about
Brigitta Bödenauer and Susanna Gartmayer started their collaboration – Black Burst Sound Generator – in 2012. In their performances, they work with the exact interplay of microphoned contra alto clarinet and electronic sounds. Over the last years, they have developed an unique program that plays musically with elements of Electro, IDM, Field Recordings, Industrial, Drone, Dark Ambient, and the multiphonic possibilities of the contra-alto clarinet. Reduced beats, abstract sounds and slowly developing structures are combined into a precise dramaturgy.
With inquiring minds, precision and persistence, the two musicians Brigitta Bödenauer and Susanna Gartmayer engage in their search for ever new sounds and musical approaches. While Bödenauer works as an experimental film maker and installation artist, Gartmayer studied painting and printmaking, two highly visual approaches to music. Their duo project is characterized by a shared interest in polyrhythmic structures and their pleasure in playing with their stage appearance. In every performance, Gartmayer and Bödenauer take on a new role, one which also demands a new mode of playing.
