Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"BASIS_Sound_Space (BASIS Booksalon at MUCCA) - Basis means basic in English.

A new sound space for contemporary, experimental and improvised music is introduced at MUCCA. It can be seen as a successor project to the Salon für Klang+Kunst, which gave up after the 99th event due to corona.

The performances are co-sponsored and supported by the dasvinzenz theatre. The acoustically performed space is the book estate of the legendary left-wing former bookshop with antiquarian bookshop in Munich, the Basis-Buchhandlung. Founded in 1972, the bookshop on Adalbertstraße in Munich was a focal point for critical minds for almost 40 years and an intellectual staple for many, including me. The institution, as such it was to be called, had to close about ten years ago. The recorded space with the leftover books is an adequate shell for the unadjusted improvised sounds we create there.



The TUBAX is an Eb contrabass saxophone with a range Bb 3-F# 6, sounding Db1-A3, 1 octave below the baritone saxophone, developed and built by Benedikt Eppelsheim, which he makes freely available to me."-Udo Schindler


Artist Biographies

"Udo Schindler is a German improvisation musicians (bass clarinet, contrabass clarinet, saxophone, flute, cornet, also accordion, guitar, percussion, analog synthesizer) and architect. Schindler was active in the 1970s in Franconia first as rock and rock jazz musician before he had flute lessons at the conservatory Nuremberg. Subsequently, he studied architecture at the Technical University of Munich and worked as an architect. In the 1990s he turned to contemporary music (Arch.Ensemble) and improvised music (Schindler.Interferenz.3). In addition to the single tube instruments (saxophones and clarinets), he studied the cornet. In addition to his sound research, he also worked as a director, performer, musician and composer for various theater productions. In the following years he performed with solo and duo projects at new music festivals (Musica Viva, Klangaktionen, etc ...), jazz, experimental music, among others. This led to collaborations with musicians like Hubert Bergmann, Gerry Hemingway, Eddie Prevost, Sebi Tramontana, Georg Wissel, John Russell, Blaise Siwula, Frank Gratkowski, Hans Koch, Urs Leimgruber, Elisabeth Harnik, Katharina Weber and Frank Paul Schubert. In addition to his activities in solid cast he initiated in Munich a series of concerts to free improvisation in ad hoc to test instrumentation."

"Interweaving two distinct forms of creative expression, Eric Zwang-Eriksson aka EaZy aka Klangwahn fashions a variety of audio-visual installations. Likewise, he works with performers, authors and theaters as a musician and a composer. The artist's approach is shaped by his 30 years' experience in improvised music."
