Workshop: Künstlerische Praxis entwickeln & Jam-Session: Fokus und Reduktion als Booster für die eigene Kunst- und Musikpraxis:

Von Möglichkeiten zu Entscheidungen. Weniger Tools. Mehr Richtung. Eine Lecture Performance & Jam-Session von und mit Anja Kreysing

Zwischen unendlichen technischen Möglichkeiten, ständig neuem Gear und kreativer Überforderung gerät eine Frage leicht aus dem Blick: Wie entsteht eine künstlerische Praxis, aus der ein eigener Sound, eine eigene Handschrift oder eine unverwechselbare Position wachsen kann?

Diese Lecture Performance richtet sich an Musikerinnen, Klangkünstlerinnen, Produzierende, Studierende und alle, die ihre künstlerische Arbeit reflektieren und weiterentwickeln möchten – unabhängig von Genre, Erfahrung oder technischem Setup. Ausgehend von ihrer eigenen Praxis zwischen post-cinematischer av-Komposition, Klangkunst, Deep Listening und Artistic Research stellt Anja Kreysing keine Produktionsrezepte vor, sondern Arbeitsweisen und künstlerische Strategien: Wie können bewusste Limitationen kreativer machen als unbegrenzte Möglichkeiten? Wann wird aus spannendem Material eine Komposition? Wie entwickelt man Methoden statt bloßer Workflows? Und wie kann eine künstlerische Praxis entstehen, die auf Aufmerksamkeit, Reflexion und klaren Entscheidungen basiert – statt auf permanentem Optimieren? Ein kurzer Einblick in ihre Methodologie der post-cinematischen Komposition zeigt, wie sich diese Haltung konkret in ihrer eigenen Arbeit entfaltet. Im Mittelpunkt steht jedoch nicht ein bestimmter Stil, sondern die Frage, wie jede*r eine eigenständige künstlerische Praxis entwickeln kann.

Im Anschluss wird die Lecture zur offenen Jam Session: Die vorgestellten Strategien können gemeinsam ausprobiert, weitergedacht und in den eigenen Arbeitsprozess übersetzt werden. Nicht um eine Methode zu übernehmen, sondern um die eigene zu finden.

segment 19 – FLUME a/v composition premiere

segment 19 – FLUME, the next step of my contribution to the Flow project.  I added a video and a live part to segment 19 – FLUME and premiered it as segment 19 – FLUME audio-visual composition live iteration at Klangzeit-Werkstatt festival by Gesellschaft für Neue Musik / GNM Münster at music-conservatory Münster, GER, May 16th 2026.

Segment 19 – FLUME investigates the acoustic behavior of a regulated river segment through a post-cinematic audiovisual compositional approach. The piece originates from a field recording made inside the concrete tube of a fish pass, where water striking the walls produces a narrow resonance between A and B♭. This unstable microtonal field becomes the structural centre of the work. Granular and spectral processes, sine tones, and slowly drifting accordion drones performed on two slightly detuned instruments reorganise the recording into an evolving acoustic space.

The video has its origins in massively processed false-color satellite images of the area. The aim was to transform the wide view from space into the way from the river basin through the narrow concrete tube under this dammed part of the river Lech near the municipality of Scheuring / GER. Rather than depicting the site, this video-composition amplifies its latent resonances, pressure, and spatial constraints.

Segment 19 – FLUME also exists in a live iteration, where a third accordion performs live alongside the fixed video-composition. 

Flow is a project by Dr Martina Cecchetto, with the scientific contribution of Dr Florian Betz and the artistic curation of Riccardo Fumagalli, in collaboration with Cities & Memory, the University of Padua (Italy), and the University of Würzburg (Germany).

FLOW project out now at EGU geoscience conference, Vienna 7.5.2026

I am proud to be a part of the amazing FLOWproject with „segment 19 – FLUME“, a composition with the resonances of a fish-pass at the Lech for tube, accordion and sine-tone.

Flow is presented actually at the EGU general assembly in Vienna, the biggest geoscience conference in Europe.

Flow combines science, sound, and imagery to bring to life the story of the river Lech, which flows through Austria and Germany, as an example representing all rivers, all over the world.

Researchers at the University of Padua and the University of Würzburg collected satellite images, research, photography and field recordings from the entire length of the river, and asked artists to reimagine the life of the river through sound.

