Rituale per invocare l'oscurità

 

(Senketsu No Night Club is a project stems from an idea by Adriano Vincenti determined to push his research into a new level; inspired by extreme Japanese cinema, Adriano aims to bring together Japanese Power-Harsh drifts with jazz doomnoir atmospheres that he masters since a very long time.

Next step was to involve in such a project Giovanni Leonardi who was also passionate in such artistic expression.

The two than decided to ask also the support of English saxophonist Ian Ferguson, who takes care of all wind instruments. But the initial psychoanalysis of the project is Japanese filmmaker Furachi Life, she delivered one of his poems on band's debut album and took care of all the images and entire inspiration of the project. 

Everything was condensed in these episodes that end up overcoming the stereotypes and gender boundaries, there is a language where jazz, trip hop, kraut rock, end up merging with industrial debris of uncompromising power-noise, evoking the most disturbing images of the rising Sol cinema).

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).
