Program description
We conclude our season with the series “Blanko”. The main focus lies in this ongoing project on discussing the language of today’s music in a free form. Ensemble Phoenix Basel invites two experimental musicians from the fields of noise, free improvisation, sound art, etc. to collaborate. This year we are invited to play this program in the “Antifestival 2K+” in Novi Sad.
Svetlana Maraš will open the evening. The Serbian composer and sound artist works in fields between experimental music and sound art. Since 2021, she is co-director of the Electronic Studio Basel and professor of creative music technology at the Hochschule für Musik FHNW.
Lucas Niggli takes over in the second half of the concert. The Swiss drummer and sound innovator, who, throughout his career, has been an experimentalist and pioneer in the search for new musical worlds, created and performed his piece “PLAY!” together with EPhB in the “Blanko 2022” program.
