PASSIONATELY UNPREDICTABLE MUSIC THAT ESCAPES CLASSIFICATION FOR A COMMUNITY OF CURIOUS MINDS
fluid form club #9
A radical and telepathic duo. Geniuses of shape-shifting traditions. Transforming vocals, oud and trumpet with quadraphonic electronics.
KAMILYA JUBRAN &
WERNER HASLER
Musician, composer and one of the most revered figures for today’s younger generation of experimental and alternative Arabic music-scenes, Kamilya Jubran (text, oud & vocals, collaborates with long standing musical partner, composer, accomplished trumpet player and seasoned electronic musician Werner Hasler (trumpet & electronics).
Together, Kamilya Jubran and Werner Hasler unravel a musical universe of possibilities; a unison of timbres, cultures complementing, the complicity of verses, and modes and languages.
Lyrical, within a sound full of contrast and ornamentation, they pursue an expansion of their repertoire with imaginative interpretation and improvisation. Their long-standing musical pact has been nurtured since 2002, based on the probing and opening up of musical modes and traditions. The chemistry between Jubran and Hasler’s exchange gives birth to a singular, original and extratemporal sound.

Radically manipulated flutes, anarchic soprano vocals and analogue electronics
WITCH 'N' MONK
Defiantly original duo Witch 'n' Monk combine Mauricio Velasierra’s radically electrified Latin American flutes, with Heidi Heidelberg’s jazz-punk guitar/bass and anarchic soprano vocals.
"Blending Latin American flutes, electronics, complex vocal lines with a touch of Frank Zappa lyricism and a radical punk aesthetic, the duo of Heidi Heidelberg and Mauricio Velasierra crafts a dramatically bizarre vocal music from another dimension! Intertwining dark/light, feminine/masculine, composed/improvised and punk/romantic, dreamlike improvisations are sampled, manipulated and reinvented through the lens of contemporary music and pop. You have never heard anything quite like Witch ’n’ Monk!" - John Zorn
Their 2020 album was released on John Zorn's legendary Tzadik Records to critical acclaim. It was named Contemporary Album of the Month by The Guardian and received the prestigious Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik.
Video art, live visuals, and video mapping
GRIT KIT
In her video art, Grit Kit combines abstract loops based on formulas and algorithms with filmed footage and hand-drawn animations. In terms of design, she takes up universal forms, patterns and movements that can represent organic systems, mineral structures, mathematical concepts and physical processes alike. In her live visuals, clearly regulated elements meet lively improvisation. Components repeat themselves, pulsate, are fragmented, dissolve or regroup. Her video projections often incorporate space, three-dimensional surfaces and physical materialities.
Grit Kit is a founding member of the feminist art collective Trial and Theresa, which makes women and queer people visible in the electronic art scene.
