The concert, accompanying the next meeting in the AIR Wro Talks series, presents a summary of Berlin residency of Paweł Szroniak’s, in the course of which the Wrocław-based curator followed the most important actors dealing with experimental music (i.a. Errant Bodies, Labor Sonor, Quiet Cue, Ausland), attempting to define the mechanisms that influence the shaping of a so-called “music scene” – particularly non-hierarchical communities situated at the margins of official culture.
The participants of the event are Burkhard Beins and Marta Zapparoli, two prominent artists of a well-established position in the music circles. Although since 2010 they both have been members of the group Splitter Orchester (an orchestra of 24 members performing improvised music), the performance at Proza will be their first concert as a duo.
Burkhard Beins – German experimental composer and improviser. He is known from his innovative use of percussion prepared with unusual objects. In the recent years he has also worked with analogue synthesizers and created sound installations.
Marta Zapparoli – sound artist, improviser and performer based in Berlin. Her current music work refers to such issues as acoustic ecology, field recording, noise pollution, EMF, as well as the use of radio waves (especially short waves, Morse code and myriameter waves).
