MIROFEST 1: Emilie Škrijelj

Emilie's portfolio of virtuoso, elegiac accordion playing, sound objects or as a DJane has already been presented a few times over the past eight years as part of the elektrosmog series. We would like to invite her to a small residency and present her with a carte blanche on the subject of "Feminism in Improvised and Experimental Music". Within a week (before the first festival weekend) Emilie will be provided with a space and technical support - if desired - to realize her ideas. The talk and concert will be realized according to the artist's ideas.

MIKROFEST 1

Mikrofest Mannheim presents perspectives on contemporary improvised music over four days of events. On 15 and 16 March and 22 and 23 March, current topics such as artificial intelligence, modular synthesizers as a performance tool as well as feminist perspectives and performances on the subject will be presented at zeitraumexit and the Alte Volksbad in Mannheim. The concerts will each be accompanied by an artist talk or a lecture performance that will take place immediately before or after the concert. With artists such as Maxime Mantovani (Paris), who has been working with topics such as AI and improvisation for years, and synthesizer virtuoso Richard Scott (Berlin), we have invited exciting musicians to present their work, some of whom have put together their own ensembles. The artist Emilie Škrijelj will present her perspective on feminism in performance and improvised music as a result of her residency and the Phlegma Ensemble will perform in an old bathhouse.
