Hanoi ° Berlin is a unique cultural encounter of ten composer-performers, five from each city.
They are exploring a wide variety of backgrounds and approaches to experimental and improvised music within a line up focussing on string instruments and percussion - from traditional Western and Vietnamese to custom-built instruments and the use of extended techniques - combined with analog and digital electronics.
The concerts present composed pieces for the full 10-piece ensemble - by Kim Ngoc Tran, Andrea Neumann and Burkhard Beins - based on compositional drafts by legendary Vietnamese avantgarde artist Vu Dan Tan. But also several smaller constellations will be presented on each night, from live-electronics duo and percussion trio to mid-sized electro-acoustic groupings.
