silent green Open Lab #9: JKZQ + franna

JKZQ is a Berlin-based duo consisting of Wang Ze-Qing and Jakob Stæterstad. Their improvisations revolve around guitar distortion and mixer feedback as central sonic elements. Through complex signal routing they blur the boundaries between analogue and digital sound worlds.

Berlin-based artist franna explores the emergence and negotiation of opposites through sound. Cassette recordings, field recordings and gentle vocals meet amplified and processed cello textures, moving between experimental pop, ambient and noise. Her live performances oscillate between structured songs and improvised soundscapes. Her debut album will be released in 2027 on the Berlin label subsidized time.

Set 1: Zsolt Sőrés: MUT NAQ FO MUS (IC) - SOLO

MUT NAQ FO MUS (IC) is Ahad aka Zsolt Sőrés electroacoustic solo performance project. The work is performed on the PolyViola, a custom-built five-string electroacoustic instrument developed in Berlin by Sukandar Kartadinata specifically for Sőrés. Combining live string performance, real-time electronics, and gestural control, the project explores slowly evolving sound textures, resonance, and spatial perception. Rather than relying on beats or fixed structures, the music creates immersive sonic environments through subtle transformations of acoustic and electronic sound. The project premiered in the Solo Electronics programme of the 68th Venice International Festival of Contemporary Music (La Biennale di Venezia) in 2024.

Set 2: Tapage & Guro Kverndokk - DUO

Using self-made electronics and voice, Tapage & Guro Kverndokk create an intricate, suggestive, dissociative, and intense soundscape that makes you unsure whether you are actually awake or dreaming. At the core of the sound is Guro Kverndokk´s ethereal voice. With a penchant for pushing the boundaries of vocalization, she uses her voice not just as an instrument but as a conduit for narrative and raw human experience.The skills and musicality of Tapage complement Kverndokk perfectly. A veteran of live electronics who weaves delicate tapestries of soundscapes using a variety of self-made instruments. Drawing inspiration from the intersection of art, technology, and innovation, Tapage creates immersive sonic experiences that defy categorization.

silent green Open Lab #10: Lovecrushr + ricky horror

Lovecrushr is a collaborative project between New Zealand guitarist Robert Bruce and Texas-born vocalist Anna Winslow, creating intimate music that moves between experimental folk, slowcore and indie songwriting.

ricky horror writes songs about kinship with non-human animals, navigating cis-heteronormative spaces and encounters with Saturn. Originally conceived as a tribute project for the cat Ricky, the project has evolved into a distinctive blend of vulnerability, humour and experimental songwriting.

Niloofar Asghary works across sound, photography and archives. Her current practice centres on the creative potential of the no-input mixing board, using feedback and interference to generate unpredictable and multilayered sonic environments that explore the tension between structure and contingency.

Using extended vocal techniques, tape and electronics, she investigates how vocal expression unfolds in space. Her debut album Ostium was released this spring on Prensa Manual.

silent green pres. Mutant Radio Sessions

Andrea Neumann + Liz Allbee + Araushavs

Mutant Radio is a community platform for music and culture, streaming a diverse programme ranging from DJ mixes and live performances to interviews, conversations and educational broadcasts. With more than 90 residents and collaborations with festivals, labels, record stores and cultural institutions around the world, it has become an important meeting point for experimental music communities. Since April 2025, Mutant Radio has also operated a compact studio in Berlin.

Andrea Neumann performs on her self-developed inside piano and mixer, creating finely detailed sound worlds between acoustic resonance and electronic amplification. Composer and performer Liz Allbee explores the sonic possibilities of her self-built quadraphonic trumpet alongside electronics and voice. Georgian trio Araushavs combine vocals, guitars, oscillators and computer music, presenting music born out of long-standing friendship and collaborative theatre practice.

Licht im Klangschatten

»Licht im Klangschatten« presents instrumental chamber music, performance, electroacoustics and video art. The concert performance takes place right after a related a pop‑up exhibition.

The programme includes manipulated piano sounds, bowed guitars and an electronic cello, complemented by a resonant soprano. Kafkaesque dictators lurk through the speakers, only to be finally neutralised by a media performance. The works shown reflect nearly two decades of compositional practice that extends across all fields of time‑based arts.

Andrea Cichecki

Andrea Cichecki creates Synths, Sounds, and Noise that are as magical as they are modern.

