Kazakh violinist Aisha Orazbayeva is renowned for her fearless interpretations of contemporary music and radical approach to old repertoire. She recently joined Ictus in new work by choreographer Etienne Guilloteau and in an Ictus String Quartet project with music by Jürg Frey and Hampus Lindwall. Today we are proud to present her with a short solo set including works by Angharad Davies, Jack Sheen, early Baroque music by Aurelio Virgiliano and Orazbayeva’s own work.

Travis Just and David Helbich join forces and tastes in this newly formed duo for some dense improvisations of distorted and looped saxophones overlaid with textures of sample and analog synths manipulations. Travis Just is a composer and improviser. His music often uses text, objects, and gesture in addition to instruments, voice, and electronics. He is co-director of the performance group Object Collection and lives in New York City.
David Helbich (Brussels) is a composer who has strayed into performance art, visual and conceptual art and also photography.
Most of his work seeks intro- and interactive situations and relationships with the audience. In this duo he plays his modular BugBrand system.

The Brussels based organist and composer Hampus Lindwall laid his hands on a pair of vintage Roland Bass Synthesizers (the so-called TB-303).
“Not the sort of thing you’d expect from someone who usually performs in churches. He certainly knows his way around the machine, twisting its envelopes into gurning misshapes ranging from focussed low end modulations to screaming, throaty assaults and wobbly asides with a smart balance of daftness and expressive intuition.” (source: Boomkat)
