Living room music, domestic music, this is 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐤.
There is a quiet “tradition” of making art that brings people together, for each other. We exchange together, and some of us get up and perform.
5-9pm, cross-generational, it's for ALL of the community.
Join us June 28th at our second annual Kantine Musik (outside of Berlin) at Cafe OTO.
June 28th with music and storytelling from:
Whether combining the rhythmic timbres of wood, metal and audience claps or duetting with the atmospheric and elegiac echoed sounds of water dripping into a metal basin, Bex Burch is a composer, percussionist, instrument maker and improviser who emphasises space, repetition and aspects of chaos. These themes characterise an ongoing approach she describes as “messy minimalism”.
Burch’s critically acclaimed 2023 solo album, 'There is only love and fear' was released via Chicago’s International Anthem and named The Guardian's Contemporary Album of the Month. She runs the label, Vula Viel Records, the domestic music event, Kantine Musik, and has collaborated with influential artists including Thomas Sekgura, Leafcutter John as part of ‘Boing!’, Tamar Osborn, Sarathy Korwar, Al MacSween and Danalogue in ‘Flock’, Peter Zummo, Dame Evelyn Glennie, Ben LaMar Gay, Dan Bitney and Macie Stewart.
Bex completed an 18-month instrument-making apprenticeship in Ghana in 2008 with master gyil player Thomas Sekgura, a formative experience alongside her questing spirit which has informed her career since, from the open-hearted collaborations of her musical releases to the creation of a new xylophone she handmade under Jamie Linwood’s mentorship, tuning its harmonics to maximise the resonances she wanted to hear. – Bex’s music continues to evolve. More is to come as Bex’s wide-eyed approach continues to break new musical ground.
