We are sorry to announce that the program is canceled due to the latest government measures.

French sound artist and experimenter Jessica Ekomane and Paris-based Iranian duo 9T Antiope (Sara Bigdeli Shamloo and Nima Aghiani).

While Jessica Ekomane will present her precise minimalist compositions in her quadrophone show based on phase shift, 9T Antiope can be expected to provide an intense musical experience based on the contrast of dense sound layers by Nima Aghiani and gentle vocals of Sara Bigdeli Shamloo. Concert will be presented by Jan Lichý, dramaturge of the evening.

Jessica Ekomane

Berlin-based French composer and sound artist Jessica Ekomane makes great use of psycho-acoustic properties of human hearing in her sound installations and quadrophone shows: by mutual influence of harmony and dissonance, rhythmic and arhythmic structures and melody and noise Ekomane changes the perception of the audience and creates extreme soundscapes. Although Jessica Ekomane dedicates herself to sound art and music for a limited time, she has already exhibited in a number of important institutions (Institute of Contemporary Art Newton in Sydney, S A V V Y Contemporary in Berlin, KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin), she performed at a number of festivals (Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria, Electronic Music Week in Shanghai and CTM in Berlin) and participated at sound installation for the German pavilion at the International Biennale of Art in Berlin. In autumn 2019 she released her debut album with Important Records.

9T Antiope

The Iranian experimental duo 9T Antiope is characterised by their multi-layered compositions made of dense electro-acoustic music by Nima Aghiani and crystal-clear singing of Sara Bigdeli Shamloo.

Since then they have released another four LPs, including three albums acclaimed by music critics and released at the course of nine months in 2019. 9T Antiope presented their work at genre-related music festivals such as Sonic Art in Amsterdam (2019), CTM in Berlin (2019) and Mutek in Barcelona (2018).
