About this Event
At the end of October, we return to our spiritual home, the 120-year-old historical Musikbrauerei in Prenzlauer Berg. Tucked away between Greifswalder Straße and the Volkspark Friedrichshain, the former Schneider Brewery is a rare building in Berlin, unspoiled by the tide of gentrification.
► We present the collaborative project between electronic musician and saxophonist Lea Bertucci, and Mexico City based cello-based performer .
→ natural non-conformist, Mabe Fratti is a Guatemalan-born cellist now based in Mexico City. She creates delicate and deeply intimate soundscapes using only synthesiser, vocals, and her cello. Through her hypnotic and captivating performance, Mabe sews contemporary elements like shoe gaze and art pop with ancestral influences that go from Gregorian chants to Sephardi music.
→ Lea Bertucci on tapes and electronics finds new territory in extending the sonic possibilities of the human voice through electronic manipulation and improvised tactics. Influenced equally by jazz, Carnatic, and western classical vocal techniques, she takes a freely improvised approach. For the astute listener, the explorations may conjure a real-time version of postwar musique concrete or the groundbreaking experiments of live electronics pioneer Pauline Oliveros' tape improvisations.
