SATURDAY April 19th
at 7 p.m. [doors at 6.30]
Emilio Gordoa, Josten Myburgh and Sabine Vogel are three musicians with a shared interest in improvising “as weather”: playing with and as the sounds of the environment. Based between Mexico, Boorloo and Germany, they work experimentally with percussion, saxophone, flutes, electro-acoustic extensions of these instruments, and location recordings.
Their project “Tracing presence on land” is a sonic-musical diary of their long collaboration, carrying the stories and echoes of the places they have worked in together, immersed in the sonic cultures of their birthplaces and homes - Noongar Boodja, Cuernavaca, Paretz, Bavaria and Berlin. Sharing time together in culturally and ecologically rich settings in these places, they imagine music that respects land and origin, and the complex ways this is entangled in their collective sounding. Equally important is the depth of trust and friendship that allows their distinct approaches to gesture & tonality to be held together. Their collaborations extend over a decade across projects including Splitter Orchester, Mahagonny, Land Stages, and countless others. Having already performed as a trio in Germany, 2025 will see them tour internationally together through Aotearoa and Australia.
