Krak

The Duo Krak, where I worked together with the Zurich clarinetist Valentin Vecellio, was the European version of the American Deep Listening experiment. KRAK was a chameleon of sorts; it matched the situation and its surroundings. KRAK improvised, dressed up, played the organ in the church, and performed foot-stomping folk dances (ländler) in the Entlebuch! KRAK met Cage, or sometimes did nothing at all. KRAK shrieked, stormed, and squealed; sometimes it was quite melancholic.

Audio sample: KRAK accordion, clarinet, voice

KRAK was also KRAK Plus – when other artists experimented with KRAK: For example, the graphic artist Susanna Vecellio, the poet Elisabeth Wandeler-Deck, the oboist Thomas Unternährer, the double bass player Regula Gerber or the Vox Feminae women’s choir, Winterthur, and others.
