Jo’s new album Empty Salt
Released, Nov.17.2023
Once, when Jo worked in a salt mine, she switched off the headlight in a deep mining tunnel and found herself in the greatest silence and darkness. Apart from the taste of salt, the only thing that was present was absence. For decades she kept this feeling of emptiness.
On this album Jo opened up some dots of this empty token and a 10-kg sack of Asian flour burst onto a humdrum leeway. On this own run a grained crow flew untamed into a tangible tryst and leaving nothing but blunt salt.

Set 1 (für Rosi) – Maximilian Glass & Michael Thieke
Set 2 (für Marcus) – Maximilian Glass & Michael Thieke
Maximilian Glass is a Berlin based sound artist, improviser and composer with a focus on resonating frequencies and the complementary relationship between acoustic, electro-acoustic and electronic sounds. He interprets playback devices as musical instruments, creates feedback systems, manipulates motors and plays objects. His work takes place in the form of concerts, installations, compositions, (radio)performances and mostly in scenarios of site-specific interactions.
Michael Thieke – clarinetist/composer/performer – is equally at home across a broad range of musical environments, such as experimental song forms, collectively composing projects, improvising collectives, and music on the fringes of jazz. He is exploring the minutiae of sound, timbre and noise, with a particular interest in microtonality and related sound phenomena. The qualities of slowness are another.

Agente Costura & Beltership Live at Orange ’Ear

#encore – Agente Costura & Beltership
We look back at this unique duo, together with them we are immersed in a very special sound world. Agente Costura + Beltership played their second concert together and Orange ’Ear had the honor of presenting this improvised set. The two combined their ingenuity in constructing sonic devices with their extraordinary sense for arrangements and interwoven soundscapes.
