-changing and immersive sonic landscapes are based on questions such as the relationship between individual perception and collective dynamics, or the exploration of listening expectations and their social roots. In her quadraphonic…

Relevante Musik

19 – 21 July 2013 Villa Elisabeth, St. Elisabeth-Kirche and events in public space Festival of political media art, performance and music In recent years, discussion in the field of contemporary music has been dominated by the question of how to promote it. Dealing with the music itself has seemed secondary to the “goal [of] strengthening the presence of new music in cultural life, so as to increase public awareness and reach a new audience” (New Music Network). With the festival Relevante Musik, we kick the ball back to the artists and ask about the social and political relevance of their works.

Since the early ’90s, classical and pop music have also become part of his reference systems.

From the beginning, music and sound have played a central role in his works, which frequently are based merely on instructions for minimal interventions. The music pieces that he writes for the band “owada”, which he co-founded in 1994, are also reduced to elementary song structures. “Situated somewhere between Steve Reich and the…

The musicians seized the opportunity and the trio was born. Berlin’s resident electronics artist zeitblom reconnects to his avant-rock roots and temporarily exchanges his laptop for a bass guitar. Alex Hacke, whose career began with the founding of Einstürzende Neubauten, discovered his love for American folk and country music while the Neubauten were becoming an international hit, and developed a reputation as an outstanding singer. Percussionist Rudi Moser also bumped into the Neubauten at some point….

She worked with John Cage and the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, among others, realized numerous sound installations and, in recent years, has increasingly been incorporating multimedia elements into her work. In many pieces, she experiments with especially high tones, which elicit in listeners an effect that she describes as “Third Ear Music”.

She did not, however, follow her mentor into the pastures of “musique concrète”, but turned rather to synthesizers as sound sources and went her own way. Her electronic sounds, usually generated on Arp or Moog synthesizers and recorded on tape, have a hypnotic power and are uncompromisingly minimalistic, even ascetic. They change almost imperceptibly and create a continuous flow in which the music seems to be moving around the listener. It could be…

A primordial form of the “canto a tenores” has been preserved in northeastern Sardinia for centuries, one as vital and direct as the untamed nature of the island.
