Go fishing erzählt die Geschichte der jüdischen Zirkuskünstlerin Irene Bento, die sowohl in der Manege als auch im Privaten eine beispielhafte Willenskraft und Durchsetzungsfähigkeit zeigte.
Den Holocaust überlebte die talentierte Artistin dank ihres Mutes und der Unterstützung des deutschen Zirkusdirektors Adolf Althoff, der sie und ihre Familie in seinem Zirkus aufnahm und vor den Nationalsozialist*innen versteckte. Das geheime Stichwort, um zügig unterzutauchen, lautete dabei „Go fishing“. Adolf Althoff, seine Frau Maria Althoff, sowie weitere Zirkusmitarbeiter*innen riskiert

Circuit Fantôme Season 5 Episode 13 – Brii Bauer aka Power
2025-11-07 18:00 - 22:00 | Vronihof Kulturverein, Veronikagasse 24, Wien, 1170, Austria
https://floatingsound.at/
Brii Bauer aka Power has been busy organizing the Viennese underground scene for years. She has been curatiing various events, was a member of the live improvisations project Bird People, the techno live improvisations duo S.E.P. and founding part of the underground experimental punk band Ausländer.
She has worked as a music journalist for many years and co-worked on the publication round the viennese underground-scene “AUZine”.
She is founding member of the artist and DJ collectives Love Is Strange, Arsyugoslaviae, Pussy Trio or Fatalismus Spunk.
Since 2019, Power and tin.hoc have collaborated closely. Their shared approach is grounded in a process-oriented artistic practice, an interest in the unfinished, and a focus on fragmentation as a creative strategy. Both artists engage in methods of deconstruction, displacement, and recombination – Power in sound, tin.hoc in image.
In August 2021 Power and the american artist, componist and inventor of the accidental guitar, Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt founded the avant-garde experimental music duo Afghanistan Mon Amour. They communicate in a language of improvised sonic collages in a spiritual connection. The project has been releasing several albums, partizipating on many compilations and radio shows all over the world and performing in Vienna, Berlin or Graz. AMA collaborated with tin.hoc on many performances and among others with Käthe Kruse (Die Tödliche Doris).
They released in June 2025 their new album “Ein Tropfen Zeit” on Bandcamp.
For some time Power has been working on a CutUpLoops series. Brion Gysin discovered the cutting technique by chance in 1959 and pointed it out to William S. Burroughs, who was to become the most important exponent of CutUp. Power transfers the system from the word to the sound. For this purpose, loops are layered according to the CutUp technique, their speed changed and rearranged. Torn out of their context and edited beyond recognition, they yield themselves again and overhaul to a different whole that follows its own story. In 2018 Power released her debut tape “Lost Lipstick Loops” on the viennese underground label Mont House. Since that she had publications on different netlabels. In 2023 she published her own DIY CutUp adaption of the Vienna Danube Waltz for the opening of Vienna´s first Krandaubel museum as a soundpostcard on Vinylograph.
Power creates energetic CutUp landscapes, spherical tones with her self-made theremin and uses circuit bended found objects like manipulated old tape recorder or fliedrecordings in her compositions where she adds her own voice.
She recently collaborated with Mel E Logan (Chicks On Speed) for a concert at the Vienna Popfest and is currently preparing a solo performance.
In 2024 Brii Bauer made the sounddesign for the film essay “7 drachen und ein hund” (Andrea Seidling) and was head of the sound department on the film project “No Mercy” from Isa Willinger, commissioned by Flair Films (Vienna) & Tondowski Films (Berlin). The official film release will be 2026..
She is currently working as a composer on a film trilogy in collaboration with AKKU TV/ Andrea Seiding.
Her latest project is the event-series “Immer Wieder Sonntags” togehter with the artist Jakob Henneken aka Sinnthese and Natascha Muhic/ Vinylograph/ SSTR6 which started in spring 2025.
In her dj-sets she strictly refuses genres – her selections always capture moods, create vibrations and use a wide spectrum to move the dancefloor.

