Hörbar: Gajek / Felix Kubin Doors 19:00 Concerts 20:00 Gajek Gajek's compositions break open modern genres in oscillating textures of high-energy digital production. Born in the GDR, his music creates space for the emotional echoes of ruptures and discontinuities: Music that is interested in unclear timelines, grief and ecstasy, forgotten youth cultures, hidden fashion codes, personal tragedies and strange haircuts. Since 2014, Gajek has released five studio albums on labels such as STROOM, Infinite Greyscale, Throttle Records and others. He composes music for film, theater, exhibitions and performances, most recently for the critically acclaimed film ‐„Die Ermittlung“ by RP Kahl and the award-winning short film „Es gibt keine Angst“ by Anna Zett. In 2022, Gajek launched the mix series Socialist Realness on the British radio station Resonance Extra, which focuses on electronic music produced in the GDR and shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Gajek has performed at numerous international venues and festivals, including CTM Festival, Berghain, Printworks London, Traumabar and Kino, ADE Amsterdam, Melt Festival, MIT Massachusetts Institute of Technology and many more. Gajek lives and works in Berlin. https://stroomtv.bandcamp.com/album/cutting-together-apart Felix Kubin Felix Kubin is a composer, creator of radio plays, performer, media artist and curator. A lovechild of the home recording era (he started to compose electronic 4-track music at the age of 12), his activities span futurist pop, electroacoustic and chamber orchestra music, radio art, lecture performances and writing. In 1998 he founded his own record label Gagarin Records. Over the last two decades, he has released numerous albums of different conceptual formats and played at well over hundred international contemporary music festivals. The French film artist Marie Losier ("The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye") has shot an award-winning docu-phantasma about him that premiered at Locarno film festival in 2019 and has been shown on ARTE TV and film festivals worldwide. Felix Kubin likes to move between high and low culture, clubs and concert halls, as his main concern is the shifting of contexts and expectations. http://felixkubin.com
