Blanko

“Blanko 2025”

Once a year, EPhB invites experimental musicians with a rather non-academic background to a collaboration. These artists come from areas such as noise, free improvisation, sound art, etc. An exciting combination of the young Chinese performer and sound artist Yiran Zhao, who lives in Berlin, and the experienced British all-round musician Barry Guy and his double bass is planned. Both will conceive and curate one half of the concert each.
