Doors open 20.30, Opening DJ: Monique Samantha

Live performance - 21.15: Katharina Schmidt (DE) and Bauer (UK)

-
Created through an iterative editing process, the layers of "Open Water" build up a complex environment with a listening experience like staring out into an ocean of evolving texture.

By freely interpreting and shaping raw materials presented to each other without context, the duo surface invocations of love, travel, and acceptance of the vulnerability we face when encountering the unknown.

Katharina Schmidt

Katharina Schmidt is a musician based in Berlin. After years of playing drums and piano in various bands, her solo work is influenced by indie, experimental, and improvised music. Exploring interests in storytelling, sonic topographies, and generative techniques, her music uses electronics, field recordings, and self-built interfaces alongside acoustic instruments. From sonifications to lullabies, her work is poised between formal experimentation and narratives cued by literature and pop culture, and can be heard in installations, film music, and radiophonic pieces, as well as releases on labels such as enmossed, Flag Day Recordings, Vertical Music, and Slaapwel Records.
