Super-Asymmetry’o
Axel Dörner (trumpet)
Sofia Borges (prepared snare drum, props, found objects, toys)
Steve Heather (prepared snare drum, props, found objects, toys)
Super-Asymmetry’o is a trio formed by two non-identical parts – one trumpet and two snare drums – two instruments with a historical connection. Using various kinds of props as unexpected as they are suggestive, the two percussionists generate an equation composed of elastic loops, textures, rhythms, and patterns which interconnects with the equation suggested by the trumpet. Featuring a program that makes use of graphic scores, circular generative methods, and linear compositions, Super-Asymmetry’o essentially lives on spontaneous variables and unknown particles that may materialize in each performance.

12-14 November 2022 | 20:00 | St. Elisabeth-Kirche, Berlin – Germany
In a photograph from 1906, a crowd in southern Rwanda gathers for a magical event in front of a small apparatus on a table: deceiving the masses through technology. Behind the table is an official of the German colonial administration. The artists sell their talent without compensation. The funnel is directed at the musicians to the right of the table. A machine that sucks in the sound, carves the voices and the music into the wax rollers.
In the music theater BUZZING BRIDGE, Sounding Situations plays out how the process of recording makes us who we are. Those who press the record button have power, framed for themselves and others. Through repetition, sounds, music, language become part of our identity.
In BUZZING BRIDGE, the musicians and performers become sound carriers who turn the stage into a sounding negotiation space: Who owns what and who belongs where? Who takes in whom, in himself as the foreign or as his own?
Stage direction, Composition, Text: Sounding Situations (Milena Kipfmüller, Jens Dietrich, Klaus Janek)
Musicians: Sofia Borges, Michael Thieke, Klaus Janek, Milena Kipfmüller, Michael Makembe, Josué Mugisha
Performance: Eric 1key, Katharina Mewes

CYMBALISM
Luigi Marino, Sofia Borges, Emilio Gordoa, Els Vandeweyer, Michael Vorfeld, Burkhard Beins, Yorgos Dimitriadis
Cymbalism brings together seven prolific percussionists from the world of experimental and improvised music, each of them focussing on just one or two cymbals. The two different lengthy sets will see them in small groupings, as soloists and in full group formation. Predominantly it is gonna be all acoustic, though three of the musicians have also developed their very specific kind of amplification which will be featured in the course of the program. In any case, it does not need a hundred cymbals to create two rich and exciting one-hour-sets, but just seven idiosyncretic composer-performers playing their favorite cymbals.