Nestled in her countryside studio with her self-built modular Eurorack synthesizer, Andrea is a composer and sound artist who creates her signature sound by layering analog and digital synth waves with influences from her natural surroundings. Her soundtracks and soundscapes are immersive pieces that transcend mainstream electronic music, blending her expertise in synthesis with organic noise and textures to compose emotional, transfixing music that invites listeners into her world.

For over 20 years, Andrea Cichecki has let her passion for music lead the way, taking her through ambient, experimental, and contemporary genres. Her versatility has led her to collaborate with filmmakers and artists, bringing stories in film and art to life through sound, including the score for the critically acclaimed and award-nominated short film ´Reclaiming Dragons´. She has released over a dozen singles and EPs and her album ´Drawn Into The Edge Effect´ received a nomination on the long list of the prestigious German award ´Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik´. Alongside her recorded work, Andrea performs live as a solo artist, and as a member of an audiovisual performance project with French painter Oilhack.

Slightly Imperfect
Performs "Songs of Ivor Cutler"

Greg Malcolm
Jenny Ward

Slightly Imperfect by New Zealand duo is a sojourn into the strange, wonderful and beautiful world of Scottish poet, writer and songwriter Ivor Cutler. The songs and poems are placed in a surreal and gentle playground of laughing boxes, toys, whirring pipes and theatrical elements to create an enchanting performance. Incorporating domestic objects and dance, silence and sound, text and extended techniques, participants are drawn into a timeless realm, an ode to play, and absurdity.

Sophie Hutchings

“Sophie Hutchings doesn’t just play the piano, she flows with the notes“ — A Closer Listen

Sophie Hutchings has quietly established herself among the top tier of the world’s contemporary classical musicians, releasing eight albums and achieving over 375m streams. Based on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia, the pianist and composer has built a substantial international career, topping the UK Classical Album Charts with Echoes in the Valley, opening for luminaries like Ólafur Arnalds and Hauschka, Federico Albanese and Lambert along with being involved with a number of acclaimed films including Babyteeth and True Spirit.

Her creative momentum has been mirrored by major industry recognition, including an Australian Record Industry Association Award win for Best Classical Album in 2024, a subsequent ARIA nomination in 2025, and being named one of the Australian National Live Music Awards’ top five live instrumentalists of the year. This crossover success is highlighted by her recent March 2026 project with electronic producer Digitonal (of Max Richter’s Sleep project), which topped Apple Music playlist charts across Europe.

Rich with emotion, texture, and contrast, as propulsive and powerful as it is elegant and intimate, Sophie’s live shows create an atmosphere of deep stillness that translates beautifully to international stages. Alongside celebrated works from A World Outside and the meditative, single take focus of Become The Sky, these upcoming performances will feature exclusive, unreleased live renditions created specifically for this tour.

Two solo projects that explore the intersection of improvisation with classical and contemporary musical traditions.

Set 1: Isabel Anders: „24 IMPROVISED PRÉLUDES“
Isabel Anders is a pianist, composer, and improviser who presents a new cycle consisting of 24 Improvised Préludes for solo piano. Marked by a distinctly composed character, the music moves between classical avant-garde, late Romanticism, and Impressionism. It evokes harmonic tension and expressive intensity through ambiguity, color, and inherent tension. Pages in different colors create a framework that mirrors the character of each section. The cycle unfolds in three parts: an opening, a central section, and a final group of preludes. From the central section onward, the atmosphere becomes increasingly intense. Rhythmic pulse and sharp accentuation emerge—urgent, vivid, and dramatically expressive. The Project is strongly inspired by the composer Alexander Scriabin.

Set 2: Julia Biłat „Improvisation in the context of a contemporary XX and XXI classical Cello repertoire“
Julia Biłat moves with the cello at the intersection of improvisation, composition, and performance. In her solo work, she expands the instrument through voice and movement, developing intense musical forms, in which sound and performative presence become inseparable. In this new project, she combines her work with the 20th-century cello repertoire, building a bridge between improvisation, performance and the tradition of european classical music. The improvisational language of this project is inspired by composers such as Penderecki, Dutilleux, Cassadó, and Lutosławski. By uniting her various influences, the project not only revives a fading tradition but also contributes to the ongoing renaissance of the cello as an instrument open to new approaches, techniques, and styles—positioning improvisation as an essential and living part of its repertoire.
