SWARM by Andrea Molino is the high-tech answer to Steve Reich’s key work of minimal music, ELECTRIC COUNTERPOINT (1987): In SWARM, too, a guitarist spins a dense web of 16 sound tracks that he plays live. Molino’s piece, however, is precisely about the shimmering produced by a not fully synchronized swarm of similar voices – a compositional meditation on the cheering of soccer fans and the song of dancing snowflakes. The new piece DISTAL by Amsterdam clarinettist Oğuz Büyükberber borrows its title from ornithology. It explores the dynamics between performers when there is no common ground. As a nearly blind musician, Büyükberber has been used to dealing with uncertainty all his life. An everyday condition that many people are facing in the current pandemic. DISTAL is based on the Conducted Improvisation system of Büyükberber’s mentor Butch Morris. It aims to intentionally oscillate both the audience and the performers between the poles of uncomfortable and reassuring. JakoJako rounds off the evening with an ambient/noise DJ set. The techno artist, who mainly performs live, is a specialist in modular synthesis. Last year she released her debut EP on Leisure System and also works at SchneidersLaden, one of the world’s most famous modular synth gear stores.
