First Set:
Guilherme Rodrigues
Johan Moir

With the use of extended techniques, preparations, harmonics and multiphonics the duo of Johan Moir & Guilherme Rodrigues dives into a myriad of sound exploration. By letting small sounds and minimalistic movements be central in the music, they dwell in soundscapes where the cello and double bass can intwine, merging as one entity, creating a singular new identity.

Second Set:
Chris Heenan - Contrabass Clarinet
Emilio Gordoa - Vibraphone
Casey Moir - Voice
Lena Czerniawska - Live Drawings

A journey is undertaken as smooth rolling dissonance and soundscapes that overlap, intersect, traverse and unite meet with instinctive brush strokes as they dissect the white light with the ink of a pen, smelting together the ear with the eye. What is seen, what is heard, what is felt is a story told that will linger awhile on the skin and gently arouse the intrigue of ones senses.

Guilhermo Rodrigues' work develops a non conventional language resorting to preparations and textural forms. He is the son of violinist and improviser Ernesto Rodrigues, who will join him this evening. He felt stagnant in Lisbon and in April 2016 moved to Berlin in order to develop his own techniqueand find interesting artists to work with.

Johan Moir uses extended techniques and preparations to create an interesting flow of overtones and soundscapes. He recently relocated to Berlin to dig deeper into the improvised and experimental sound art scene. Before that he was mainly active in Sweden and Australia. 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.

Emilio Gordoa is a Mexican composer and vibraphonist based in Berlin since 2012. He’s involved in numerous projects including his work as a soloist and in collaboration with theater and dance. Emilio is specially focus in sound art, noise, free jazz and improvisation.. He is redefining the vibraphone as a source, treating it with preparations and extended techniques, and is a busy composer as well, writing graphic scores for a variety of ensembles, large and small, for theater, documentary films and audiovisual. Some of his active groups are Para.keets, Corso, Dörner-Gordoa-Thieke-Vorfeld Quertet and MOvE quintet. http://www.emiliogordoa.com

Casey Moir is an Australian born vocalist who has her base in both Gothenburg, Sweden and Berlin, Germany. Her artistic focus has her delving deeper into the capabilities of the voice. She enjoys testing and pushing conventional boundaries. She explores how for vowels and consonants are formed and can be distorted, how sounds can be shaped and manipulated, and then combining these somewhat unconventional aspects with the structure of composition. Lena Czerniawska A drawer, ornithologist, and a literature enthusiast. Her primary form of expression is drawing, i.e., a method of preserving visuals as art that can practised during travel or after joining a band of musicians, or that can be used for telling a story, watching birds, careful listening, an all-night party for one person, telling jokes, exercises in logic, and meditation. She always carries her sketchpad with her and uses it as the first priority resource in documenting everyday life. Expanding her language of drawings, she also creates collages, installations, murals, and short texts. She is more focused on searching rather than finding, as she knows that 'he who finds did not search right' (Aglaja Veteranyi). She lives and works in Wrocław as an assistant at the Creative Drawing workshop at the Academy of Art and Design in Wroclaw and she is the chairwoman of the Foundation for the Development of Culture and Art Macondo.
