(London/Moers) Cafe OTO is the! place for free jazz, improvised music and experimental with live music on seven nights a week. Together, Cafe OTO and moers festival have realised an extensive residence project with multiple workshop phases in London. Artists from Northrhine-Westphalia and UK will collaborate and the results of these encounters will be premiered both in London and at the moers festival 2023 and 2024.
In the second secret alliance, Raissa Mehner and Simon Camatta from NRW team up with Bex Burch and Caroline Kraabel in Hackney. Unlike SAPAT (residence project #1), the preparation phase for this collaboration takes place at Cafe OTO only after the performance at the Moers Festival. Hehehe!
While Gyil virtuoso Burch is well acquainted with the festival community through various feats of valor in recent years, far-flung globetrotter Kraabel conquers the city of Moers, seeing dangerous improvisation as a way of life. She moves through the mundane with her saxophone, switching unexpectedly between language and play, and is a member of the notorious London Improvisers Orchestra. Tough guy Simon Camatta has also swirled through numerous adventures in the Metamoersum in recent years and takes the messenger molecule SMS -among all the drum neurons- very seriously. With Raissa Mehner, a young sound pirate who fearlessly confronts every unfamiliar sound sequence, they set sail from Moersbach towards the Thames. Since this daring quartet is gathering for the first time in Moers during Whitsun, one must be prepared for anything. (Psst: The city's council is afraid that the LI-BER-ATION of Britain is being prepared on the Rodelberg).
