:::::: MPercussion & Emse Patu ::::::
MPercussion & Emse Patu sind zwei Potsdamer Musiker, die mit Live Electronics, Cello und akustisch gespielter Percussion ein Klangbild zeichnen, welches im Moment entsteht. Sie führen einen situativen Dialog zwischen sich und dem Raum.
Die Zusammenarbeit der beiden Künstler führt auf ständig neue Wege und ist geprägt durch eine Menge Experimentierfreudigkeit.
Eine Mischung aus atmosphärischen Sounds und Rhythmen lassen nicht nur die Akteure sondern auch die Zuhörer:innen in einen tiefen Kosmos tauchen und so Teil des
Ganzen werden.
:::::: Brueder Selke ::::::
The award-winning East Berlin-born, Potsdam-based, polyinstrumental composer duo Brueder Selke (CEEYS), with Sebastian Selke on cello and his brother Daniel Selke on piano, is continuously expanding the repertoire of its two main instruments and, as independent curator, regularly presents boutique musical happenings.
In their work, they create a profoundly experimental yet accessible tonality between avant-garde & pop which intelligently incorporates dynamically manipulated and processed acoustic & electronic elements of classical chamber music, free jazz, cinematic ambient pads, abstract noise and dignified chill-out sounds. Ultimately it is encounters & exchanges with like-minded friends and renowned fellow artists that inspired them to their own concert formats such as the Q3Ambientfest.
Their subtle releases and performances regularly receive outstanding praise from press & audiences alike. They can be found on 1631 Recordings, Neue Meister, Oscarson, 7K!, Lady Blunt Records, Bigo & Twigetti, Flower Myth, Piano & Coffee Records, Gregory Euclide’s “Thesis Project”, and Canadian audio technology pioneer LandR. Their music has also featured in documentaries and on television (e.g. the German crime series “Tatort”), on theatre stages, and in collaborations with contemporary dance companies – most recently on the four-part Arte documentary “Project Enlightenment” on the historic turning point. They can be found digitally worldwide, and are available physically on vinyl, CD, and cassette. While “The Grunewald Church Session” & “Concrete Fields” are distributed digitally worldwide through Decca Publishing, “Wænde” & “Hiddensee”, “Hausmusik” & “Musikhaus”, and “Marienborn”, are published by Kick The Flame in Leipzig.
Collaborations with renowned fellow musicians, labels, audio technology companies, and orchestras have been preserved on numerous productions. These include Ólafur Arnalds & Spitfire Audio, Erased Tapes’ “1+1=X”, Masayoshi Fujita, LandR, and the Filmorchester Babelsberg.
Brueder Selke have also performed as reliable instrumentalists at venues and studios all over the world, for example at Konzerthaus & Funkhaus, Radialsystem & Vox-Ton Studio, from the Berlin Philharmonie & the Hansa Studios to the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, Munich’s Gasteig & Prinzregententheater, London’s Barbican & Southbank, as well as Walt Disney Hall in LA. With their album “Wænde”, they toured in 2018 throughout Europe and played festivals such as Fusion and Reeperbahn. They finished their tour in 2019 with select shows on the West Coast of the United States. They also played a virtual concert at the WOMEX 2021 in Porto.
In 2017, the brothers won the Rilke Special Award at the international Art Visuals & Poetry Film Festival in Vienna for their experimental short film “Rilke Ueberoffen”. In 2021, Brueder Selke received a grant from the state of Brandenburg to expand their Klingenthal Studio.
The duo’s creative process over the years has shaped the way Brueder Selke meet today’s polarized world, which is why their creative urge is also informed by current issues.
“The themes of our releases draw, above all, from encounters and exchanges with friends, colleagues, and our listeners around the globe. They are the result of lived experiences.”
New music and projects are set for release in 2023.