The music meticulously builds on itself, as two strangers from across the world weave percussive explosions, field samples, and forceful baritone saxophone melodies into something instantly solid & joyful. In an era of apathy and cynicism, this music is a reminder that the antidote to polarization is curiosity. Recent press:
• “An arresting tangle of minimalist electronic drones, rumbling drums and modal jazz sax freakouts.” – The Guardian
• “Their shared rapport has led to a frequently tuneful unspooling.” **** – Downbeat Magazine
• “Sofisticanti tentativi di fourth world music che da Hassell portano alle vibrazioni contemporanee di Natural Information Society” – Blow Up Magazine

The Shape of Uncertainty – Phantanoise© Kollektiv feat. Ayşe Deniz Birdal
No script, no safety net — only the fragile geometry of sound unfolding in the moment.
The Phantanoise© collective creates sonic spaces between structure and dissolution, between resonance and resistance. Electronics, B-flat clarinet, soprano saxophone, trumpet, bass, percussion, and cello intertwine to form a vibrant fabric of tension and silence.
Free improvisation as a collective process – immediate, risky, open to whatever emerges.

2025-11-21 20:00 - 22:00 | Wien
JOHN KLIRR & DIE TAMTAM BAGAGE
Album Release Show!
John Klirr conveys expressiveness and a love of linguistic detail. Embodied and embellished by a distinctive voice: “You’re almost gone with the light of the sun.” Inspired by diverse sounds, John Klirr addresses complex discrepancies and conveys them with the necessary power.
Energetically charged lyrics, formulated both harshly and gently, create a harmonious balance between remorseful narratives and daring, groovy songs. Together with his band, the “Tamtam Bagage,” the instruments howl and wail, wrapping themselves around his voice like a decorative garment. Always a bit unconventional, they enrich the audience. John Klirr & die Tamtam Bagage manage to express their versatility and fill the musical horizon with the greatest possible freedom. John Klirr tells stories that promise an entertaining concert experience.
ELSA TOOTSIE
Elsa Tootsie opens up worlds of sound that may be new to many ears. On his albums “Trickle Down” (2016) and “II” (2020), he shows us that he is just as devoted to classic songwriting as he is to the joyful exploration of boundless sonic universes. Here, conventions and expectations are thrown overboard with great joy. To describe his music, he unashamedly borrows a term from American literature: country noir. An exceptionally accentuated, raw, and raucous blend of dark melodies and sincere folk litany.

JOHN KLIRR & DIE TAMTAM BAGAGE
Album Release Show!
John Klirr vermittelt Ausdrucksstärke und Liebe zum sprachlichen Detail. Verkörpert und verziert durch eine markante Stimme:” You ́re almost gone with the light of the sun “.Inspiriert von vielseitigen Sounds thematisiert John Klirr vielschichtige Diskrepanzen und transportiert diese mit der nötigen Kraft.Energetisch geladene Texte, hart und sanft formuliert. Daraus entsteht ein harmonisches Gleichgewicht zwischen reumütigen Erzählungen und gewagt-groovigen Liedern. Gemeinsam mit der Band, die “Tamtam Bagage”, heulen und jaulen die Instrumente und legen sich wie ein schmückendes Kleid um seine Stimme. Immer gerne etwas unkonventionell – eine Bereicherung für die Zuhörerschaft. John Klirr & die Tamtam Bagage schaffen es, ihrer Vielseitigkeit Ausdruck zu verleihen und den musikalischen Horizont mit größtmöglicher Freiheit zu füllen. John Klirr erzählt Geschichten, die ein kurzweiliges Konzerterlebnis versprechen.
ELSA TOOTSIEElsa Tootsie eröffnet uns Klangwelten, die für so manches Ohr neu sein dürften. Auf seinen Alben „Trickle Down“ (2016) und „II“ (2020) zeigt er uns, dass er dem klassischen Songwriting ebenso zugetan ist wie der lustvollen Erkundung grenzenloser Klanguniversen. Hier werden Konventionen und Erwartungshaltungen mit großer Freude über Bord geworfen. Um seine Musik zu beschreiben, leiht er sich ungeniert einen Begriff aus der amerikanischen Literatur: Country Noir. Eine außergewöhnlich akzentuierte, rohe und raue Mischung aus düsteren Melodien und aufrichtiger Folk-Litanei.

