Johannes Fink: Two sides of a sound cosmos

An evening with Johannes Fink is like a journey through familiar and at the same time unheard-of terrain. Sometimes it grooves with echoes of the sound of the 70s, sometimes a multi-layered soundscape grows out of the silence. Fink's music is earthy, daring and tender at the same time - it surprises, pulsates and remains open to the present.
Born in Freiburg, he has lived in Berlin since the mid-90s and is a formative personality in the city's improvised music scene. As an autodidact, he first learned the double bass, later adding the five-string cello - his personal sound carrier.
He has worked and continues to work with outstanding musicians such as Henry Threadgill, Tomasz Stanko, Aki Takase, Silke Eberhard, Lee Konitz and Tyshawn Sorey and is firmly anchored in the Berlin improvisation scene.
Stylistically, he spans a wide range - from swing and modern bebop to the electrified jazz of the 70s and free improvisation. His musical focus is always on the improvisational core. Whether with his 20 000 Hour Band or formations such as Fink Floyd and Der Moment, Fink's projects thrive on curiosity, sonic independence and a sense for the unexpected.
Fink is an independent artistic personality - uncompromising in his expression, open in his approach and always in search of musical substance beyond the expected.

2x Johannes Fink: An evening between groove and sound research, between form and freedom. Two sides of an artist - and two reasons to listen carefully.

Fink 70's Revisited
The trio brings back original compositions with echoes of the sound of the 70s - but always through the eyes of Johannes Fink. This unusual line-up creates a dense, lively mixture of groove, abstraction and free improvisation. Sensitivity, humor and spontaneity characterize the interplay - musically idiosyncratic, but always accessible.

S.K.O.V.
S.K.O.V. stands for instant composing at the highest level. What sounds like a through-composition is created live - directly in front of the audience. Four musicians create a unique work together, without prior consultation. The ensemble is characterized by sonic density, subtle reactions and room for surprise. Originally founded as a string trio, S.K.O.V. has evolved into a dynamically changing collective with the piano.
