their latest albums on Trost: https://trostrecords.bandcamp.com/album/accelerated-frames-of-reference

and Opal Tapes / Ventil Records: https://opaltapes.com/album/jitter


The trio lean inward, bestial and chaotic, Chen's primitive huffing and reptilian bubble blowing lending each track a human disorder which spars perfectly with the pugilistic pops of Koenig's digital kicks and Desprez desert of atomic guitar scree. The 25 tracks of JITTER are a condensation of EAI's performative history, with all silence ejected. Space and time is filled with their hyper kinetic approach leaving little respite for any listener. It's as repulsive as it is fascinating. As exhausting as it genuinely would be to live a 24 hour life, be that blue bottle or snare skin. - about Jitter/MOPCUT 2021 Opal Tapes

VOICE STORIES with Audrey Chen / Markus Suihkonen at STAATSOPER HANNOVER

In this discussion format with music, which takes place live again after a few digital episodes , singers from our opera ensemble and guests from other singing traditions talk about their (not only) musical origins. Audrey Chen (born in 1976 into a Chinese-Taiwanese-US-American family) is a guest in January. She understands her voice as a medium of experimental music like few others. She creates spaces of absolute presence, of immediate improvised expression. In the intimate setting of Ballhof Zwei, she meets the Finnish bass Markus Suihkonen, who has been with the Staatsoper ensemble since this season. One can look forward to the many sensually perceptible answers to the question at the heart of the Voice Stories stands: Why does one sing? why are you singing?

EROTEME and CURIOUS EAR presents AUDREY CHEN / PHIL MINTON at THE ANTHONY BURGESS CENTER, MANCHESTER, UK

Eroteme team up with Curious Ear to start the year off with National Treasure Phil Minton who having turned 80 in 2020 shows no signs of slowing down. Performing with him is regular sparring partner and fellow explorer of the human voice Audrey Chen.

"Singing with Audrey is like working with all the possible noises of the universe and beyond, earthquakes,
colliding galaxies and slugs sliding down a wet window, very quiet."

— Phil Minton, Minton at 80, The Wire Magazine December 2020

For your safety we ask you to wear a mask and you'll need to bring with you proof of a negative lateral flow test taken within 24 hours of arrival. A picture of one as proof is fine.

Jan 13th - Anthony Burgess Center
7:30 - 10PM / £10 entry

..........................................................

AUDREY CHEN & PHIL MINTON (VOICES)

With primary focus on the interplay between the uttered sounds of the mouth and vocal chords, Minton and Chen plumb the depths of their most inherent and bodily instruments. Their improvisations are fearless, fragile, hungry, passionate, riotous, ululating and animalistic, yet are also in all respects, human. They express, pronounce and intensely articulate (in their fashion) the many nuanced shades of their individual and collaborative conditions.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd69J7XVo1M

.............................................................

MINIMUM WAGE IMMANENCE UNIT (GUITAR, VOICE, ACCORDION & BASS CLARINET)

David Birchall, Adam Fairhall and Michael Perrett meet regularly as Minimum Wage Immanence Unit to try and find the meeting point between spectralism, free improvisation and English folksong. When it goes well it sounds like a Pelt album from 1999. They’ll be joined in this endeavor tonight by a special guest, vocalist Odie Ji Ghast.

.............................................................

RICHARD SCOTT
(MODULAR SYNTHESIZER)

Is an electroacoustic composer and improviser living in Berlin, Germany working with gesture-controlled interfaces, modular synthesizers and sampling.

"In an age when everything appears irreparably phony, fabricated, badly acted out, half an hour of Phil Minton is sufficient to restore a measure of hope in the continuation of something that lives, moves relentlessly, fights. In its own way." – Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes

Coming together again for Live Music !

We pick up on the spirit of our Festivals from the Mystery Music Festival in 2011 to PEOPLE Festival in 2018. On Sundays this summer, we host an early evening full of music, food and togetherness! Each session curated and put together by a group of musicians, old and new friends, that take the stage together, one after another or however and with whatever they would like to share. Surprise, mystery, all about music and the experience it ignites. The Artists will not be announced. You will know once the music begins.

