The Kiezsalon season will start with four concerts at the themed gardens of the Gärten der Welt in Marzahn-Hellersdorf. Together with Kienberg and neighbouring Wuhletal, the area makes up over 100 hectares of east Berlin. With your Kiezsalon ticket, you are free to enter and explore the Gardens of the World two hours before the shows.
► We are thrilled to present computer musician Jessica Ekomane, the evocative landscapes of Hamburg-based sound artist Rosaceae, Swedish Saxophonist Otis Sandsjö, and the anomalous accordion music of Vienna-based singer-songwriter Alicia Edelweiss.
→ Jessica Ekomane is a French-born, Berlin-based electronic musician and sound artist. Her practice unfolds around live quadraphonic performances and installations that seek a cathartic effect through the interplay of psychoacoustics, the perception of rhythmic structures, and the interchange of noise and melody. She was one the six composers chosen as collaborators by Natascha Süder Happelman for her installation at the German pavilion of the Venice Biennale 2019:

→ Hamburg-based sound artist Rosaceae deals with complex and emotional source material via a brute sound that traverses noise, ambient and experimental electronic music. Her music is a response to the genocide of the Yezidi population that began in 2014, focusing especially on the systematic, violent suppression of women. The voices of Yezidi women inform her visceral recordings, and her performances use projection surfaces, dancers, and samplers to explore the ways in which female traumas are processed, creating new diasporic narratives: https://pudelprodukte.bandcamp.com/album/efia
→ Swedish saxophonist Otis Sandsjö is known for his physical, yet melancholic style of playing, and has grown to become much sought-after on the European progressive jazz circuit. 2011 saw his relocation from the west coast of Sweden to Berlin where he found a musical home, forming the long-standing trio “Speak Low” with singer Lucia Cadotsch and double-bass player Petter Eldh. With Eldh he also created the project Y-OTIS:

→ Alicia Edelweiss is an Anglo-Austrian singer-songwriter and artist who is currently based in Vienna. She started her musical career as a 19-year-old street musician, hitch-hiking all over Europe for two years. In Portugal, she began to learn the accordion, which soon became her trade-mark, alongside her distinctive voice and love for circus and bizarre outfits:
