Maria Bertel (verstärkte Posaune)
Is a danish trombone player, improviser and composer. The acoustic sound of her instrument amplified creates an output that draws inspiration from drone and noise music. What is normally not hearable is presenting itself, movements, metal and breath becomes a swirling part of her compositions. Changing organic patterns are emerging, tiny sounds becomes brutally clear as well as the range of overtones of the instrument.
Apart from her work as a solo artist she performs and composes in groups like the notorious four piece noise rock band Selvhenter and improvised noise outfit duo Nina Garcia & Maria Bertel. She has also collaborated with artists like Chinese saxophone player Lao Dan, and Virginia Genta of Jooklo duo.
She has presented her music in various festivals like: Oct-Loft Festival Shenzhen (CHI), LUFF (CH) Summer Bummer (BE) Flow Festival (FL) Supersonic Festival (UK) Raw Power festival (UK) Sonic Protest (FR) Gong Tomorrow (DK) Roskilde Festival (DK) Borealis (NO) OFF festival B-sides festival (CH) Meteo festival (FR) . She is one of five cofounders of the Copenhagen based art collective eget værelse founded in 2010.

Efsun / افسون
Sakina Teyna (Stimme) & Stefan Fraunberger (erweitertes Hackbrett)
Elastische Strukturen im Gewand von Liedern – Efsun sind Beschwörungen des Wohin. Teyna und Fraunberger begehen nach gemeinsamen Projekten (the glory of the millers doom, Ornamentrausch) als Duo den Horizont sonischer Möglichkeiten. Nicht das Traditionsmuseum sondern die daraus entstehenden Bewegungen und Spannungsfelder stehen im Raum.
Sakina bewegt sich stimmlich zwischen Dengbej, der kurdischen Bardentradition, und der Sehnsucht nach Freiheit im Geiste entrückter Intonation auf dem Weg verbotener Sprachen.
Stefan Fraunberger arbeitet an der Sprache der Dinge, für Efsun verwendet er eine erweiterte Santur als irdischen Synthetisierer, um entfremdete Landler und spektrale Bewegungen neu zu strukturieren. Stefan verwendet das Hackbrett als transkulturelles Saiteninstrument, das in verschiedenen Formen und Stimmungen zwischen Himalaya und Alpen bespielt wird.
Eine Form des Dialogs der Deeskalation im Ausnahmezustand.
Klarer Wahnsinn und konkretes Material trällern nahe der Bewegung von Schubert-Liedern – letztlich geht es bei jeder Beschwörung um Schutz vor Bedrohung.
SAKINA TEYNA was born into a Kurdish Alevite family in the small town of Varto in Turkey. As a teenager she started singing with Turkish choirs and bands, but it wasn’t until she entered university that she became acquainted with Kurdish musical traditions and set out to defy cultural assimilation. In 1991 she joined the Mespotamian Cultural Centre in Istanbul, a proponent of Kurdish culture, as a vocalist. Like many other Kurdish musicians, she was forced to literally go underground to practise her music and soon she had to choose political activism over art. It wasn’t until Sakina arrived to Austria as a political refugee in 2006 that she took to singing as a full-time pursuit again. The first fruit of her concentrated creative efforts were released in the form of her first solo album ROYÊ MI, globally distributed by ARC Music. Sakina joined forces with pianist Nazê Îşxan and violinist Nurê Dilovanî to form the all-female TRIO MARA, drawing on traditional Kurdish songs mainly sung by and handed down from woman to woman, enrichening the material with Western classical and contemporary approaches. In 2013 the trio released their first album DERI / BEHIND THE DOORS, recorded live at the Rudolf Ötker Hall in Bielefeld. The album was distributed by AHENK MÜZIK and earned the trio a wider acknowledgement. They were included in the portfolio of the Secretary of Culture of North-Rhine Westfalia and publicly commissioned to tour a number of venues in the region.
Since 2013 Sakina works with another group, the ANADOLU QUARTETT, touring Austria and Germany. Their first tour is successfully documented in the form of the live album KÖPRÜ/THE BRIDGE (Ahenk Müzik), a recording that reached a large audience and garnered the group critical recognition. On top of all that, Sakina has established the Vienna-based ensemble “Sakina & Friends” featuring musicians from Iran, Spain, Austria and Turkey. They regularly perform throughout Austria, where Sakina appears on a lot of album projects and concert bills, never tired to support other artists.

The music and art of STEFAN FRAUNBERGER draws on the language of things to focus the in-between. His work spans composition, installation, writing, solo and ensemble performance, as well as works for theatre and screen. Stefan Fraunberger engages with the possibilities of material compositions and liminality, the thin line between being Radical and Naive. Counterpointing the uncanny he relates various instruments, actors, techniques and sciences to generate future-oriented perspectives beyond nature and culture. Stefan creates, translates and investigates composted church-organs, electro-acoustic realms, augmented voices, strings, horns and structural recycles of pre-modern agencies: The drama of states becomes a response to present alienations.
Fraunbergers long-term project „Quellgeister“ examines the unique character of derelict pipe-organs in abandoned Transylvanian fortress churches. This ongoing project of different sequences is investigating the various transformations that ritual machines undergo once left devoid of human presence. The organs are slowly changing their interior material composition, developing a climate beyond systemic demands. To date, he has published internationally critical acclaimed Quellgeister #1 – #3.
Fraunberger consistently pursues the altered perception of space in his work „Wirbelsatz/Vortexmovement“, focusing on specific material qualities of conch-shells that shift our perception of water and entropy, relating non-human resonances to human architecture. His latest sonic theatre work is a recycle regarding romantic period / Biedermaier literature. Interweaving Franz Schubert’s „Maiden of the Mill“ with sonics from „Hearafter“ to create a liminal drama: „the glory of the millers doom“. Investigating the uncanny within earthly agencies describes Fraunbergers future-oriented perspective on overwriting beyond nature and culture.