We ignite the fireplace in the yard and our kitchen, so you are taken care of from all sides if you wish. All seated, with or without table. DJ from 4pm melting into live performances at around 5pm. Anywhere from 2-4 hours of live music awaits you. Come alone, come with friends and pick the ticket of your choice.

We are very much looking forward to seeing all your faces again ! Your Michelbergers and the Mystery Artists from Mixtape #2 :)

LIVE STREAM - BEAM SPLITTER + ANDREA PARKINS at AUSLAND, BERLIN, DE

8:00 PM20:00

LIVE STREAM - BEAM SPLITTER + ANDREA PARKINS at AUSLAND, BERLIN, DE

BEAM SPLITTER + Andrea Parkins
Audrey Chen – voice, electronics
Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø – trombone, electronics
Andrea Parkins – accordion, electronics

BEAM SPLITTER – Audrey Chen and Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø – is a duo for amplified voice, trombone and occasional analog electronics. Utilizing the pure sounds of acoustic and closely amplified sound sources, the duo joins together two individual voices into a distinct dialog that delves beyond the borders of the corporeal elements of extended technique and sound. There is an intimacy and conflict that becomes evident as the two personas intertwine, in moments joining together seamlessly and in the next, being left with the feeling of irrevocable fracture. The two manage between these extremes with a kind of improvised grace that reveals an effort towards a common goal. It is an honest metaphor for a human relationship in process that even in the most serene moments can leave one raw and entirely exposed.

Andrea Parkins is a sound artist, composer, and electroacoustic performer known for her pioneering approach on her electronically processed accordion and investigation of embodiment and chance with her self-designed virtual sound-processing instruments. Described as a “sound-ist,” of “protean,” talent by critic Steve Smith, Parkinsʼ laptop electronics, amplified objects, and Fender-amped accordion create sonic fields of lush harmonics and sculpted electronic feedback, punctuated by moments of gap and rift. Parkins' works encompass multi-diffusion audio installations; electronic music pieces; electroacoustic solo and ensemble compositions; and sound for contemporary dance, experimental film and intermedia performance.Parkinsʼ recent projects include her large-scale amplified performance drawing series, developed in 2017 when she was an invited resident artist at the Rauschenberg Residency in Captiva, Florida; and her site-based performance/installation, Two Rooms – Variation 1, for 40 loudspeakers and Solo Performer which premiered in 2016 at Akousma Festival in Montreal.

Chords for Calling: Public Intervention at DAAD, BERLIN, DE
Jun

7:00 PM19:00

Chords for Calling: Public Intervention at DAAD, BERLIN, DE

"Chords for Calling" was developed by Stine Janvin in winter 2020–21 at the invitation of Deutschlandfunk Kultur and premiered as a radio concert for Art’s Birthday on January 17, 2021. It will now be performed live on June 11 in front of an audience for the first time.

The project is inspired by the tradition of Norwegian Lokk singing – a mixture of calling and singing with significant ornamentation and microtonal tuning – used in earlier times to call animals home from the grazing fields. In order to bridge the often-great geographical distances between caller and animals, high pitches were preferred and voices were amplified as they echoed through the valleys, mountains, and forests of the landscape. Chords for Calling is a reworking and adaptation of Karoline Bergseth’s song Kulokk.

Stine Janvin translates and adapts this age-old oral tradition for the big city: Chords for Calling is an ensemble piece for six performers in an outdoor setting in the city center of Berlin. In this case, the urban landscape of closely opposing building facades on Oranienstraße is used to amplify the six voices. From the daadgalerie’s windows, the ensemble calls out to neighborhood residents to join together in a communal experience after the long pandemic winter. In doing so we are reminded that, especially in difficult times, we must find ways to reaffirm our nature as social beings and strengthen community beyond our closest circles.

With: Stine Janvin, Audrey Chen, Elisabetta Lanfredini, Liina Magnea, Evelyn Saylor & Cansu Tanrikulu

Art's Birthday 2021: Chords For Calling, live broadcast Deutschland Radio Kultur

Radioconcert with Stine Janvin + Ensemble

Stine Janvin, an Artists-in-Berlin Program fellow through July 2021, has been invited by Deutschlandradio Kultur to produce a solo piece for Art’s Birthday on January 17, 2021. To counter the current tendencies towards isolation and social distancing, Stine Janvin uses this occasion to develop a piece for multiple performers. Compulsory social distancing rules are not thought of here as a necessary evil but as a central aesthetic element.

