KONTRAKLANG - Extended Keys
Pianist Marina Khorkova offers a rare listening experience with her Multiphonics piano, which she designed and built herself. The instrument is reduced to its strings, which Khorkova exposes and prepares with a variety of materials, creating a sound rich in color and overtones when played.
The two composer-performers Andrea Neumann and Simon James Phillips have long been influential figures in the Berlin real-time music scene. At KONTRAKLANG they can be heard for the first time as a duo, where Neumann's unique inner piano meets Phillips' versatile playing.
