Project VO ・ Naked in the Zoo
Project VO
Project VO is an improvising duo between Antti Virtaranta and Rieko Okuda working since 2010. Their approach is handcrafted like their limited releases “glass hopper” (2012) and “プランクトン” (2015), which reflect the way they navigate the free improvisation landscape. The characteristics of the music is repetitive and broken rhythms. The combination of piano and bass has expanded to include viola and small electronics, which further push the duo to explore more colors and textures for their performances.
Naked in the Zoo
A mesmerizing combination of musique concrète, surrealism, noise and forward pushing blast beasts. A burning violin player that got fascinated with turkish classical music gets mental in sonic research not fearing harsh noise nor melodies, a convulsive percussionist constantly breaking into being along the eclectic use of her fragmented voice.

The trio was founded in the course of the project „SuperSpreadingArt“ in 2022 with the idea to work together on a music video. The media music and video should be equal and a working method over distance, as we learned it in Corona times, was also program. Thus, a work was created in the geographical axis of Berlin, St. Petersburg and Vienna, in which material was exchanged, mixed, superimposed and transformed in a total of five steps in a ping-pong process.
This process of creation became both the title of the video and the name-giving for the trio, which now meets live on stage for the first time. A high abstraction and density of the instrumental and electronic sound vocabulary, which this time meets in free improvisation , as well as the connection of acoustic and visual medium in the live set are the essential characteristics of this formation.

Tahereh Nourani - Akhshigan ・ Kačis
Tahereh Nourani – Akhshigan
Tahereh Nouranis Musik unterliegt keiner Dramaturgie, sondern setzt den Klang an den Beginn einer Entdeckungsreise. Mit freier Improvisation, unkonventionellen Spieltechniken, Live Elektronik und einer sehr langsamen Herangehensweise erzeugt sie außerordentlich reduzierte, post-minimalistische bis archaische Klangarchitekturen, ein Bogen gespannt zwischen dem Klang der Berührung und dem Rhythmus der Sprache, zwischen ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Memory Response) und Noise.
Kačis
Trio KAČIS are Tea Vidmar, Ana Kravanja and Samo Kutin. Their musical creating is based in free improvised music and in exploring folk and author music. They have been for many years present in Slovenian experimental, improvising and alternative music scene.

Daniel Lercher & Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø
Daniel Lercher & Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø (based in Vienna and Berlin) have been collaborating as a duo since 2010, making tightly woven electroacoustic music that is both ethereal and in-your-face.
Duo Genthon_Marchetti
Composing with the confusion of provenance and the intermingling of acoustic and electronic sounds, the two instrumentalists develop a heterophonic game from a mimetic sound material, so as to combine a focal point with a harmonic complexity that unfolds, by natural bounces, in all directions.
