Column One, das Dada-Kollektiv aus Berlin, wird eine Multimedia-Performance präsentieren, welche das Publikum überraschen wird. Das Schweizer Projekt Strøm wird seine pulsierende Klangflächen mit Klarinette und Elektronik auf die Bühne bringen und der österreichische Musiker Heribert Friedl wird fragile Soundminiaturen aus seinem Laptop zaubern. Ohren auf! Geräuschwelten wird gefördert durch das Kulturamt der Stadt Köln und ProHelvetia – Schweizer Kulturstiftung.
Künstler-Informationen
MICHEL HENRITZI + JUNKO
JUNKO “Sleeping Beauty” Elevage de Poussière. EPP09 LP
In October 2002, I met the Japanese noise band Hijokaïdan’s singer whose name is Junko and that came after having abruptly listened to „No Paris, No harm“ (album issued on the Alchemy label) about fifteen years sooner in an importing record shop. A record of such a radical exotism that it made tip up entire sections of my record collection directly into pop anecdotism, a literal rip of the hearing as, deeply tattooed in the wax, there was standing up this danger which was called, à corps et à cris, by the wild boys from London, Paris, Tokyo or Detroit. A black hole was growing up and what a good place to fall in. 1969, 1977 – back to the future -, a sleeping beauty torn from their scars as a wide opened wound to our times.
An incarnated scream into the fragile body of this woman standing in front of us, on the other side of the glass of the recording studio cabin. A smile – cut – her voice as if it was switched „on“, she looks lost in her swallow holes but is doing it easy as she was just snapping her fingers. She seems yet impassive and still when facing the microphone as if she was detached from her scream, out of reach, as if her voice was unglued and apart from a body leading its own story. Screams, howlings from her expulsed voice as an „out of“ but into the night and the brouillard of noise. A looped scene from an horror film, her opened mouth filling the frame, long scream – cut – black. An hysterical no-diva reeling off a story about the unspeakable for some unspeakable monsters might have filled her childish nightmares, if not why these screams?
Such a fucking poetry of the gap, something very close to Yoko Ono’s orgasmic vocalisations, to Diamanda Galas menstrual glossolalias, to Linda Sharrock’s sexual negritude. What a free from the ritornello free music, what a totally free chant, so let the listener go through to it and let him free to listen to „that“. To that psychanalists’s id, to the trouble Eros, to the perforated tongue from the pornographic body. It surely takes a lot of perversity to get submitted to that. To that improbable soundtrack from a porno film which would look like some inverted movie, like some black pictures. It surely takes a lot of terror to listen to that voice but you may call it beauty. Because that voice deals with some wonderful confusion (something between pleasure and pain), that indiscernible space due to the man who lays upon a woman. A frightening paroxystical flow. Almost endless quavering deep into the dyslexic monstrous climbing up to inhuman shrills voice, held close by the auditory pain. Her chant as a desiring machine one more time building up some unspeakable, some terror so. A chant coming from the pleased or from the suffering body.
Junko made a poem out of the scream which gets the atom particles speed and its dread too that is grinding both the word and the meaning. Hop ! Got free from the semiotic chain, as the rising of an organless body among the small world of music – try to imagine the neighbourhood terror – but imagine that this scream was calling us : did you hear something ?
Since all that, I am listening to Hijokaïdan in a loop for techno has not yet discovered the power of the overthrow from the noise sound but just only its metric, its nights sequencing and its wall paper function. Here it’s a buoying and final outing of the chill out.

STRØM
Gaudenz Badrutt, Pianist und Elektronikmusiker (*1972) und Christian Müller (*1971), Klarinettist, elektronischer Musiker und Komponist. Beide studierten an der Hochschule für Musik und Theater Bern/Biel und sind doppelt diplomiert. Die kontinuierliche und langjährige Zusammenarbeit der beiden Musiker hat zu einer äusserst persönlichen musikalischen Sprache des Duos geführt. In ihren Performances spiegelt sich im Prozess der Klangsuche eine besondere musikalische Qualität wieder, welche einen auffallend instrumentalen Charakter im Umgang mit elektronischen Mitteln aufweist. Die beiden Bieler Musiker verbinden verschiedene musikalische Ingredienzen: elektro-akustische Improvisation trifft auf Konzeptmusik, Ideen Neuer Musik auf Noise-Ausbrüche, dichte Klangwände auf minimalistische Klangcollagen.
Neben der Konzerttätigkeit im In- und Ausland (u.a. am Taktlos Festival Bern, Norbergfestival, Transmediale Berlin) – im Duo wie auch mit anderen Musikern (Hans Koch, Martin Schütz, Burkhard Beins, Clayton Thomas, Urs Leimgruber, Jacques Demierre, Tomas Korber…) – betätigt sich strøm auch im Rahmen von Theatermusik (Stuttgart, Wien, Bern, Dresden, Mainz) und Installationen. 2004 gewannen sie als erstes elektronisches Ensemble den 1.Preis am Concours de Reding, dem Improvisationswettbewerb des Schweizerischen Tonkünstlervereins, 2006 verbrachte sie ein Werksemester auf der nordnorwegischen Lofoteninsel Vestvågøy.
