Zwei Tage Zeit Festival für improvisierte Musik

Fine Kwiatkowski explores all the possibilities of her body's twisting, spinning and turning, while Hans Tammen creates sounds that have been described as an alien world of bizarre textures and a journey through the land of unending sonic operations.
Fine Kwiatkowski and Hans Tammen have been performing together since the mid-90s. They first started out working together on large improvisational projects before increasingly devoting themselves to working as a duo. Striking at first, the contrast between machines and the human body shrinks down as the combined artistry of the duo takes hold. Their work is not about reacting to one's sounds or the other's movements, but to set in motion two parallel narratives, occasionally intersecting yet always accompanying one another. Due to their remarkable creativity, this is the intricate exchange of two artistic genres dialoguing equally in a rich relation of tensions. The duo performed extensively in Europe, as well as at Victoriaville and Sound Symposium Festivals in Canada.

Fine Kwiatkowski (D) explores all the possibilities of her body's twisting, spinning and turning. Independence of the different body elements (head, fingers, feet, torso) produce strange, surprising results as she is transformed into thousands of characters in a continuous metamorphosis without beginning or end. She explores the possibilities of body language right up to the finger tips and transforms her body into an instrument of strange curves and twists which she executes with virtuosity.
Expressing herself through working with her body since the age of 4, first through acrobatics and pantomime, a consequent development of a unique language of movement leading to dance began in 1980. Improvisation is at the center of her approach, and she works primarily as a soloist who collaborates with artists in the fields of improvised and contemporary music, fine arts, film and theater. Her own dancing pieces and performance projects broadened the scope of work through collaborations with various theaters in Germany since 1988, notably Freie Kammerspiele in Magdeburg. Fine Kwiatkowski danced until 1989 in East Germany, Bulgaria, Romania and Poland, and, after the wall came down, in France, Austria, United States, Denmark, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland and Canada.

Hans Tammen (USA) creates sounds that have been described as an alien world of bizarre textures and a journey through the land of unending sonic operations. He produces rapid-fire juxtapositions of radically contrastive and fascinating noises, with micropolyphonic timbres and textures, aggressive sonic eruptions, but also quiet pulses and barely audible sounds – and, as a critic observed, with his “…fingers stuck in a high voltage outlet”.
His projects include site-specific performances and collaborative efforts with dance, light, video, and theatre, utilizing his award-winning "Endangered Guitar" (a hybrid guitar/software instrument used to control interactive live sound processing), an analog modular synthesizer built around chaotic behaviors, and other technology from planetarium projectors to guitar robots and disklavier pianos. His works have been presented on festivals in the US, Canada, Mexico, Russia, India, South Africa and all over Europe.