Fischer, Quehenberger, Kern = Phenomenal World
There’s a new band in town, and it’s called Phenomenal World !
After years of crossing paths in the experimental music scene, Michael Fischer (feedback-saxophone), Didi Kern (drums), and Philipp Quehenberger (keyboard) have finally come together to record their first album. The result is a raw, dynamic exploration of sound —where intricate rhythmic play dances with shifting notions of time and space and melodies drift between tenderness and defiance, reappearing in subtle variations – blurring the line between chaos and coherence with effortless fluidity. Phenomenal World delivers a visceral sonic journey—where punk energy collides with the depth and unpredictability of free improvisation.
Michael Fischer arbeitet an der Sprachimmanenz von Klängen und ihrer skulpturalen und dramatischen Evidenz im Bereich der radikal frei improvisierten / experimentellen Musik. 1999 begann er, das akustische Phänomen Feedback in seine Arbeit zu integrieren und entwickelte ein ausschließlich analoges, effektfreies Instrument, das Feedback-Saxophon, das am ZKM – Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie Karlsruhe oder STEIM Amsterdam weiterentwickelt wurde. Er ist Gründer zahlreicher Ensembles, u.a. der langjährigen Projekte BAGG*FISH und M. A. D.; 2004 lancierte er das Vienna Improvisers Orchestra, das u.a. beim Moers-Festival (D), Wien Modern oder der Vienna Art Week aufgetreten ist. Als instant composition conductor arbeitet er mit zahlreichen Improvisationsorchestern und temporären Großensembles für internationale Festivals, Universitäten u. a. Institutionen. Seit Mitte der 90er Jahre Kooperationen in der internationalen Szene für Frei Improvisierte Musik und mit Schriftsteller:innen experimenteller Poesie; Tourneen und Festivalpräsenz in Europa, Kanada, USA und Japan. Zuletzt performative Lichtinstallationen NEON (für z.B. Donaufestival Krems, Künstlerhaus Wien) oder ColorRaySaxophone (V.esch). Guest-lecturer an z.B. Peabody Institute – The Johns Hopkins University/USA, University of California Irvine, Newcastle University/UK, Music Academy – University of Montenegro, Janáček Academy of Music and Performing Arts Brno, Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien, die Angewandte Wien u.a..
Dieter Kern ist nicht nur als präziser und vielseitiger Schlagzeuger der österreichischen Bands Bulbul und Fuckhead bekannt, sondern hat sich auch einen Ruf in der improvisierten und freien Jazzszene erspielt, indem er mit so namhaften Künstlern wie Satoko Fujii, Linda Sharrock, Saadet Türköz, Marshall Allen, Joe McPhee, Ken Vandermark und Mayo Thompson zusammengearbeitet hat. Inzwischen gilt er als einer der geschäftigsten Schlagzeuger der Wiener Szene. Didi hat sich als ein einfallsreicher, energischer Improvisator mit einem ausgeprägten Sinn für Humor etabliert. Er lebt und arbeitet in Wien.
Philipp Quehenberger, geboren 1977 in Innsbruck, aufgewachsen in Tirol, Seattle (US) und Newcastle (GB). Lebt und arbeitet als freelance Musiker und Komponist in Wien.

Einen Abend spontaner Klangforschung, an dem Arn, Chualan, Prehofer und Vicard für ein improvisiertes Erlebnis zusammenkommen, das über Genregrenzen sprengt. Verwurzelt in Avantgarde-Rock, freier Improvisation und experimenteller Klangkunst, erschafft das Quartett ein ständig wandelndes Geflecht aus Texturen, Rhythmen und Resonanzen. Meditative Klanglandschaften können sich zu ekstatischen Ausbrüchen verdichten, abenteuerliche Harmonien reiben sich aneinander und lösen sich wieder auf, während vier eigenständige Stimmen zu einem einzigen Strom kreativer Energie verschmelzen.

RAPHAEL ROGIŃSKI — QIRIM (live)
2026-01-13 19:30 - 22:00 | Zamani Orientteppiche, Währinger Straße 125, 1180 Vienna, Wien, Wien, 1180, Austria
QIRIM — a meditative live performance exploring sound, memory, and spirituality — in the intimate and exceptional setting of the carpet store Zamani Orientteppiche in Währinger Straße 125, 1180 Wien
“Qirim” is a musical journey into the culture of the Crimean Tatars and the wider, fractured world of Crimea. Drawing on archival songs, Eastern musical traditions, improvisation, and Rogiński’s long-standing research as an ethnomusicologist, the project unfolds as a living, breathing organism. Echoes of Sufism, mourning songs, and the vast pulse of the steppe intertwine with deeply personal reflections, creating an immersive and contemplative listening experience.
As we move into the coming year, one thing becomes increasingly clear to us: Listening is an active, social, and embodied act.This evening is conceived as a small and focused gathering — an invitation to listen together, attentively and without distraction, allowing sound, space, and presence to shape the experience.
