On the occasion of Ken Ueno’s return to Berlin, Audrey Chen, Nicola Hein and Viola Yip will join Ueno to present an evening of improvised music with voice and electronics of various kinds. All of them share a performing practice of foregrounding simultaneous intensities and subtleties out of their complex construction of sounds

In this project, Ensemble Extrakte embarks on a special musical journey of exploration along a narrative by Rabindranath Tagore. Following the content of a poem by Tagore, the ensemble from Berlin symbolically steers towards imaginary islands and follows sea routes on the oceans, which represent musical networks of relationships, in this exchange of instruments and playing approaches, in order to get to know the alternative, the unknown, sounds, rhythms and moods. 

Phase to Phase, Electronics and Synthesizers, Open Ensemble and composition based on field recordings of anti-war protest in St. Petersburg, March 2022

Blurring the line between composed and improvised playing, the Böseblick Ensemble’s music combines elements of melody and noise with fluidity and grace, articulating a reflection on contemporary issues of cultural appropriation, homeland and togetherness, and creating soundscapes beyond established traditions.
