Koncert : Virtaranta Okuda Berger Trio + Joey Molinaro – Solo
V goste prihaja eden izmed centralnih motorjev domače neodvisne scene – Jaka Berger. Tokrat v družbi dveh odličnih improvizatorjev s katerima se je ujel v Berlinu – Antti Virtaranta in Rieko Okuda. Triu pa se s solo nastopom pridružuje še ameriški posebnež Joey Molinaro z violino.
VIRTARANTA OKUDA BERGER TRIO
Trio je nastal po srečanju v Berlinu na festivalu Multiversal v letu 2014. Na festivalu se je trio ujel v zvočenju godal in prepariranega seta bobnov, ki vsebuje strune in lokovane činele. Po dobrem letu dni in namenu da trio nadgradi svoje zvočenje, bo to priložnost dobil na treh nastopih na domačih odrih.
Jaka Berger je že leta eden tistih centralnih motorjev domače neodvisne scene, brez katerih si težko predstavljamo tako njeno javno podobo kot njeno aktivno drobovje. Znotraj vrste mlajših kreativcev gre v njegovem primeru nedvomno za prototipsko pojavo, za pobudnika, ki koplje v vse pore telesa nekomercialne kulture. V prvi vrsti ga seveda poznamo kot glasbenika – bobnarja in zvočnega raziskovalca, vendar je že zgodaj moral večkrat z glavo skozi zidove svojih okolij, tako da ga je nuja oblikovala tudi v organizatorja dogodkov, založnika, radijskega sodelavca, v zaganjalca aktivnih prostorov ter skupnosti.

JOEY MOLINARO
After over 700 performances in four years of “twisting and warping minds in different cities” (Decibel Magazine) Pittsburgh-based acoustic experimental black metal/ solo grind violinist Joey Molinaro’s “stomping and ferocious playing is inescapable,” (Foxy Digitalis).
Molinaro “executes the spirit and function of hardcore punk and Appalachian folk” (Foxy Digitalis) with “vocals [that] haunt, like a preternatural voice from beyond the pale” (Razorcake) and torrential boot-stomping.
Many times his set is dominated by free-improvisations, a/v electronics, fully acoustic orchestrations, performance art, piano compositions, or poetry.
