Bunte Luft Trio @BraKuLa
Sunday 20.8.2023 16h00
An electronic synth, a jazzy baritone saxophone and a
traditional vietnamese dan bau. The instruments are rooted in three entirely different genres, however, come together on stage for the first time with the Bunte Luft Trio
Jan Wegmann, Jana De Troyer and Tam
Thi Pham met each other in 2020 at the HfMT Hamburg. Now they embark together on improvisational sound adventures. Let yourself be surprised by the sometimes enchanting, sometimes strange or even funny sound world of this unique combination of instruments. For sound explorers.
Jan Wegmann (synthesizer)
Jana De Troyer (baritone saxophone)

Sieben Fantasien für Lesende
On Sunday 25.06 was the release of my new work, Sieben Fantasien für Lesende / Seven fantasies for readers, a small booklet full of graphical scores intended to be for everyone.
The work is published in the framework of the 2022 residency I did at Künstlerhaus Lauenburg and can be ordered on their webpage. This way you can also support the Künstlerhaus and the great things they do!

During this year's edition of Blurred Edges, I had the joy of playing on two evenings.
We had our premiere with Chromatic Noise Collection on June 6th. ChroNoCo is a multimedial quartet with Elena Khurgina (harpsi-chord), Dimitra Maria Pavlou (violin), myself (saxophones) and VíctorPiano (electronics, lights)

We premiered two pieces: "duP" by VíctorPiano for baritone saxophone, violin and lights;
and "In Media Res" by myself for violin, harpsichord, baritone saxophone and electronics.

Both pieces were also featured during the Klingding radio show about Blurred Edges 2023.

Also Breadbelly + JjaANnaA were in town with Settings, which I premiered with Adam Eriksson in Stockholm in April 2023 and was now part of H7 Club.

05.05.2023 Premiere "Flämischer Akkordeonstau" by Lux Nova Duo
Flämischer Akkordeonstau is a musical reflection on a curious mobility phenomenon called “phantom traffic jams” (in Flemish “accordeonfile” = accordion traffic jam), an occurrence that happens when a traffic jam starts by one car slowing down a tiny bit and the chain reaction that follows - leading to a congestion without a real cause.
I am looking very much forward to the premiere, which is happening on Friday, May 5th, 19h, at the Instituto Cervantes in Hamburg during Hamburg Dialogues IV.
I went to Sweden!
From 03.04.2023-23.04.2023 I was in Stockholm and Göteborg for a residency at EMS. I worked with their legendary Buchla and Serge synthesizers, mixed some old and new work, and dived into the local scene.
I also played the premiere from Settings, our collab with Adam Eriksson on April 16th.
Hamburg premiere on 13.06 during Blurred Edges
Thank you EU and Goethe Institute for the funding to support me to do this work!
