AyÅŸe Deniz Birdal
Ji Youn Kang & Clara de Asís
Luc Döbereiner & Leonie Strecker
This evening consists of three sets:
Ji Youn Kang
A performance as a live construction of an unstable sonic machine, circuits, metal plates, and electromagnetic feedback form a system where sound emerges from shifting relations between material, performer, and signal. Through acts of tinkering, the piece reveals the hidden vitality of matter and its dynamic behaviors.
Ji Youn Kang is a composer and performer of electronic and instrumental music. Her work often draws from Korean shamanistic traditions while exploring spatial sound and handmade electronics. She teaches at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague and performs internationally.
- Clara de Asís & Luc Döbereiner
The duo unfolds reduced sound textures with synthetic (analog and digital) sources, moving between isolated harmonic states and noise. The music emphasizes spatiality, the materiality of listening and sound reproduction, and the interplay between reduction and multiplicity of sound sources.
Clara de Asís is an artist and composer working with electronics, objects, and instruments to investigate listening, perception, and social-material contexts. She creates works of different formats encompassing performance, audio pieces and installations.
Luc Döbereiner is a composer, musician and researcher exploring the fragility and materiality of sound, often using generative processes and synthesis.
- Leonie Strecker
In her solo performance, Strecker explores presence, absence, and memory through concrete and synthetic sound, evoking ambiguous meanings and creating spaces for individual and collective listening.
Leonie Strecker is a composer and sound artist based in Vienna. Her work includes electronic and electro-acoustic music, compositions for soloists and ensembles, as well as performances and installations. She explores ideas around the hybridity of form, presence and absence, the connection of memory and experience, and the meaning of concrete and synthetic sound.




AyÅŸe Deniz Birdal (Istanbul, 1996) started studying at the Istanbul University State Conservatory at age 10. She continued her studies with Julius Berger in Augsburg. She won first place in the Rudolf Matz Strings Competition and second place in the International Johan Andreas Stein Strings Competition, where she played, among others, her own composition Sky-Cut.
Birdal played multiple festivals, including the Menuhin Festival Gstaad String Academy and the Kronbeg Academy Cello Festival, and played as a soloist with the Kaunas Philharmonic Orchestra, among others.
She has a strong interest for contemporary classical music and music from her home country. She is also an enthusiastic improviser.
With her artistic identity, she is building a bridge between genres and cultures, to express her identity as a human being and a woman who migrated from Turkey through Europe to pursue an artistic career, and to narrate her experience through life and cultures.


“wiRRR2” & muri anda — Live at VEKKS, Vienna
An evening between ritual, sound, and transformation.
wiRRR2 is the collaborative project of austrian performance and noise art artist Doris Steinbichler and percussionist and drummer Lukas Wöber.
Through an intuitive interplay of vocals, drums, and effects, they weave a pulsating web of tribal rhythms, electronic textures, and mystical soundscapes — oscillating between drum & bass, punk, ethno, and ambient.
Steinbichler, active in Mexico City since the 1990s, merges performance, sound, and visual art with themes of social and gender awareness, while Wöber explores rhythm as a collective experience and an expansion of consciousness, marked by physical intensity and energetic flow.
Together, they form a performative ritual — raw, driving, hypnotic.
From Linz, muri anda joins the night: artist, bird watcher, and noise maker, moving freely through underground ecologies of sound, film, and improvised performance.
Her work is grounded in dynamics and momentum, in the interaction between the organic and synthetic, in deconstruction and re-creation — a sonic cycle of chaos, order, and chaos again.
Her performances are a visceral blend where free improvisation meets punk, meets obnoxious noise, always searching for new forms to emerge from the remains.
Two acts exploring the borders of structure and intuition —
transforming sound into a physical, ecstatic experience.
