Fennesz (AUT) I Raphael Roginski (POL)
Fennesz (AUT) I Raphael Roginski (POL)
Fennesz and Raphael Roginski at the House of Music! Two anti-guitar heroes, two unique uses of instruments, two solo concerts. Austrian electronic music pioneer Fennesz returns with his new album Mosaic, which pushes the boundaries of guitar-based ambient and glitch symphonies. He will be joined by Raphael Roginski from Poland, who blends Jewish and Eastern European musical traditions with contemporary improvisations: folkloric motifs and experimental textures in an intimate séance where the resonance of evoked sounds and their historical meanings will be transformed into an acoustic space of memory.
Schedule for the evening:
20:00 - 20:50 Raphael Roginski
20:50 - 21:10 changeover
21:10 - 22:10 Fennesz
FENNESZ
Christian Fennesz is a prominent figure in contemporary electronic music, who treats the guitar and the laptop in a symbiotic relationship. With his most important albums - Endless Summer - 2001, Venice - 2004, Black Sea - 2008, Vienna - 2014, Agora - 2019, Mosaic - 2024 - he pushes the boundaries of ambient, glitch, drone, electroacoustic music. Having collaborated with artists such as Ryuichi Sakamoto, David Sylvian, Sparklehorse, King Midas Sound, Jim O'Rourke and Mike Patton, his musical world has constantly evolved through various collaborations, yet always remained self-identical.
RAPHAEL ROGINSKI
Raphael Roginski is an obsessive explorer of the memory of Eastern European music. Blues guitar technique, jazz backgrounds, ethnomusicological deep drilling - and at the same time something very contemporary, very personal. Roginski draws soundscapes from Jewish tradition, Kurpie folklore or even the Senegalese sound of the 1970s, which are at once archaic and radically contemporary. Whether he is playing Bach on prepared guitar or evoking the spiritual world of the nigun solo, his music is a reminder: the past is a living sound material.