The project is inspired by the tradition of Norwegian Lokk singing – a mixture of calling and singing with significant ornamentation and microtonal tuning – used in earlier times to call animals home from the grazing fields. In order to bridge the often-great geographical distances between caller and animals, high pitches were preferred and the voice amplified as it echoed through the valleys, mountains, and forests of the landscape. Chords for Calling is a reworking and adaptation of Karoline Bergseth’s song Kulokk.

Stine Janvin translates and adapts this age-old oral tradition for the big city: Chords for Calling is an ensemble piece for six performers in an outdoor setting in the city center of Berlin. The urban landscape is used to amplify the six voices located at significant distances from one another. With these calls, Stine Janvin not only seeks to intensify her current research into pure temperament and the Lokk tradition and transform it into a composition, but above all to also send a signal that in these times in particular we need to find ways to affirm our sociality and reinforce community beyond our closest circles.

Given the intense nature of the pandemic situation, the recording will take place on January 17 in Deutschlandfunk’s back courtyard without an audience. As soon as the rate of infection permits it again, this first broadcast will be followed by an open-air performance in Görlitzer Park. Updates on this will be made available on our website.

With: Stine Janvin, Audrey Chen, Elisabetta Lanfredini, Liina Magnea, Evelyn Saylor & Cansu Tanrikulu

INPUT IMPACT FESTIVAL at Collegium Hungaricum Berlin
Dec

1:00 PM13:00

INPUT IMPACT FESTIVAL at Collegium Hungaricum Berlin

INPUT IMPACT - durational Echtzeitmusik on Air
15.12.2020, 13:00-18:00

in collaboration with Heroines of Sound Editions: Jane in Ether

from Collegium Hungaricum Berlin & aProStudio Budapest
broadcasted on Cashmere Radio (https://cashmereradio.com/)


Input Impact, the format that creates a bridge between Berlin’s and Budapest’s improvised music scene for the third time is finally happening to end this year of nightmares. Originally it was supposed to happen in April and since then it has been replanned and reorganised three times. We believe that the final version is Corona- and regulation-proof.

Instead of two days in one location Input Impact now is merged into one long day, but simultaneously at least in two locations. Most of the Berlin-based artists perform in Collegium Hungaricum Berlin while the majority of the Hungarian ones streams from Apro Studio in Budapest. Their voices meet on an online audio streaming platform where they play with and react to each other in real-time. This is all broadcasted live on Cashmere Radio (Berlin - 88,4 MHz. Potsdam - 90,7 MHz).
Time becomes a focal point of the event for two reasons. On the one hand, all artists are aware of the latency that might occur during their communication. On the other hand they learn to deal with this slight delay, because there is one single improvised set stretched out in time that all the sixteen performers musically contribute to in various formations.

Heroines of Sound Editions brings Jane in Ether, the Berlin Trio to Input Impact that makes real-time composition prior to the four-hour-long durational piece.
The overall event is video documented in all locations and a full-length concert video will be published days after the live broadcast.

Line-up:

13:00 - 13:45 - Jane in Ether (Miako Klein, Magda Mayas, Biliana Voutchkova) feat. Rozi Mákó

13:45 - 18:00 - Durational improvised music
Participating artists: Márton Bertók, Audrey Chen, Emilio Gordoa, Maike Hilbig, Dodó Kis, Liz Kosack, Markus Krispel, Joke Lanz, Magda Mayas, Rozi Mákó, Albert Márkos, Dag Magnus Narvesen, Palmovka, Áron Porteleki, Guilherme Rodrigues, Thea Soti

Curator: Endre Vazul Mandli

Cooperation partner: Heroines of Sound Editions
Supporters: Musikfonds Berlin, German Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, Culture Capital Fund and the Berlin Senate for Culture and Europe, Collegium Hungaricum Berlin
