Call me the breeze

This evening, among other activities in the city and because tomorrow is a bank holidaw, we go out. My friend S. is a fan of Ben Gwilliam and suggested that we all meet at the tonight's concert at the theaterkapelle. It's good, It's round the corner so even if we don't like, we still can go in a bar having drinks waiting for the other. Ben Gwilliam (b 1980) is a sound artist and improvising musician currently based in the UK. He describes his practice as drawing attention to those sounds between things, be it objects, spaces or recordings. It is these sounds and their contexts that reveal visual and musical processes of listening and looking. It is from this curiosity about sound-making/recording/finding and how abstract/descriptive that sounds can be, that he makes parallels and similarities unpicking the relationship between those uncovered sounds and moments of primary experience. Since 2003, his music has been developing an improvisational relationship with open reel magnetic tape, inherent magnetics and prepared sound recordings, exploring decay, silence and harmonics in solo and collaborative arrangements. Ben Gwilliam will play duo with Michael Vorfeld, born 1956, who works as musician and visual artist based in Berlin. He plays percussion and self designed stringed instruments. The combination of these instruments with various and unusual playing techniques, allows him to create an exceptional variety of sounds. Michael Vorfeld works as an improvisor, composer and sound artist and is often involved in site specific art projects. His visual works are focusing on the use of light in relation to architecture. Besides solo activities he is a member of various ensembles and collaborates with artists of different art forms. Let's be tempted.
