Axel Dörner
Solo
Trio C.H. / A.D. / M.V.
Chris Heenan (US) has developed a formidable solo voice on his wind instruments, where he uses extended techniques, often incorporating multiphonics with surprising results, to reveal the subtleties inherent to the instrument. Some of his many projects include Splitter Orchestra, Trigger, Pivot and a duo with Michael Vorfeld.
Michael Vorfeld, sound and visual artist, based in Berlin, plays percussion and self designed stringed instruments and realises electro-acoustic sound pieces. He works in the field of experimental, improvised music and sound art and is often involved in site-specific art projects. He realises installations and performances with light, works with photography and film. Besides his solo activities he is a member of various ensembles and collaborates with artists from different art forms. His list of activities includes numerous concerts, performances and exhibitions in Europe, America, Asia and Australia.
Axel Dörner has for the past 20 years developed a large vocabulary of techniques and sounds, combined into a highly personal language. Among others, he has collaborated with Phil Minton, Rudi Mahall, Kevin Drumm, Paul Lovens, Alexander von Schlippenbach, Sven-Åke Johansson, Sam Rivers, George Lewis, Evan Parker, Zeena Parkins, Lol Coxhill, Mats Gustafsson, Günter Christmann, Barry Guy, Andrea Neumann and Annette Krebs.
