HW26C_#2 FREI & FREI
_mit Duo Garcia/Émaille
concert series by hand werk
March_17_2026_8pm_Alte Feuerwache, Melchiorstraße 3, 50670 Köln
In this collaborative concert with musicians from the world of improvised music, we welcome the duo Nina Garcia (electric guitar) and Camille Émaille (drums). Percussive guitar, feedback percussion: together, the two French women create music that is concise, engaging, and profound, all improvised.
hand werk contrasts these improvisations with three different styles of notated music: Vladimir Guicheff Bogacz's work consists of three movements and (almost) three repetitions of the same thing: “Tre pezzi sullo stesso ritmo.” Steffen Krebber's work fills the ears with vivid impressions of a jungle biotope, while Katherine Balch offers microscopic insights into childlike playfulness.
