On Friday, February 20, Berlin-based artist Annette Krebs will be giving a performance at Sala Diaz as part of John Mata’s exhibit, Sala Diaz is Open. The performance starts at 9:30 pm, and is free & open to the public.
Annette Krebs has worked extensively in the crossover area between improvisation and composition, exploring the possibilities of the prepared guitar with regard to sound, structure, noise, the mixing of materials, and space. Various preparation methods are used to produce noises and sounds, which are then enlarged through the use of sometimes high levels of amplification. The sound of the amplification and mixing boards, additional tapes, radios and objects are used as musical material.
Krebs was a member of the groundbreaking post-minimalist creative ensemble Phosphor, and has collaborated with Keith Rowe, Sachiko M, Kaffe Matthews, Robin Hayward, Toshimaru Nakamura, Taku Sugimoto, and many others.
