The two composer-performers Andrea Ermke and Burkhard Beins have been working together for two decades now, namely in the electro-acoustic groups Cox Orange with Jim Denley (sax, flutes) and Ignaz Schick (turntables) and Tree with Chris Abrahams (dx7), pianist of The Necks. In their duo the two Berlin-based musicians create experimental soundscapes full of bewildering complexity and beauty. An additional musician of the evening is Matěj Šenkyřík, who will present his new composition for clarinet and electronics.
