Let’s not drift apart! We’re really pleased to announce an evening tuned to air columns. Stripped of unified use and the body postures that playing demands, the night hosts three live acts that bend their relationship to instruments and the air rushing through it.

Ragnhild May will push air through a labyrinth. Sound artist and performer, her work centres on a multitude of transitions carried by instruments and the relation to the player, investigative sound research with a healthy dose of humour and playfulness, underpinned by music theories across various periods, feminist theory, computer technology and physics.

Pierre Bastien joins the evening with his intricate interplay of prepared cornet alongside self-built Meccano-orchestras that animate instruments from across the world. Offering warmth through texture and tempo, observation and reaction. His work wanders between kinetic sculpture and free improvisation, simultaneously ancient and futuristic.

Hannah Todt will present a version of her work One and Many Flutes, a piece that explores the abstraction of sound within space, and the fluid transitions between instrument and orchestra, note and melody, individual and collective. Hannah offers us fleeting airflows as modes of communication, or at times chooses to withhold them, in collective interaction.

Lars Noll adds to this with his way of tracing connections across genres and moods that feed on each other, or at times coexist. He works as a curator, organiser, DJ and painter, his world sits somewhere between art spaces, skateparks, music venues and temporary worlds.

Menqui’s sets feel like bonfire anecdotes, listening through the sentiments formed by storytelling and beat. Co-running the R.i.O. label and a regular part of the monthly Past Forward show on Cashmere Radio, he always delivers a surprising mix of music, whatever time or mood.
