Cluster #10 w/Caleb Salgado, Kaj Duncan David & Martin Lau

About

Labor Neunzehn is glad to introduce the second to last concert of this years series. In this occasion we will present the work by the composer Kaj Duncan David with the text of Martin Lau, originally commissioned by the ensemble mosaik for an instrumental group, reduced and revised for this concert to a new voice and electronics version. The event, guest-curated in collaboration with Passepartout Duo, will also involve a performance of the American experimental musician Caleb Salgado, combining structural aspects of drone, New Age and ambient musics as well as free improvisation, automated sequencing, organic and inorganic processes.
