The raw analog sounds of the KORG MS20, one of the iconic synthesizers of the 70s, meet in inherence with the digital-electronic sound of Pony Says. With a Yiran Zhao uses a common technique of classical Chinese art, the »empty space«, to create a new perception of musical material. Malte Giesen, on the other hand, takes apart the sound of hyper-materialism found in the cities of the Arab Emirates that have sprung up, attracting influencer fortune seekers, mindset business coaches and the digital nouveau-riche, and performs it ad absurdum. »TEMPLATES« are three approaches to sonic or visual (pop)cultural material.
The program is financed with the kind support of the
NEUSTART KULTUR ensemble support program of the German Music Council
