summary:
concert series on improvised music by makers of DIY concerts
Matthias Koole (guitar)
Lorena Izquierdo (voice)
Mizuki Ishikawa (feedback, electronics)
Doors open 19h | Concert+Talks 20h | Tickets (only at the door) from 10+ €

the long read:
It is not unusual, but rather the norm, that the people behind Berlin's DIY concert scene are musically active themselves. They are all united by their enthusiasm and willingness to take matters into their own hands. They strive to strengthen structures and shape culture, usually under very precarious conditions.
The concert series Frictive Frequencies now brings some of the cultural activists who usually work behind the scenes into the spotlight. Over the years, they have all developed remarkable forms of expression as artists, but have often taken a back seat in favor of their organizational activities.
Frictive Frequencies now brings the artistic side of the organizers to the fore, giving something back to this scene. The series sees itself not only as a forum for improvised music, but also as a place for communication and exchange about DIY practices. The invited guests present their own sound languages and share their experiences in artistic and organizational practice in short talks.
(will add bios when they all arrive. hopefully soon.)
In Matthias Koole’s avant-garde approach to the guitar, the instrument is manipulated with extended techniques and unconventional objects to summon dense structures. Expect bows, balloons, drumsticks and customized capos, no-input routing, or even the persistence of water from field recordings. All hope on chord progressions or expected harmonies should be left at the garderobe. He organizes profusely – concert series, festivals, record labels - in Brasil and Germany.

Mizuki Ishikawa is one of the most booked and solicited sound artist and improviser in both the Berlin Echtzeitmusik and DIY experimental scenes, and an established and reliable pilar of those communities, as an avid organizer and generous collaborator. She uses small rather spartanic set ups of self-built electronics, objects, feedback and minimal, sometimes unpredictable, but always decisive actions to remind the audience, wanting or not, of the space, spaciality and context we are all in.

Lorena Izquierdo - vocalist, performer, poet, and curator working at the intersection of experimental music, performance art, and philosophy. Originally from Valencia, Spain, and based in Berlin, she spent nearly a decade bridging the avant-garde DIY scenes in the two cities. Expect the defiance of action poetry - what she calls the brilliance of the monstrous, unbreakable restraint - and everyday objects contextualized in ways you never imagined possible!
