With heavens encore, the Kollektiv3:6Koeln opens the door to a world in which digital and physical realities merge. At the centre is an immersive VR experience; we present the result of our three-week research, conception and programming work and want to explore the boundaries between the worlds together with you. Music, performances, the virtual world and analogue drinks together at the bar form the framework for this. We look forward to seeing you at Kunsthafen on 25 November 2023 between 15h and 22h. To avoid waiting times, we offer you the opportunity to reserve 15-minute timeslots via Eventbrite (https://www.eventbrite/heavens-encore-ticket.de).

“Nicolas’ music is a hymn to the fusion of yesterday and tomorrow, a symphony of post-digitality that transports listeners to a new reality.”

– ChatGPT

Or: Deep Dive into music that is not afraid of autotune and nightcore, of transformation and way too fast tempi.

This year’s winner of the Bernd Alois Zimmermann Scholarship of the City of Cologne, Nicolas Berge, together with Cologne Guitar Quartet, Kollektiv3:6Koeln and Duo WeirichLöffler, will show his own works from the recent past in order to look together into the present. Music, video and live performance will be created at the intersection of the internet, hybridity and pop culture.

We are looking forward to leaving authenticity behind for the evening and diving into the subconscious of the internet together.

When: 20.09.2023, 20h

Where: Kunststation St. Peter, Köln

The Kollektiv3:6Koeln is moving into the Niehler Freiheit for a week and spreading out its artistic inner life there. Secret cravings, random ideas from drunken nights and everything that doesn’t fit into our serious concerts we want to try out on the grounds of the Freiheit when we turn it into our public living room. Sexy dance videos, cymbal brushes, long-distance improvs, electronic underwater worlds and videos that we usually only share in the Kollektiv-Chat – before, after and during we want to chat with you about life at the bar and just spend some time together.

In her composition dem Sonnengott, Dariya Memonova listens to Hölderlin’s poems, explores the sound of his language and the character of his stories. Hölderlin’s free verse means complete freedom for her. The result is a moment without beginning and without end, in which there is only poetry and in which the poet’s inner world can be experienced. Together with the Kollektiv3:6Koeln, she creates various sound spaces that are electronically expanded.

Kollektiv3:6Koeln presents the finalists pieces of the composition competition of the festival ACHT BRÜCKEN I Musik für Köln.

The Living Cartoon Duet is a duo of silent film pianist Camille Phelepp and actress and dubbing artist Sophie Lavallée – in their work they create live soundtracks to animated films. The evening, jointly created by Kollektiv3:6Koeln and the Living Cartoon Duet, takes the form of an animated picture book: two works by the Living Cartoon Duet, two compositions inspired by them by the permanent collective members Georgia Koumará and Vladimir Guicheff Bogacz – and finally a piece created jointly by all with animations by Diego Cristófano.
