Natalie Peters ( D/CH) / Locarno ist eine Vokalistin für improvisierte Musik, Performerin und Kuratorin Sie erforscht die menschliche Stimme in ihren einfachsten und extravagantesten Ausdrucksformen.
Die spontane, unvorhersehbare und verspielte Natur in der improvisierten Musik erlaubt ihr, einen lebendigen künstlerischen Ausdruck zu finden, der die surreale, nicht direkt greifbare Seite der menschlichen Existenz ins Bewusstsein rückt. In ihrer Musik sucht sie Präsenz und eine natürliche Kommunikation, die unkonventionelle und überraschende Möglichkeiten erlaubt und Grenzen auslotet.
Das Hören einer menschlichen Stimme, lässt uns unweigerlich mit ihr in Kontakt treten und im eigenen Körper räsonieren, denn jeder Muskeln hat ein Gedächtnis für ihre biologische Funktion. Natalie versucht Musik und Leben zu einer Geschichte zu verschmelzen, die nicht dazu da ist entschlüsselt zu werden, sondern tiefere menschliche Geheimnisse anspricht.
In ihren Solokonzerten kreiert sie durch direkte Resonanz mit Umfeld, Publikum und sich selbst eine Präsenz, die mit zeitlichen Vorstellungen spielt. Erinnern, Vergessen, Visionen und Bedingungen sind für sie Zustände, die sie durch den ungewöhnlichen, aber präzisen Gebrauch ihrer Stimme bewusst berührt und erneut ins Bewusstsein integriert.
Ihr aktuellen Projekte sind das Duo Sara Käser / Natalie Peters, das Duo Sebi Tramontana/ Natalie Peters, das Quartett SYNC und das Ensemble Sous-Sol, das sie in Locarno leitet.
Sie spielte an Festivals wie Archipel Festival Genève, La Fête a Bruit, Biel, Performance Festival Oerlikon, Zürich, Filmpodium Zürich, BangBang Social Elegance, Museum Tinguelly Basel etc.
Sie arbeitet kontinuierlich in verschiedenen Projekten mit Künstlern und Kollektiven wie Sebastian Strinning, Jacek Chmiel, Yara Li Mennel, Sebi Tramontana, Sara Käser, Thomas
Rohrer, Alfred Zimmerlin, Heike Fiedler, Amin Alavi, Caroline Tallone, PANCH, Collettivo Conserere, Casa Stanata u.a.
Als Kuratorin gestaltet sie die Musikreihe „ Frequenze Libere“ in Locarno. Sie ist Initiatorin des Kulturvereins und Networks Carovana091.

Andreas Voccia (formerly Kittel)
Born 1982 in Munich, lives and works since 2011 in Berlin.
He is a musician and video artist based in Berlin.
Originally a trained guitar player, he now works with a modular synthesizer to implement compositional practices from contemporary classical music in an improvisational and responsive environment.
Besides his solo work, he is currently involved in several projects with musicians from the experimental and free jazz scenes.
In his music he looks into abstract principles like movement, pattern, space, time, and how everything is interwoven with each other through resonance processes, in order to approach the fundamental question of the nature/essence of Reality.
His main interest is to find in all the complex systems a poetic view which aims to draw out the tension betweeen the inside and the outside.
