\nBEAM SPLITTER<\/strong><\/p>\n

Audrey Chen<\/strong> (Stimme) & <\/span>Henrik Munkeby N\u00f8rsteb\u00f8<\/strong> (Posaune)<\/span><\/p>\n

Audrey Chen (US) and Henrik Munkeby N\u00f8rsteb\u00f8 (NO) is a duo for amplified voice, trombone and analog electronics based in Berlin, Germany. Through numerous performances in a wide range of spaces, contexts and collaborations, they have developed a unique brand of highly amplified dialog, which is as intimate as it is equal amounts raw and entirely exposed. The duo have toured extensively across five continents since 2015, joining together their two individual voices into a distinct language that delves beyond the borders of the corporeal elements of un-processed voice and trombone, while utilizing analog electronics to offset their hyper extended physical play.<\/p>\n

Their latest duo album „SPLIT JAW“ was released on Nat Baldwin’s Tripticks Tapes in 2023. This bite size format packs an entire universe of their crafted sputter, breath and glitch inside its forty-five minute magnetic tape loop. The album is one third introspective Berlin studio production and the rest, live from a splintering concert given at Wels Unlimited Festival in Austria, their last concert of 2022 where audience and the duo alike giving it their all center of room, split open like hollow bones head to clavicle, muscles twitching and air spewing, breaking ground and mending it with alien hums. Further recent releases include \u201cBeauties\u201d (2023) with L\u00f8nning and Reinertsen, and \u201cWrists out\u201d (2024) with Phil Minton. Since 2020, the pair have been organizing Dedicated play, an artistic and curatorial platform fostering community building and genre-breaking intersections of experimental musicians and artists from a diversity of social, cultural, and musical backgrounds. The project has taken shape as a concert series in collaboration with Morphine Raum (Berlin), an online album presentation, a festival in Berlin and London co-curated with Hyunhye Angela Seo (Xiu Xiu), and select satellite events.<\/p>\n

BEAM SPLITTER have taken part in larger commissioned works at the Teatro Col\u00f3n, Buenos Aires and largely conceptualized a theatrical adaptation of MEDEA in front of the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv, Ukraine (for butoh dancers and musicians) produced by the Ukho Agency. Festival\/venue performances include Sonoscopia (Porto), National Museum of Natural History (Kyiv), Issue Project Room (New York City), Festival Music Unlimited (Wels), Avant Art Festival (Warsaw+Wroclaw), Mayhem (Copenhagen), Trigger (Shanghai), Nameless Sound (Houston), Zebulon (Los Angeles), Gogolfest (Kyiv), Kongsberg jazz festival, Simultan festival (Timi\u0219oara), Morphine Raum (Berlin), The Lab (San Francisco), CCRMA Stanford university, Asphalt Festival (D\u00fcsseldorf), Fylkingen (Stockholm), Tiehua Music Village (Taitung), Teatro Col\u00f3n (Buenos Aires), Audio Foundation (Auckland), Send+Receive (Winnipeg) and M\u00e9t\u00e9o Mulhouse Music Festival.<\/p>\n
