can be expressive, intuitive and highly adaptable. In Hekla's hands, her
instrument covers an enormous range, from skittering birdsong of high
frequency chirrups and chirps, to grinding, tectonic sub-bass).

(Heimat is a French Experimental/Electronic duo formed by Olivier Demeaux (Cheveu, Accident du Travail) and Armelle Oberlé (The Dreams, Badaboom); sometimes very martial like a marching music, sometimes very lyrical,
the Heimat's musics are going deeper in these weirdo landscapes, using
cinematographic scores and samples over layers of urban cultures, in
order to open the gates of the dreamy gazes and the shadowy stories).

Die Störungen des Äthers streicheln
(German-Sorbian musician and composer Carolina Eyck was introduced to the theremin by her parents at the age of 7. She took her first theremin lessons with Lydia Kavina.
After her debut in the Berlin Philharmonie in 2002 she has been
invited to concerts and festivals around the world. It was not long
before she was known as one of the best theremin soloists worldwide.
At the age of 16, Carolina developed a new precise playing technique,
called the 8 finger position technique. She published the first
extensive theremin method book entitled "The Art of Playing the Theremin" in 2006.
With this technique the player is able to tune the theremin to their
hand and rely on their finger positions, rather than correcting notes
after they are audible. This method is now being used by thereminists
around the world and has revolutionized how the instrument is played.
In 2016, Carolina began touring her solo Theremin & Voice
program. She breaks new ground by using a surround sound system,
allowing her theremin to break free and fill the space. Loops and choirs
developed on stage fly through the room in sync with the movements of
her dance-like performance. Balancing between minimal and progressive
electronic music, Carolina's melodic and partly fixed composition style
leaves plenty of space for her virtuoso improvisations.
Her transcription of Ennio Morricone's "The Ecstasy of Gold" got more
than 15 million views online. Carolina has released several solo
albums, including "Elegies for Theremin & Voice" (2019) and "Thetis 2086" (2022).
Over the years, Carolina has collaborated with various musicians,
conductors, ensembles and symphony orchestras, such as Fazil Say, Heinz
Holliger, Michael Sanderling, Gürer Aykal and Brad Lubman, the Berlin
Radio Symphony Orchestra, BBC Philharmonic, Bern Symphony Orchestra, San
Francisco Ballet Orchestra, Argentine National Symphony Orchestra,
Brussels Philharmonic, National Symphony Orchestra (Washington, D.C.)
and Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg.
Carolina has performed in concert halls around the world, including
the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, the Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts in Washington D.C., MONA (Museum of New and Old Art)
Tasmania, Konzerthaus Berlin, Bozar Brussels, Rudolfinum in Prague,
Großes Festspielhaus Salzburg, Centro Cultural Kirchner (CCK) Buenos
Aires, Teatro National de Guatemala and Centro Gabriela Mistral
Santiago, Chile.
In 2006, Carolina won the International Competition for Composers
arranged by Radio/TV Berlin-Brandenburg for her orchestral composition
"Sciciani".
In 2015, she received the German Echo Klassik in the category
"Concert Recording of the Year (20th/21st century music)" for playing
the Theremin Concerto "Eight Seasons" by Kalevi Aho, conducted by John Storgårds and played with the Lapland Chamber Orchestra, published in 2014 by BIS records).Here
