Ignaz Schick & Chris Cogburn - Anahuac Redux
Chris Cogburn and Ignaz Schick have met years ago but started collaborating intensely in 2016 in Mexico. They founded the trio Anahuac in 2016 with bass player Juan Garcia but also started performing duo sets of intense electro-acoustic sound in 2017. Their performance involves sine waves, different forms of feedback, percussion & surface sounds & other sources being weaved into dense textures and sonic objects.

 Born in Osaka in 1982, Yuma Takeshita started playing experimental / improvised music around 2001. After moving to Tokyo in 2011 he began constructing his own instruments by modifying an electronic-bass guitar with different sound modules and machines.

Ignaz Schick is a Berlin based sound artist, experimental turntablist, composer and curator. He is often associated with so the so-called Echtzeitmusik scene but his musical interests & curiosity are sheer endless and range from noise, improvisation, electro-acoustic music, musique concrete, psychedelic and folk music to free jazz and contemporary music. He has been involved in numerous projects, bands, ensembles & collaborations worldwide and has been performing live since 30 years now. He also runs the small label Zarek, sporadically curates small festivals and books tours for friends and colleagues visiting Berlin and Europe from elsewhere. He believes in the idea of grassroots networking and collective collaboration as a form of political and social opposition. http://www.zangimusic.wordpress.com
