Ji Youn Kang & Clara de Asís
Luc Döbereiner & Leonie Strecker
AyÅŸe Deniz Birdal
Ji Youn Kang & Clara de Asís
Luc Döbereiner & Leonie Strecker
This evening consists of three sets:
Ji Youn Kang
A performance as a live construction of an unstable sonic machine, circuits, metal plates, and electromagnetic feedback form a system where sound emerges from shifting relations between material, performer, and signal. Through acts of tinkering, the piece reveals the hidden vitality of matter and its dynamic behaviors.
Ji Youn Kang is a composer and performer of electronic and instrumental music. Her work often draws from Korean shamanistic traditions while exploring spatial sound and handmade electronics. She teaches at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague and performs internationally.
- Clara de Asís & Luc Döbereiner
The duo unfolds reduced sound textures with synthetic (analog and digital) sources, moving between isolated harmonic states and noise. The music emphasizes spatiality, the materiality of listening and sound reproduction, and the interplay between reduction and multiplicity of sound sources.
Clara de Asís is an artist and composer working with electronics, objects, and instruments to investigate listening, perception, and social-material contexts. She creates works of different formats encompassing performance, audio pieces and installations.
Luc Döbereiner is a composer, musician and researcher exploring the fragility and materiality of sound, often using generative processes and synthesis.
- Leonie Strecker
In her solo performance, Strecker explores presence, absence, and memory through concrete and synthetic sound, evoking ambiguous meanings and creating spaces for individual and collective listening.
Leonie Strecker is a composer and sound artist based in Vienna. Her work includes electronic and electro-acoustic music, compositions for soloists and ensembles, as well as performances and installations. She explores ideas around the hybridity of form, presence and absence, the connection of memory and experience, and the meaning of concrete and synthetic sound.
AyÅŸe Deniz Birdal (Istanbul, 1996) started studying at the Istanbul University State Conservatory at age 10. She continued her studies with Julius Berger in Augsburg. She won first place in the Rudolf Matz Strings Competition and second place in the International Johan Andreas Stein Strings Competition, where she played, among others, her own composition Sky-Cut.
Birdal played multiple festivals, including the Menuhin Festival Gstaad String Academy and the Kronbeg Academy Cello Festival, and played as a soloist with the Kaunas Philharmonic Orchestra, among others.
She has a strong interest for contemporary classical music and music from her home country. She is also an enthusiastic improviser.
With her artistic identity, she is building a bridge between genres and cultures, to express her identity as a human being and a woman who migrated from Turkey through Europe to pursue an artistic career, and to narrate her experience through life and cultures.

Berke Can Özcan & Jonah Parzen-Johnson
Phantanoise© Kollektiv feat. AyÅŸe Deniz Birdal
The music meticulously builds on itself, as two strangers from across the world weave percussive explosions, field samples, and forceful baritone saxophone melodies into something instantly solid & joyful. In an era of apathy and cynicism, this music is a reminder that the antidote to polarization is curiosity.

The Shape of Uncertainty
Phantanoise© Kollectiv feat. AyÅŸe Deniz Birdal
No script, no safety net — only the fragile geometry of sound unfolding in the moment.
The Phantanoise© collective creates sonic spaces between structure and dissolution, between resonance and resistance. Electronics, B-flat clarinet, soprano saxophone, trumpet, bass, percussion, and cello intertwine to form a vibrant fabric of tension and silence.
Free improvisation as a collective process – immediate, risky, open to whatever emerges.
Gero von Randow – electronics
Palatinszky Márton – bass clarinet, soprano saxophone, percussion
Helmut Steininger – trumpet
Milan Konrad – bass
Phantanoise© artist – electronics
Guest: AyÅŸe Deniz Birdal – cello
Die Form der Ungewissheit
Phantanoise© Kollektiv feat. AyÅŸe Deniz Birdal
Kein Drehbuch, kein Sicherheitsnetz – nur die fragile Geometrie des Klangs, der sich im Moment entfaltet.
Das Phantanoise© Kollektiv formt Klangräume zwischen Struktur und Auflösung, zwischen Resonanz und Widerstand. Elektronik, B-Klarinette, Sopran-Saxophon, Trompete, Bass, Percussion und Cello verschränken sich zu einem vibrierenden Gewebe aus Spannung und Stille.
Freie Improvisation als kollektiver Prozess – unmittelbar, riskant, offen für alles, was entsteht.

geheimWERKER

​
geheimWERKER ist eine Band, welche aus einem orangen VW-Bus auf die Erde losgelassen wurde. Gegründet unter einer grauen Ulme am Kreuzbergl, begann ihre lebenslange, höchstgeheime Tournee im Fischlpark.
Auf ihrer Tournee durch das Multiversum, speziell in den Tälern des Enceladus, schrieben geheimWERKER einige verstörende Songs, welche von psychedelisch bis eigenartig sein können. Auf der Setlist stehen auch ein paar Lieder von Heimwerker, welche eher Funkypunkymetal sind, und nichts mit geheimWERKER zu tun haben.
Die Band mag sich selbst absolut gar nicht. Aber vielleicht… naja… mögen Sie die Band ja…

VOLCANO – Gross/Hanousek/Marciniake
Ein internationales österreichisch-tschechisch-polnisches Trio. Sie lernten sich in Wien kennen und verwenden in ihrem Spiel Präparationstechniken und alternative Artikulationstechniken. Dabei bleiben sie der Tradition der europäischen frei improvisierten Musik, des Free Jazz und der Musik zeitgenössischer Komponisten treu. Darüber hinaus bringt jeder von ihnen seinen eigenen, von seiner Herkunft geprägten Klang in die Band ein.
Maria Carlas & Mylo Cywitz (IT/NL, Arnhem/Amsterdam)
Maria Carlas brings her versatile voice, impulsive key and bass work and synth ballads to Mylo Cywitz classical industrial compositions. Their live show includes a costumed show, a candle lit music stand and accompanying visuals as they wail on obscure minisynths, a glockenspiel, a mandolin, bass guitar and a recorder.
Maria Carlas (IT) and Mylo Cywitz (NL) started in 2017 performing shows together.
They have performed all over Europe separately as solo artists and in groups. Together they have performed in Portugal, Bulgaria, Germany and the Netherlands.
