Görda

In the organizer's words:

Admission 20:00

Start 21:30

In a multi-instrumental live performance, the musicians of Görda weave vocals, electric bass, flute, synthesizer, cello and beats into multi-layered soundscapes. Görda is a dazzling cross between indietronica and German chamber pop. Powerful, poetic and clever, her stories tell of everyday life and utopia, daydreams and ecstasy.

Görda is indie art pop with a love of detail, witty language and lots of analog and electronic instruments.

From the stage, the two musicians exude a captivating charm and interweave vocals, electric bass, flute, synthesizer, cello and beats with impressive nonchalance to create a constantly renewing cosmos of sound.

Normally bands write music at home and then take it on the road. In the case of Görda, it was the other way around.

Sophia (vocals, cello, keys) and Annelie (electric bass, flute) left their nest in Kiel to head off into the distance. They landed in a pedestrian zone in New Zealand and played their first informal gigs there to finance their residency at a nearby campsite.

In the meantime, the tour station wagon has been parked in the junkyard (RIP), a jazz degree has been completed and the 20 dollar guitar has been bid farewell. The arrangements have become more sophisticated and electric bass, flute, cello, synthesizer, sample pad and a loop station have been added. If you do the math carefully at this point, you can see for yourself at their concerts that Görda (now based in Leipzig) play all of this live in pairs. These different timbres flow alongside and into one another in a sound that you can hear its cleverness, but which never lets it hang out - in love with its own melodies and always danceable thanks to the Loop Station.
