So pleased to welcome PITCH SHIFTING to erweitert in the REH on the 12th Nov!

Pitch Shifting is an experimental audio-visual collaboration founded in 2019 by experimental musician Grgur Savic and media artist Sanja Star. Driven by the forces of music and design, science and technology, physicality and perception, the duo explores new ways to create, perform and experience music. Pitch Shifting create media that reflects their experiences and perspectives, never rooted in a single musical genre or visual language, but rather fostering empathy, communication, and understanding across different cultures, perspectives, and aesthetic backgrounds.
Pitch Shifting has collaborated with numerous artists through a multitude of conceptual and creative performances – Richard Scott, Rieko Okuda, Samuel Hall, Ute Wassermann, Emilio Gordoa, Sofia Borges, Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø, Daniel Craig, Tomomi Adachi,Nicolas Collins to name a few.

Next Tuesday at the REH. Edith Steyer and Dr. Nexus work in the broad field of experimental improvisation. The intensive exchange of sometimes prepared saxophone and sometimes electronically processed voice can lead to surprising sound moments, but also to explosive outbursts that originate from noise music. The two musicians are part of the Berlin Echt-zeit music scene and play together in Dr. Nexus' Ultimate Bruital Orchestra.

RaumErweiterungsHalle (REH) is a charming relic of the times, built in the 1960’s DDR as an expandable / contractible multipurpose room, it breathes in a new wind every time it finds an application. An ice cream parlor, a gallery, and even a Kindergarten were some of its applications. The current enactment is a showroom for upcycled furniture, creations of Ulf Geyersbach, who kindly opened the doors for us to host the events. We are especially pleased with the acoustics of the distinctive architecture, and curate a concert series for this accordion house, featuring Berlin’s fluid Improv scene with a focus on chamber musical approaches. The interference and play with the features of the room gives music space to expand freely. Join us for the next ‘erweitert in der REH’ to open up your ears to the sounds of extended techniques and non-comformotive sounds.

Erweitert in der REH is an initiative led by Ligia Liberatori and Isabel Rößler in partnership with Sorora e.V. ( / https://sorora.org/ ) and Ulf Geyersbach / (https://geyersbach.com/).

Ada Rave (1974, Comodoro Rivadavia), is an Argentinian saxophonist, improviser and composer. Ada’s instrumental approach is based on research into a wide variety of techniques, conventional and unorthodox, which allow her to create a highly personal narrative in real time composition.

Ligia Liberatori a singer, improviser, performer, composer and clowness. Her specialities are the extended techniques, and the relationship between music and movement. Besides the currently experimental and extended vocal techniques, like multiphonics, circular singing, frys, ululation, inhales an glottal clicks, She had developed special techniques like flaggiolets, high multiphonics and chord singing.

Elisabetta Lanfredini is a singer, sound artist, performer, vocal coach and researcher; born in Siena-Italy, currently based in Berlin.

Rodrigues and Rodrigues will perform at the upcoiming erweitert in der REH! Tuesday, 15th Oct at Raumerweiterungshalle📍

Ernesto Rodrigues, Viola
Guilherme Rodrigues, Cello

Guilherme Rodrigues is a cellist, improviser, sound explorer and composer from Lisboa, Portugal. With an intuitive approach to improvisation and exploration of the timbres, using both classical and extensive techniques, his music is exciting, polyrhythmic and full of contrasts. His work probes the physicality of the space in which listening occurs. His music, comprising both acoustic and electro-acoustic works, has been described as delicate, intense, focused and physical.

Ernesto Rodrigues has been playing the violin for 40 years and in that time has played all genres of music ranging from contemporary music to free jazz and free improvisation, live and in the studio. The relationship with his instruments is focused in sonic and textural elements as well as the use of extended techniques. Electronic music was an early influence on his approach to violin playing, which challenges traditional romantic concepts of the violin and viola through use of preparations and micro tuning.

04/10/2024

The upcoming erweitert in der REH invites the Rodrigues strings duo, and two sets by the interdisciplinary performance group Ziiiinnnnggg!!!. Ernesto and Guilherme Rodrigues share a rich history of collaboration and have been influencing each other ever since the younger Rodrigues was born. Ziiiinnnnggg is the meeting point between comic and music. The comic illustrator Xueh Magrini Troll and Live Videographer Carolina Boettner collaborates with singer and performer Ligia Liberatori, cellist Hui-Chun Lin, Ada Rave on Sax and Elisabetta Lanfredini’s vocals to create a sensation to see and hear.

Performing at the REH, September 3rd.

Victoria Alexandrova - Sruti Box, Table top violin
Lucio Capece - Sruti Box, Khene.

Victoria Alexandrova is a Berlin-based artist with a diverse background in visual arts, collaborates with renowned experimental musician Lucio Capece in a performance featuring the interplay of Shruti boxes, Khene, and a tabletop violin. Capece, known for his innovative use of sound and space, complements Victoria's explorations with his mastery of wind instruments. Together, they create an immersive auditory experience that reflects their shared interest in the intersection of tradition and modernity.

Lucio Capece is an Argentinian musician based in Berlin since 2004. Active since the late 90 ́s as an Improviser-New Music performer, he dedicates since 2010 to offer works focused in the Perception experience, that he performs mainly in solo and in the context of occasional collaborations based in the same interest. He composes his own pieces that may include improvisation and different ways of writing. He uses tools like Flying Speakers hanging from Helium Balloons moved by propellers, Speakers as Pendulums, Analog synthesiser, Sine Waves and Noise Generators, Drum Machines, Ultra- Violet Lights, Sensors, Khene, as much as the instruments that he has played for 25 years: Bass Clarinet and Soprano and Slide Saxophone. In the last 5 years Capece has developed projects in the context of what he considers a Phenomenology of Music making, that intends to offer music that wonders in what makes of music something enjoyable only as music can be. In this context he has developed several bands like Rahma Quartet, FS5 Quintet, Lost Jockey trio and duos with Katie Porter, Monika Zyla and Victoria Alexandrova.
Beyond instrumentation and tools, the main intention is to focus in the physical-social-spatial human experience.
