SOMMERJAZZ @ KONCERTKIRKEN

Ute Wassermann, Lotte Anker, Magda Mayas (DE/DK)

Ute Wassermann: voc,objects (DE)
Lotte Anker: saxofoner (DK)
Magda Mayas: piano (DE)

Wassermann, Anker & Mayas: trio bestående af tre fremtrædende musikere/
komponister på den Europæiske scene for eksperimenterende musik og lydkunst.
W, A & M’s musik udfolder sig i et flydende spændingsfelt mellem fri improvisation og
lydkunst hvor udforskning af lyd og opbygning af transcenderende og eventyrlige, soniske
verdener er udgangspunkt.
Koncerten er desuden en oplagt lejlighed til at høre Ute Wassermann i København, hvor
hun sjældent har spillet på trods af indirekte relationer til Danmark.
Wassermann er forhenværende studerende hos Henning Christiansen på Hochschule für
Bildende Kunst Hamburg. Hun har opført talrige af hans værker og bla medvirket i
koncertforestillingen Reality is Around the Corner på Henning Christiansen udstillingen
Freedom is Around the Corner i New York oktober 2018.

Ute Wassermann
Ute Wassermann, voice artist, composer, improvisor is known for her extraordinary, many-voiced
and extreme vocal sound-language, which she brings into experimental/contemporary music in
diverse ways. Wassermann is engaged in the areas of composition, improvisation and
performance / sound art: she takes the voice beyond itself, extends her voice using bird whistles,
speaker objects, resonators, field recordings, multi-channel- diffusion and light (with Michael
Vorfeld).
Numerous performances in festivals, galleries and clubs throughout Europe, Australia, Mexico,
Brazil and Asia. Performances with different bands and adhoc with musicians like Phil Minton,
Thomas Lehn, Martin Blume, John Russel, Raed Yassin, Mazen Kerbaj, Michael Vorfeld, Andrea
Neumann, Sabine Ercklentz and many others. Recent commissions for compositions by Ryogoku
Art Festival, University of Amsterdam, Poetica Sonora / Mexico City, Transart Festival and Festival
Eclat. She has received several grants like a residency at the Civitella Ranieri Foundation in 2015.

Magda Mayas
Over the past 20 years she developed a vocabulary utilizing both the inside as

well as the exterior parts of the piano, using amplification, preparations and
objects that become extensions of the instrument itself.
Mayas explores textural, linear sound collage, and has developed a set of
techniques that draw on the history of prepared and inside piano vocabulary, but
are highly individualized and expand the language for internal piano music
making.
Mayas performs internationally solo and in collaboration with a large number of
musicians and composers.
Current projects are “Spill”with drummer Tony Buck, a duo with
Christine Abdelnour (sax) and “Great Waitress”, a trio with Monika Brooks (acc)
and Laura Altman (cl).
Magda Mayas has performed and toured in Europe, the USA, Australia, Mexico
and Lebanon and collaborated with many leading figures in improvisation and
composers such as John Butcher, Andy Moor, Eddie Prévost, Phill Niblock, Zeena
Parkins, Hamid Drake, Joelle Leandre, Paul Lovens, Ikue Mori, Andrea Neumann and Axel
Dörner
