Finally found an instrument that’s just right for accompanying renaissance lute songs: the no input mixer. The internal oscillations in this vintage Mackie create an atmospheric curtain of sound that make a nice counterpoint to Dowland’s “In darkness let me dwell”. Here’s a little experiment from my work in progress for eine kleine Klubmusik… #countertenor #noinput #dowland #epxerimentalmusic

phønix sessions No.3 27.02. doors 8pm live set by @phonix16_band @20nine30 (white room) Lausitzer Str. 29 entrance via the parking lot PHØNIX16 is a paradox: a collective of individuals exploring the phenomenon of the voice as a primary instrument, but also as a vehicle for social, political and cultural expression and as a means of communication. PHØNIX16 uses a variety of research sources and realises its performances in different formats, including experimental films, installations and happenings. PHØNIX16 is not afraid to incorporate influences ranging from folklore to electronic and contemporary music to death metal. In this way, the usual way of listening is constantly questioned and expanded @countertaylor @andrew.munn.bass @marisoljimenezsound @timokreuser @fleurs_du_mal_berlin @fanni.ferrari @schrippenvibe @sonialescene @tengal

#25daysof2025 Thankful for having been part of this year’s Erzählkonzert series with the @rsb_orchester @blumenthalsusanne @m.roetzer @radioeins @rbb for an exciting performance of Virginia Woolf’s Orlando, with a live soundtrack ranging from Vivaldi’s Orlando to Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder. This show had the added bonus of making me discover this amazing piece of literature, which kind of blew my mind to be honest, and of course I got out all the feathers… #countertenor #rückschau #orlando #radiokonzert
