Novemberstimmung tomorrow
Last call for the next Novemberstimmung, only every 2 years.
This time Brueder Selke (CEEYS) sharing the stage with Linda Rum and Eric Maltz.
... every two years it is time for a musical encounter of the experimental and the classical, between the avantgarde, ambient and pop.
When the year is coming to its end we are surrounded by that typical Novemberstimmung, it is time for a musical encounter of the experimental and the classical, between the avantgarde, ambient and pop.
This infamous night – carefully curated by Brueder Selke, the East Berlin-born brothers, now Potsdam-based poly-instrumental composers and curators Sebastian and Daniel Selke, also known as award-winning cello-piano duo CEEYS, founders of Q3Ambientfest – invites open-minded music lovers to meet a remarkable handpicked selection of established and aspiring contemporary performers.
What is more, the event aims to establish a special bond between artists, audience and the fading year.
“The 11th month of year is one filled with melancholy, one in which personal experiences meet historical events – and so our encounter opens up space for everyone involved to find inspiration, dwell in the here and now, evaluate and appreciate and partake in a delicate sound experience against the backdrop of a colorful concert night.“ – Sebastian & Daniel, Brueder Selke
Line-Up
Linda Rum, Eric Maltz, & Brueder Selke (CEEYS)

Linda Rum
Eine Reise, das bedeutet auch immer etwas zurücklassen. Zu jedem High gehört auch mal ein Tief. Und trotzdem überwiegt bei Linda Rum in der Summe die Zuversicht und Lebensfreude. Das Geschichten Erleben, Erzählen und daran Wachsen.
Angefangen hat alles am Klavier – klassisch ausgebildet im Kindesalter. Dann kam der Gesang dazu, die Gitarre, die Orgel und das Songwriting.
Doch dabei ist es nicht geblieben. Die Dynamik ihrer Arbeit wird schon spürbar, wenn sie die Bühne betritt. Diese zierliche, auf den ersten Blick ruhige Erscheinung mit der alles vereinnahmenden Persönlichkeit und Ausstrahlung.
2023 erschien Linda Rums erstes Instrumental-Album “Friede” - vierzehn Songs aus dem Genre der Neoklassik, welche sich mal treibend, dann wieder ganz sanft und authentisch gefühlvoll darstellen.

Eric Maltz
Eric Maltz is a bricoleur and sound artist who combines land art, field recordings, filmic improvisations, and durational performance to create installations and experimental sound environments. His practice is rooted in the exploration and perception of time, dream study, and finding connections between disparate objects. Underlying all is the premise that sound is a vehicle for emotion.

Brueder Selke (CEEYS)
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, Peter Broderick & Daniel O’Sullivan, Erased Tapes’ 10th anniversary boxset “1+1=X” with Kiasmos & Högni and Masayoshi Fujita, Midori Hirano, 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 2022, Brueder Selke received a further grant from the Ministry of Science, Research and Culture of 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 & exchanges with friends, colleagues, and our listeners around the globe. They are the result of lived experiences of a childhood in the East Berlin Plattenbau, behind the Berlin Wall.”
– Sebastian & Daniel Selke, Brueder Selke (CEEYS)
