People Pleaser
From 20.03.24 until 20.04.24,
I am people pleasing.
People-Pleaser is the result of a virtual dialogue between my online following and myself. By asking targeted questions and opinions, discussing next steps and directions, I am building this piece with whomever wants to join this experiment! The main question being: What would you rather want to hear?
The process is still taking place. For updates and more, visit this page!
19.01, 20.01 and 08.03 -
Radio year!
2024 has started with three great chances to share my work to a broad radio audience.
Firstly, I was approached by two different German radio makers about making a broadcast about my artistic practice.
On 19.01.2024 I was live on FSK in conversation with Hamburg-based Heiner Metzger.
On 20.01.2024 Deutschlandfunk aired a portrait about my artistic practice on their show "Atelier Neue Musik".
I also got to make the starting jingle for the international women's day on the Estonian national radio show Fantaasia. After the jingle you can also hear my piece The North, which is based on a painting by my good friend and Hamburg artist abstractraf.
You can relisten here:
Fantaasia (08.03.2024) on Klassikaraadio
Klingding (19.01.2024) on FSK
You can contact me for the broadcast Atelier Neue Musik (20.01.2024) on DLF - which isn't available online
Bunte Luft Trio performed at Hiền Hoang's multimedia installation "Scent from Heaven"
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 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.

Jana De Troyer (baritone saxophone)

The Practice Session (Halffloor #108)
I got the honor to make a contribution to the halffloor archipelago, where they host "60 sonic artworks by artists from everywhere". I made a miniature called "The Practice Session". You can check out this work and all the other ones on their soundcloud channel, and do some cool soundart DJ'ing on their website! I warmly recommend it!
How happy I am to be part of this project! Eveline Vervliet founded a platform about web-based sound art, called websoundart.org
Among other things, there is a blog with contributions from different people and on various related topics. I am conducting interviews with artists who have worked with this medium. You can find the first two here:
Interview #1: Whole milk, mad maps and digital bees: Nikola Lutz on nota and web-based sound art
Interview #2: The memory palace of Sander Saarmets
Interview #3: Vanilla with a scoop of humour: An unpatented journey through Sebastian Adams’ kaleidoscopic practice.

14.6.2024 Performance "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 next performance, which is happening on June 14th, 20h, at GEDOK in Hamburg during Blurred Edges 2024.
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 Medias Res" by myself for violin, harpsichord, baritone saxophone and electronics.
Still: Jan Wegmann
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.
