Dauer: ca. 45 Minuten
Individualism and interaction – it is the tension between these two poles that turns encounters between improvisers (time and again) into a challenging affair. While ensemble duties were clearly assigned in the classic band line-ups of jazz history, such fixed patterns of roles have meanwhile become a rarity. Hierarchical structures like leader – soloist – sideman have likewise become obsolete. Thus Mazen Kerbaj’s Trumpet Ensemble, appearing in Donaueschingen for the first time this year, does not pursue the idea of a trumpet battle with seven lone fighters, instead using this superb constellation to explore the possibility of simultaneous individual multilinguality. JJJJ present themselves both polyphonically and monophonically at this NOWJazz Session, with improvisations in solo and quartet form. “New Sound Poetry and Vocal Improvisations” is the title chosen by the four vocal performers for their programme with experimental sound poetry.

Atypical Sounds from Typical Instruments:
A Weekend of Experimental Music and Dance at Studio 36 / Friday and Saturday, July 25–26
Greg Kelley and Chris Cooper both start from traditional instruments (trumpet and guitar respectively). By way of unorthodox playing techniques and external modifications (scraps of metal, handheld motors, springs, remote controls, and electronic processing), entirely unexpected sounds are produced. Jessica Goddard uses an amplified sewing machine as a primary sound source, accompanied by a rudimentary analog synthesizer and home-made magnetic tapes.
A Weekend of Experimental Music and Dance at Studio 36 / Friday and Saturday, July 25–26
Studio 36 presents two nights of experimental performance beginning Friday night with a program of two solo dances by Katrina Wolfe and David Noble with live music by Dmitry Artamonov.
Wolfe’s solo, “Insatiable” was choreographed by Joan Laage and debuted earlier this summer at the Seattle Butoh Festival. Noble will perform a new work titled “Skull Cup.”
On Saturday night, Studio 36 will host a program of three solo artists who work with sound in its elemental, abstract sense. Whether using traditional instruments or unique assemblages of non-musical devices, all three artists create compelling sound narratives which owe little, if anything, to traditional musical forms.
