Gordan (RS/DE)
Gordan is a collaboration with renowned Serbian singer Svetlana Spajić alongside Andi Stecher and Guido Möbius. The group explores the strengths and sensitivities of Spajić, Stecher, and Möbius across their respective musical realms, engaging in a constant dialogue between sound and noise that brings traditional Balkan singing into play with hypnotic drum beats, rich feedback experiments, and cool minimalism. Expect a theatrical performance that utilizes the space between the audience, set against a backdrop of hypnotic psychedelia and expressive Serbian folk singing.
