NIMM PLATZ - EARTH TONES

In the organizer's words:

Earth Tones as part of NIMM PLATZ

Earth Tones explores the vibrant potential of drones on string instruments. Drones, also called drones or old-fashioned drone tones, shift the focus from musical event density to the shaping of a sound. Viewed soberly, something only happens very gradually in drone music. Increasingly, however, sound details rich in overtones and fine, rhythmic ramifications come to the fore. Ahrendt, Wittbrodt and Schönegg slowly enliven their sound research with gentle impulses. The three instrumentalists began their musical collaboration with performances in public spaces, played numerous concerts in designated spaces as well as in the forest and are looking forward to playing in public spaces again at Neumarkt.

Earth Tones are: Akiko Ahrendt (violin), Emily Wittbrodt (cello), Stefan Schönegg (double bass)

_{NIMM PLATZ am Neumarkt is a joint project of Cologne's cultural administration and the independent cultural scene, with contributions from the University of Music and Dance (HfMT) and the Academy of Media Arts (KHM).}
