Growing up in South Korea was difficult for the young Sun-Mi Hong, intent on a musical path but experiencing restrictions and negativity. Drumming became a refuge, a place to escape to. It took over her life and became an obsession for her. The sound and energy was a huge inspiration and helped channel the emotions she was feeling.

Das Regensburger Vokalensemble StimmGold bringt mit seinem Projekt konkrete Folgen des menschenverursachten Klimawandels in der Region Oberpfalz/Bayern mit Hilfe von 15 Auftragskompositionen mit Vokalwerken des oberpfälzischen Komponisten Max Reger in Verbindung. Als Kompositionsgrundlage dienten den KomponistInnen Textfragmente und Kompositionen zu Natur und Lebensraum von Max Reger (in Kooperation mit dem Max-Reger-Institut Karlsruhe) sowie Bilder und Beschreibungen einzelner Pflanzen, Tiere oder ganzer Landschaftszüge aus der Oberpfalz, die im Laufe der letzten 150 Jahre dem Klimawandel zum Opfer gefallen sind. Grundlage hierfür waren die Roten Listen des Bayerischen Landesamts für Umwelt, die den Rückgang von Arten (Pflanzen & Tiere) konkret aufzeigen und somit die Gefährdung der biologischen Vielfalt Bayerns in den letzten 150 Jahren dokumentierten.

“Veni, vola, veni” is Stick&Bow’s third album. After having recorded works by Bach in collaboration with harpsichordist Luc Beauséjour, they now tackle tango with the master Gustavo Beytelmann. Working with Beytelmann was an immense privilege for both musicians, who readily admit that this experience will be a milestone in their career and that it changed their vision of tango, while deepening their knowledge of this style of music. The result is there and no one doubts that the realization of “Veni, vola, veni” gives them wings for the future…

Susana López returns to Elevator Bath with the follow-up to her critically acclaimed album, “Crónica de un secuestro” (2020). That release showcased López’s refined approach to audio exploration, which predominantly utilizes field recordings, electronically generated sounds, and layers of vocal harmonics. With “The Edge of the Circle,” similar techniques have been employed, but the final product is an altogether more ominous affair, relying heavily on atmosphere in the creation of dense clouds of hypnotic, foreboding sound.
