Sven Kacirek & Fhunyue Gao
»Hoya«, the first collaborative record from Fhunyue Gao and Sven Kacirek, is a site of encounters. There’s the encounter between two different media and artistic conceptions: Gao, on the one hand, a stage director | performer | musician based in Switzerland, a frequent collaborator of Annalena Fröhlich and Thom Luz, who works for a most colourful variety of venues all over Europe and is a member of the music association Bongo Joe. Kacirek, on the other, an established musician living between Hamburg and Kenya, with several releases on labels such as Honest Jon’s and Bureau B under his belt and an equally illustrious and diverse list of collaborators, among them Shabaka Hutchings, Ogoya Nengo, Marc Ribot, John McEntire, Hauschka and Nils Frahm.

What began with a chance encounter while working together on a dance project in the Netherlands, quickly became clear to the two of them as a shared musical sensitivity demanding further exploration. At the center of this stood an encounter between their instruments and the different modes of expression they afford: playing combinations of marimbas, drums, percussions, electronics, theremin, Buchla synthesizer, and piano, off-rehearsal sessions during Gao’s and Kacirek’s subsequent collaborations for theater continually grew in importance for the two of them.

When they decided to elaborate these explorations in a project entirely their own, the two of them locked themselves into Kacirek’s studio at Jaffestrasse in Hamburg, and started working on »Hoya«. Over the course of the LP’s 40-minute runtime, what once began as an unlikely meeting is presented as a playful, unpredictable, yet deeply developed and substantial affair. Sublime, ethereal layers of synth and theremin are counterpoised by delicate and shifty bouts of percussion. A labor of love that truly stands on its own.

JUNEE
Une rencontre entre un violon, un theremin, deux voix, deux synthétiseurs.
Une recherche intimiste sur la formation du duo, qui en miroir décolle dans des mondes imaginaires tantôt obscurs tantôt célestes. Entre expérimental et pop, le point de friction ouvre des mondes d’entre deux aux histoires mélodieuses, des non-lieux aux grincements sonores.

Le désir du projet est d’approfondir les facettes passionnantes qui sont spécifiques à la formation du duo. L’intense écoute tendue vers l’autre, les possibilités d’improvisation et d’accompagnement qui en découlent, la présence et le partage porté à deux. Pour cela la décision de limiter l’instrumentation: en miroir, chacune joue avec sa voix, un instrument monophonique et un synthétiseur.

La collaboration entre Fhunyue Gao et Zoé Sjollema a vu le jour en été 2020 lors d'une carte blanche proposée par Bongo Joe (CH), fusionnant leurs projets solos. Se rendant compte des affinités créatives et multidisciplinaires propres à leurs pratiques individuelles des arts de la scène, l’envie est née de créer ensemble sur le long terme. Après une résidence au théâtre 2.21 organisée par l’association du Salopard (CH), elles ont présenté une performance théâtrale autour du mouvement dans la musique. Puis l’aspect musical du duo s’est précisé lors d’un concert à la Cave 12 (CH) donnant vie au projet qui devint Junee. Le nom Junee est né en hommage d'un intense rencontre avec un arbre volant tombant du ciel sur la route lors d’une tempête orageuse, et rend hommage à ce jour de ratage fortuite que les deux partagent.

Citron Citron
Citron citron est un duo tout fresh de Genève entre chansons pop transcendantes et complaintes synthétiques. Voix, violon, synthés, guitare et boîte à rythmes s'envolent dans un écho infini. Leur futur premier album Chagrin bleu (Bongo Joe Records 2022) explore la mélancolie nocturne et la tristesse infinie. Des chansons aux refrains transcendants, et des complaintes synthétiques aux mélodies romantiques, portées par des rythmes aux airs de groove box. Un album aux frontières de la pop de chambre, des chants médiévaux et de l'ambiant. Les textes sont tantôt poétiques, venères ou rêveurs.

Jacques Foschia (be) clarinettes

Christoph Irmer (de) violon
Georg Wissel (de) clarinette, saxophone alto


Depuis plus de vingt ans, ce quatuor Belgo-Allemand enchante son public
avec de la musique raffinée, passionnée, variée et pleine d'humour que
l'ensemble transforme en direct/on the spot en une expérience unique et
incomparable.
Les quatre musiciens faisaient et font toujours partie de la scène international
de la musique improvisée contemporaine et puisent donc leur inspiration dans
les sources profondes de leur longue expérience et d'une palette très large de
possibilités de sons, allant des tons vers de bruits, vers une mélodie et vers
des formes musicales abstraites.

You are welcome,
