An evening with solo sets by TSEMBLA and ANDREA BELFI.

Tsembla is the musical work of Swedish artist Marja Johansson based in Turku, Finland. Her music blends concrete sound modifications with acoustic and electronic instrumentation into extraordinary beautiful and haunting music that rides on waves of warped melodies, rhythms and mutating textures.

Andrea Belfi has been playing drums since the age of 14. He studied art in Milan and has been working in experimental music since 2000. In his live set, Belfi faces the audience with an essential drum set, surrounded by synthesizers, a loop station, some contact microphones, an harmonica and two small-size speakers.

Lain (drone/noise) is a solo of nord modular and analog filter

Plaistow (post-jazz) is Johann Bourquenez, piano / Cyril Bondi, drums / Vincent Ruiz, doublebass
Here forms are neglected, there is a will to get out of style and decency, a will to adopt an attitude both offhanded and intense.

Philipp Rahlenbeck (visuals): Visual Piano

The International Nothing
Kai Fagaschinski – Klarinette, Komposition
Michael Thieke – Klarinette, Komposition

Helmut Lachenmann: Salut für Caudwell - für zwei Gitarristen (1977)