Flow tells the story of a river through sound, from its source to its end. Flow is a project by Dr Martina Cecchetto, with the scientific contribution of Dr Florian Betz and the artistic curation of Riccardo Fumagalli, in collaboration with Cities & Memory, the University of Padua (Italy), and the University of Würzburg (Germany).

„Anja Kreysing is a musician and researcher based in Münster, Germany. Her work moves between experimental music, sound art, and acoustic ecology, with a particular interest in how constructed and natural environments shape each other through sound.

For Flow, she worked on Segment 19 of the River Lech — a channelised, heavily regulated stretch near Sheuring, where dams and reservoirs for hydropower production have left the river, in the scientists’ words, “widely lacking natural geomorphic dynamics.” There are no restoration plans for this segment.

But Anja found a fish passage. A modest, largely unremarkable structure — a channel carved into concrete, built under a road — designed to recreate, as faithfully as possible, conditions natural enough for fish to navigate past a dam. When she recorded inside it, she found the water produced a very particular resonance: a narrow, unstable microtonal field sitting between the pitches A and B-flat.

That resonance became the starting point for everything.“

Segment 19 – FLUME investigates the acoustic behaviour of a regulated river segment through a post-cinematic compositional approach. The piece originates from a field recording made inside the concrete tube of a fish pass, where water striking the walls produces a narrow resonance between A and B♭. This unstable microtonal field becomes the structural centre of the work.

Bruital Voyage. Anja Kreysing & Stefan Strasser, release on attenuation circuit

Out now on attenuation circuit! Bruital Voyage

A single uninterrupted transmission from bruitkasten @ Ebertplatz Cologne during a concert in September 2025.

Anja Kreysing (accordion & electronics) and Stefan Strasser (guitar & electronics) navigate dense sonic geographies of abstract texture and harmonic traces, where signals erode, tonal fragments emerge and disappear, and noise moves like weather across concrete structures. 

This soundtrack is shaped through realtime compositional interaction rooted in radical listening. Cinematic in scope and associative in form, the music of Stefan and Anja unfolds like an acoustic film without images – a voyage through unstable sonic landscapes that trigger a vivid cinema of the mind.

ORTentvined, quadrophonic fixed-media composition for LJUDBIO XI quadrophonic festival, Uppsala, Sweden

ORTentvined

ORTentvined is originally a quadrophonic fixed-media composition developed from recordings made at a former Nazi-era military complex, the ORT. This is a careful stereo-mixdown of the composition. 

The work constructs an acoustic architecture from entirely site-derived materials: brittle footsteps through overgrown blackberry vines, resonances of abandoned wooden and concrete floors, metallic fragments of domestic debris, and the shifting pressure of the surrounding landscape – the piece develops a spatialized aural architecture grounded in forensic listening. Through granular micro-processing and controlled diffusion techniques, these materials are transformed while retaining their latent physical and historical identities.

The composition unfolds across a seven-minute spatial trajectory in which exterior and interior sound zones gradually intersect and contaminate one another. Vines appear unexpectedly inside the spatial field, concrete resonances drift toward the front, and domestic shards punctuate the quadrophonic plane. A sustained electric-guitar drone plus a short accordion-shiver operates not as a musical gesture but as structural pressure, articulating the latent tensions embedded in the site.

Rather than reconstructing historical events, ORTentwined treats the location as an active acoustic witness. Its surfaces, materials, and resonant cavities reveal traces of the architecture’s past through sound alone. The listener encounters a sequence of tectonic shifts in density, texture, and spatial orientation. These shifts foreground listening as a method for approaching contested spaces and ecologies marked by abandonment, overgrowth, and unresolved historical presence.

ORTentvined positions sound as a primary mode of spatial and historical inquiry. It belongs to a contemporary lineage of post-cinematic, site-responsive sound works that privilege raw materiality, perceptual attention, and the unstable boundaries between ecology, architecture, and memory.

ORT entvined was premiered at 7th December 2025 in Uppsala, Sweden at LJUDBIO XI quadrophonia festival, SLOTTSBIOGRAFEN by Girilal Baars http://www.slottsbio.se/ljudbio/om_kompositorerna/om_ljudbioXI/
