The jazzexzess programme continues at Kantine am Berghain in March with another quality double bill featuring concerts by CANSU TANRIKULU’S PILED UP and ILOG.
Theatrical absurdity, cut-up country songs, grotesque text fragments – PILED UP stages a world in which trash and depth meet, in which guilty pleasure is put in the spotlight from different angles. Feminist approaches to performative intimacy, absurd commercials for chastity belts, a list of sexist speeches – clichés and reality blur in a game full of contradictions. Musically, the project is just as radical. Pulsating synthesizers, distorted guitars and chopped rhythms drive the sound in unpredictable directions. Little pedagogy, a lot of theater, even more excess.
Originally from Nuremberg/Bavaria Oliver Steidle moved to Berlin in 2000. As a drummer/composer/bandleader he worked together with Der Rote Bereich, Peter Brötzmann, Trevor Dunn, Peter Evans and many many more. Musically he is traveling in the wide field of Jazz, Improv, complex compositions. He was awarded twice with “deutscher Jazz price” as drummer of the year and band of the year (PHILM).
Hip-hop montages, electric flickering, pulsating drums… Ignaz Schick’s and Oliver Steidle’s work as ILOG is diverse and ranges from jazz and hip hop, noise and free improvisation to new music and musique concrète. The duo concentrates on crisp and often self-deprecating cut-up pieces that combine the energy of free jazz with a punk attitude and current currents of noise and electroacoustic music. The music is improvised, fast-paced and extraordinarily refreshing.
