Program

Sun 18 Oct
Sun 18 Oct18 Oct 2026, 17:30Spazio Elle, Locarno, Piazza G. Pedrazzini 12, 6600 Locarno, SvizzeraAir Pressure is a live performance born from the dialogue between field recordings from Antarctica and experimental performance practices. The duo explores the physical presence of air, pressure, vibration, and resonance. The result is an improvised exchange between site-related sound materials and live gestures, through which environmental recordings are transformed into a dynamic and spatial sonic experience.
Sun 25 Oct25 Oct 2026, 17:30Spazio Elle, Locarno, Piazza G. Pedrazzini 12, 6600 Locarno, SvizzeraThe tanbur is a Turkish long-necked lute. Merve Salgar plays it from within its Ottoman tradition, yet with an experimental approach. Together with cellist Anil Eraslan, she explores the intersection of her Eastern roots and contemporary musical practice.

Natalie Peters’ voice, instruments, and electronics enter into an equal dialogue in which sound is understood as a fluid and constantly evolving material. Voice, instrument, and electronics interact on equal terms, forming a dynamic system where sonic matter is continuously reshaped in real time through improvisation.

Pedrazzini 12, 6600 Locarno, SvizzeraStrotter + Rotzler treat their instruments as bodies and objects, generating a continuous sonic flow that carries both performers and audience. Double bass and turntable are used non-conventionally and shaped through sonic research into layered, meandering textures.
