-etc.: Engel-Tuerlinckx-Comsom

20:00 | Concert hall
-etc.: is a transdisciplinary trio between acoustic expansion, noise, electronics and light. Reeds, interior piano and self-built circuits form a fragile and eruptive system in which breath, material sounds, resonances and optical impulses merge into a living organism.
Cologne-based saxophonist Jonas Engel works with extended playing techniques, preparations and hybrid instruments to make the inner workings of his blowpipes, such as air, saliva and microtonality, directly audible. Berlin-based pianist Anaïs Tuerlinckx breaks down the piano into frames, strings and mechanical fragments and uses them to develop a raw, physical sound language between noise, contemporary music and free improvisation. The Brazilian sound and light artist Bella Comsom expands this acoustic network with electronics, self-developed components and spatial light impulses that visually break up listening and turn the space itself into an instrument.
Together they create a music of friction and fine drawing, of vibration, silence, material resistance and overdrive, a dense, lively improvisation between body, object and electricity.
