Tuesday, April 23, 2024, at 8:00pm (doors: 7:30pm): Kaffe Matthews (electronics) and Han-earl Park (guitar) perform as part of Erweitert in der REH at REH (Kopenhagener Straße 17, 10437 Berlin). Also performing are BasTa! duo (Caroline Cecilia Tallone and Alexis Baskind); and Sascha Banck, Daniel Erdmann and Isabel Rößler.

Kaffe and I have been playing since December, and it’s been an evolving, rewarding creative process. This performance will be the first time we get to present our music in public (a big, big thanks to Ligia Liberatori and Isabel Rößler for hosting us), and I’m very excited to finally share our noise!

‘Don’t Overthink It’ (#onetakestudy Nº 7)

I came away from a session with Kaffe Matthews with some fragments of ideas—not themes, barely motives—let’s call them random arrangement of atoms. This study is an unprepared (without even a warm-up) first-run of some of these. Think of it as a soup made from whatever’s at hand.

I’ve taken the title for this latest study (‘Don’t Overthink It’) from an album by Corey Mwamba. (I hope you don’t mind, Corey.)

Kaffe and I are performing on Tuesday, April 23, 2024 at REH (Kopenhagener Straße 17, 10437 Berlin).
