Eyal Maoz – guitar
Yedda Lin – piano
Lukas Ligeti – drums
Wodo – visual art.

Irgendwie haben die Vier schon mit einander zu tun gehabt. Eyal hat mit Lukas zusammen gespielt. Lukas und Yedda haben seit 2014 öfters mit einander gespielt. Wolfang und Yedda haben gemeinsam performed. Und Yedda, Lukas und Wolfgang haben zusammen gespielt. Eyal Maoz ergriff nun anlässlich seines Europabesuches die Initiative. Am 17. 12. 2018 sind die Grenzen überwunden – geografisch, musikalisch, künstlerisch und überhaupt.

Eyal Maoz: „I am a downtown New York City musician and a member of John Zorn’s Cobra and Abraxas. I am a composer and guitarist with albums at Tzadik, Chant, Ayler, Piadrum and OutNow Records, and leader of bands including Edom, Dimyon, Wild Type and more.“

He  also has a great band together with Lukas Ligeti and James Ilgenfritz – Hypercolor, a revolutionary jazz-inflected art-rock trio.

Known to tell stories of pain, hope, strength, joy and celebration, Maoz’s music oscillates between extremely delicate and highly volatile. His work evokes extravaganza of cutting edge experimental and chamber grace.

Yedda Chunyu Lin (Taiwan / Austria)  is a pianist and composer. She studied classical piano at the university of music and performing arts,Vienna (MDW).
Manon-Liu Winter gave her big impressions of contemporary music and improvisation. Franz Hautzinger’s Ensemble 3000 had introduced her in a new musical freedom.
Since 2009 she started her performance as an improviser and composer with many wonderful musicians: Katharina Klement, Franz Hautzinger, Clayton Thomas, Lukas Ligeti, Fritz Novotny, Daniel Lercher, Wolfgang Reisinger, Tanja Feichtmair, Arnold Haberl, Irene Kepl, Elisabeth Flunger, Alois Eberl.

„In my compositions, I experiment different sounds, play between dissonance, noise, conventional and unconventional melodies and harmonies. Influenced from classical piano and my taiwanese / asian background. I play the piano not only in a conventional way, but also use some objects, such like titanic pipes or wooden sticks…etc. to produce diverse interesting sounds from the keys and strings and to encode my fantasies (prepared piano). Between structure, sound, minimal music, I try to find a balance and – perhaps – a new expressionism.“

Lukas Ligeti: Transcending the boundaries of genre, composer-percussionist Lukas Ligeti has developed a musical style of his own that draws upon downtown New York experimentalism, contemporary classical music, jazz, electronica, as well as world music, particularly from Africa. Known for his non-conformity and diverse interests, Lukas creates music ranging from the through-composed to the free-improvised, often exploring polyrhythmic/polytempo structures, non-tempered tunings, and non-western elements. Other major sources of inspiration include experimental mathematics, computer technology, architecture and visual art, sociology and politics, and travel. He has also been participating in cultural exchange projects in Africa for the past 15 years.

Born in Vienna, Austria into a Hungarian-Jewish family from which several important artists have come including his father, composer György Ligeti, Lukas started his musical adventures after finishing high school. He studied composition and percussion at the University for Music and Performing Arts in Vienna and then moved to the U.S. and spent two years at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics at Stanford University before settling in New York City in 1998.

His commissions include Bang on a Can, the Vienna Festwochen, Ensemble Modern, Kronos Quartet, Colin Currie and Håkan Hardenberger, the American Composers Forum, New York University, ORF Austrian Broadcasting Company, Radio France, and more; he also regularly collaborates with choreographer Karole Armitage.

As a drummer, he co-leads several bands and has performed and/or recorded with John Zorn, Henry Kaiser, Raoul Björkenheim, Gary Lucas, Michael Manring, Marilyn Crispell, Benoit Delbecq, Jim O’Rourke, Daniel Carter, John Tchicai, Eugene Chadbourne, and many others. He performs frequently on electronic percussion often using the marimba lumina, a rare instrument invented by California engineer Don Buchla.

Wodo, Wolfgang Dokulil ist bildender Künstler.
Geboren in Wien in der Nachfolge eines tschechischer Emigranten, eines revolutionären Sozialdemokraten, einer suizidalen Hilfsarbeiterin, eines Feinmechanikers, einer Wirtshaustochter, einer religiösen Kindergärtnerin und eines konservativen Musikers sind ihm viele Identitäten in die Wiege gelegt. Ein strenger väterlicher Klavier- und Violinunterricht erzwang zwar eine nicht musikalische Laufbahn, verankerte aber eine tiefe musikalische Empfindungsfähigkeit in seiner Seele.

Er studierte Malerei und Grafik an der Universität für Angewandte Kunst Wien und Bildhauerei / Kleinplastik an der Akademie der Bildenden Künste Wien. Intensiven Materialexplorationen in Stein, Stuck, Gips, Metall, u.a. auch als Restaurator für Kunstdenkmäler, folgten malerische Experimente und ausgedehnte Streifzüge in die Welt der digitalen Bilder. Seine Bildfindung ist von freier Assoziation getrieben. Ungegenständlich ist die Matrix, in der Realität sichtbar werden kann. Was diese Realität ist, kann immer nur mittels Kommunikation beantwortet werden. Der nächste Schritt führt ihn zu partizipativer Kunst und zur freien Improvisation als Kommunikation, die jeweils eine neue Welt erschafft.

Er brachte den KunstbeTrieb als Ort künstlerischer Performance ins Rollen. KünstlerInnen verschiedener Sparten – Bildende Kunst, Musik, Literatur / Sprache, Tanz – kommunizieren und improvisieren auf Augenhöhe miteinander. Sein eigener künstlerischer Beitrag ist die live improvisierte bildende Kunst – in Form von skulpturalen Improvisationen, digital paintings, räumlichen Installationen.
