Axel Dörner & Seijiro Murayama
Since the modern era, the conventional concert format—performers facing an audience—has remained largely unchanged, even in
improvisation. Sound-art practices, by contrast, often discard this setup and allow free movement in space.
These formats reveal a divide: improvised music embraces spontaneity yet remains tied to the framework of “music,” and we can sense whether a sound leans toward the musical or the purely sonic.
To address this core issue of improvisation, it is meaningful for us to adopt a more sound-art-oriented approach and use space dynamically,
moving through it when needed.
Axel Dörner is one of the most unique voices in free improvisation. He developed a completely different language for the trumpet in the late
1990s. Most of the ensembles he is part of are characterized by a non-hierarchical collaboration of the musicians involved.
Since 2000 extended concert tours on all five continents which led to a worldwide genre- comprehensive musical network with most distinguished musicians of our time (SWR Jazzprize 2006, Jazzprize of the city of Berlin 2019). His discography consists at this time of more than 150 CDs / LPs.
Percussionist-drummer Seijiro Murayama was born in 1957 in Nagasaki, Japan. From 1982 to 1995, he dedicated himself to improvisation by
playing in Keiji Haino’s band Fushitsusha, then in K.K. Null’s noise/rock band A.N.P. (Absolut Null Punkt).
A relocation to France in 1999 led to collaborations that extended to dance, theatre, and performance, as well as ongoing partnerships with
musicians like Jean-Luc Guionnet, Eric La Casa, and Axel Dörner, among many others.
His activities as an improviser-composer are based on the concept of interdisciplinarity. Today, one of his main axes of work is to regularly
conduct workshops on non-idiomatic improvisation. The motor of his approach resides in the attention to space and place, the energy of the
audience, and the quality and perception of silence on various levels.

Yuzu
Milena Georgieva aka Yuzu is a composer and transdisciplinary artist, born in Bulgaria and based in Vienna. Guided by a fluid, unbound sense of music and listening she explores sound as an ever unfolding, organic matter. Her fascination with music is it’s capacity to be simultaneously a collective and radically intimate experience. There she sees the possibility to grow unexpected relationships and enter impossible places – utopias. Symbiosis — understood as both emergence and coexistence — lies at the core of her current compositional and collaborative work with choirs and ensembles. She interlaces diverse musical practices like improvisation and score, modular and digital sound design, live-processing, experimental and extended instrumental, vocal and recording techniques. By engaging noise, texture, and grip as auditory sensations of materiality, alongside processual and space-activating aspects like acoustic dimensionality, phasing, resonance-dissonance and polytemporality she sets in motion complex and multidimensional bodies of sound.
