MILENA GEORGIEVA aka YUZU

Milena Georgieva aka Yuzu is a composer and transdisciplinary artist, born in Sofia and based in Vienna. Guided by a fluid, unbound sense of music and listening she explores sound as an ever unfolding, organic matter. Her fascination with music is it’s capacity to be simultaneously a collective and radically intimate experience. There she sees the possibility to grow unexpected relationships and enter impossible places - utopias. Symbiosis understood as — both emergence and coexistence lies at the core of her current compositional — and collaborative work with choirs and ensembles. She interlaces diverse musical practices like improvisation and score, modular and digital sound design, live- processing, experimental and extended instrumental, vocal and recording techniques. By engaging noise, texture, and grip as auditory sensations of materiality, alongside processual and space-activating aspects like acoustic dimensionality, phasing, resonance-dissonance and polytemporality she sets in motion complex and multidimensional bodies of sound.

GEORG ZICHY

Georg Zichy is a sound, clang, rattle, screech and noise artist. In his solo practice, he performs with found objects and electronics: containers, tablets, bins, ducts, rods, etc are acoustically scratched, bowed and hammered, then electronically amplified, distorted, and fed back.
The object does not merely become an instrument or resonating body, it elevates the relationships between the resulting sound, the emitting body, the performer and listener. Does the object define the sound or the intention of the performer? Is it perceived as a musical sound or as a noise? Is there a difference?
Zichy lives and works as a freelance artist and musician in Vienna, moving between noise, free improvisation, and a phenomenology of sounds.

WINTERREISE
Oliver Welter & Clara Frühstück

Oliver Welter, musician and singer with the iconic Austrian band NAKED LUNCH, joined forces with pianist, sound artist, and performance artist Clara Frühstück for this euphoric border-crossing collaboration.
Commissioned by the Burgtheater, the result is a radical yet emotionally moving reinterpretation of Franz Schubert’s song cycle “Winterreise,” which was celebrated with prolonged standing ovations and enthusiastic media coverage at its world premiere in June 2021 at the Akademietheater.
Perhaps this marks a turning point in the reception of this existential masterpiece by Franz Schubert and Wilhelm Müller, whose eerily beautiful essence Welter and Frühstück explore with a deepened understanding of pop music and passionate precision. A moving journey straight into the dark soul of the
world’s most famous song cycle.

ROUGE
Isabelle Duthoit & Yuko Oshima & Soizic Lebrat

The trio of clarinettist and vocalist Isabelle Duthoit, percussionist Yuko Oshima and cellist Soizic Lebrat works in the tradition of free improvised music. A fine sense of sound and slow, subtle lines of development characterise the ideally complementing interplay of these three outstanding musicians. At the same time, prudence and boisterous energy are not mutually exclusive. As is generally the case in improvisation, this trio also depends to a large extent on the personalities of the players, who develop their own expression while at the same time having the ability to congenially engage with the characteristics and impulses of the others. Their playing seems to follow a secret, unspoken dramaturgy. Listening to each other and giving the sounds their space is crucial: music as a non-standardised ritual, born of the moment.
