Between experimental music, rock and instrumental rap, Rabasta plays compositions by Benoit Moreau in which improvisation is always involved.

Berlin-based experimental musician, Felix-Florian Tödtloff, often performing under the name Sferics, started as a solo artist, improvising frippertronics loops on an electric guitar. Over time, he incorporated layers of subtractive synthesiser drones, percussion, and processed field recordings

It's great that Angélica Castelló, Carl Ludwig Hübsch and Petr Vrba working together as a new trio. This combination of tuba, voice, trumpet and electronic elements allows a great varity and interesting sound creations. With different and rich musical experiences in new music, creative jazz, electroacoustics and free improvisation, the trio will explore the boundaries of free improvisation and surely offer a multi-facetted sound experience.

Pirate Cultures ist eine künstlerische Recherche des Kollektiv Sandkasten Syndikat, die Piraterie als emanzipatorische Politik der Wiederaneignung, Fürsorge und DIY Kultur untersucht. Im Zentrum stehen Praktiken einer Rückeroberung der Stadt durch die (technologiegestützte) Selbstorganisation von Solidaritätsnetzwerken.

Generation Noir has teamed up with FLUCC to celebrate the cultural center's 22nd birthday - together we have curated an evening full of different approaches to loud, experimental rock & hardcore punk:

Both the FLUCC Deck and the Wanne will feature bands rotating on both stages, followed by a DJ line-up.

Zea is Arnold de Boer: minimal, full-on, electric, acoustic, heart-felt, strange-edge. Deploying guitar and sampler for intense and high energy songs. Urgent lyrics in English and in Frisian (his first language). Sometimes intimate, heart felt, poetic, at other times driven on roughshod beats and grimy bass lines. Joyfully obstinate, wonderfully bonkers.

Artist talks and concluding event

with Veza Fernandez, Zeynab Kirikou Gueye, Roshin Sharafi

The Soundscapes of Resistance event series invites artists from diverse cultural backgrounds to artistically explore healing, community and identity. It deals with broken hopes for reform and freedom and expresses the complexity of our current socio-political landscape.

13 Visions is a series of compositions of mine that I perform on the violin. They are conceived as an imaginary meeting between two composers whose musical aesthetics share many common traits, despite the centuries separating them: Hildegard Von Bingen (c. 1098 – 1179) and Pauline Oliveros (1932 – 2016).
