Step into the sound of unorthodox minds

In biochemistry, "free radicals" pose a danger to cells and tissues. In music, on the other hand, they offer the chance to enter a different sound world. Asko|Schönberg presents five unorthodox minds, who know how to break free from conventions and expectations. They play with our perception of time, challenge us to embrace microtonal intervals and integrate non-musical sounds into their dramaturgy.

Alongside today's idiosyncratic creators such as Chaya Czernowin, Saad Haddad and Dutchman Jan van de Putte - with a vocal tribute to the poet Pessoa - will sound works by twentieth-century rebels Ives and Xenakis. Excitement guaranteed!

‘Czernowin composes the negative beauty of disaster; it is the musical equivalent of Picasso’s Guernica or Anselm Kiefer’s Margarethe.’ (The New Yorker)
