UNIDAD.SAGLAN STUDIO, UNIVERSITÄT DER KÜNSTE, JAZZ INSTITUT BERLIN | THEO ALTMAN’S MEMORIA

In this ensemble, which was created for this evening, songs will be the focus. The influences clearly come from artists like Björk, Xiu Xiu and Thom Yorke. The sound environment will be an electroacoustic one, which will move away from individual virtuosity and towards interwoven ensemble playing. Composition as well as text and improvisation will play a major role within the evening. Through the different characters and influences of the musicians* the compositions will be further developed and shaped in the ensemble.

Instrumentation: TBA
