Next Concert

March 30, 2025 – Pachová / Gartmayer / Kern

The trio of Lucie Páchová, Susanne Gartmayer and Didi Kern was formed during the residency at AiR in Krems in December 23 and January 2024. That time the trio centered their attention around the topic of „breath“ in wide conception.

„We have been mainly researching the possibilities of in-breath and out-breath (length, intensity, regularity, tempo, sound) in connection to our instrument or voice. We examined how the focus on regularity /irregularity of breath cycle influences our improvisation and how it gives us different directions on where to follow our music languages and „unblock“ our improvisational habits. We would like to continue this „breath“ research, this time in relation to the topic of „stability/fragility“. What sort of stability can breath provide with us? Can we rely on breath and to what level?  What is the meaning of breath to life stability/fragility or music stability/fragility. If more people breathe „together“, can that make the collective more stable? Do we need to think of the breath to be aware of its stability? Is the air fragile? Is the false breath enough to survive? How can we support each other’s stability through focus on breath? What is fragile about existence and how is that related to breath? Can we hear each other’s breath or is it just a false notion that the other is breathing? We want to examine these questions during our improvised music set.“
