Hackedepicciotto: For over 20 years, Alexander Hacke (formerly Einstürzende Neubauten) and the artist, musician and filmmaker Danielle de Picciotto (co-founder of the Love Parade) have been developing and refining a symbiotic way of working together. Profound intuition and creative equality allow both artists the freedom to experiment and develop. Each of them was a pioneer from the very beginning. Alexander Hacke began experimenting with cassette loops in the early 1980s at the age of 14 and later joined Einstürzende Neubauten to create music that would influence generations of musicians. Danielle de Picciotto, fascinated by early electronic dance music, founded the Berlin Love Parade in 1989 and later teamed up with Gudrun Gut to create a feminine version of electronic music that was way ahead of its time. In 2001, Hacke and de Picciotto began their collaboration and created what the duo themselves call Symphonic Drone: a mixture of industrial beats, electronic sounds with classical harmonies and melodies, enriched with throat singing, hurdy-gurdy and spoken word. Daniel Miller from Mute describes their music as "a genre of its own, something new and very fascinating". Comparable to a modern, musical version of Bonnie and Clyde, they rush from concert to concert and release albums at a rapid pace.

FERMENT: Frauke Berg, Julia Bünnagel and Anja Lautermann develop astonishing approaches to sound textures in their performances, which are based on compositional structures of "new music" on the one hand, but also produce seemingly architectural constructions or are built up from improvisational elements on the other. Microphoned objects, synthetic and electronic sounds, classical, self-made analog and digital instruments, sampled fragments, prepared records and the human voice create their own inner mechanics.Noises, eccentric rhythms, voice and experimental melodies form the repetitive hypnotic sound of the three musicians. Expansive noise melts into finely chiseled, minimalist atmospheres that grow into menacingly rough, rumbling beats - creating a fascinating musical bastard of performance, modern electronic music, sound generation experiments and idiosyncratic house music.In their performances, Berg/Bünnagel/Lautermann use sound-artistic means to address fundamental questions of togetherness, demarcation, stability, changeability, permeability, dominance, but also trust, solidarity and individuality - in order to question different perspectives, patterns and visions with regard to complex contexts through this artistic practice. Her performances are always forays into new, individual sounds and structures that open up exciting approaches for listeners from a wide range of backgrounds.
