Upstream #7: SURGE

Ute Wassermann, Louise Vind Nielsen, bela Concert Series for New Music and Performance A sudden spike of voltage, a wave of intensity, a deluge of something uncontainable. This program presents three artists whose works surge with energy and ebb with silence. We begin - like a raincloud slowly opening - with vocalist Ute Wassermann. The German free improvisation icon will bring her concentrated vocal pitter-patter to the metallic guts of the Stubnitz, splashed through an assortment of objects and membranes. What follows is a set from Hamburg-based sound and performance artist Louise Vind Nielsen. In her practice, which combines poetry, mythology, psychology and sound, frenetic bursts of activity break with long periods of silence and soft synthetic vibrations in explorations of listening, perception and more-than-human relationships. The evening will conclude with the Berlin-based musician bela, whose latest album 'Noise and Cries (굉음과 울음)' for Berlin’s Subtext Recordings will flood out torrentially on-stage. As nihilism born out of a queer experience of precarity living in South Korea transmutes into a desperate will to live, bela’s rasping screams, torchlight and deluges of noise drag the audience through a tumultuous odyssey of the soul.
