“Joke Lanz is one of the most prolific and profound artists working in the border zones where performance and body art meet Improvisation and Noise.” (The Wire)
In his brand new solo program he will present compositions from his new studio album “Zungsang” (Force Majeure), a rework of his 2023 cassette on Vice de Forme. A unique blend of physical sound poetry and epileptic noise bursts, created with contact microphones, voices, electronics and rhythms. Major themes of his intense musical universe are childhood experiences, physical eruptions, psycho mechanisms and absurdities of human destiny.

Frank Wilke verbindet Stimme, Trompete, Posaune und gelegentlich auch Waldhorn mit Elektronik zu einem vielschichtigen Klangkörper. In dieser Performance verschmelzen Atem, Metall und Resonanz zu einem organischen Ganzen – ein Spiel mit Erwartung und Irritation, ein Dialog zwischen Instrument und Körper. Die Stimme dient dabei nicht nur als Träger von Text oder Ton, sondern als erweitertes Instrument: flüsternd, röchelnd, schreiend, singend. Mikrotonalität und Extended Techniques machen den Auftritt zu einem immersiven Erlebnis jenseits traditioneller Hörgewohnheiten.
