About event
GULF OF BERLIN
Antje Messerschmidt - violin
Maike Hilbig - bass
Gerhard Gschlößl - tuba, trombone
Gebhard Ullmann - tenorsax, bass clarinet
Jan Leipnitz - drums
Michael Haves - electronics, live processing
GULF of BERLIN is a sextet of five musicians and one Real-time sound designer that re-measures the space between improvisation and composition. What at first glance seems like a spontaneous development of sound reveals itself to be music that is created in the moment, but carries internal logic through the special arrangement.
Each individual acoustic voice is transformed with electronic processing in real time and fed back to the musicians as a mirror, so that the ensemble acts like a multi-voiced collective: each musician reacts to an alienated self.
This creates soundscapes that range from floating ambient textures to eruptive noise mountains to the rhythms of prog-rock visionaries. The radical attitude of the AACM resonates in the background, while the spiritual fervor of Albert Ayler flares up.
G.O.B. sees his music as a laboratory: precise, disciplined and at the same time open to the unpredictable. From this field of tension grows an energy that sees composition not as a rigid structure, but as a living process. Music becomes a utopian space here - an open terrain in which the collective invents new forms of sound and makes the future audible
