Both more and less than itself

BOTH MORE AND LESS THAN ITSELF is a new collaborative project that grows out of a dense network of previous collaborations, with shared projects between the members setting the ground for new connections.

The previously existing constellations have developed their own aesthetics and practices over time, with distinctive sound worlds and methods of interaction. These accumulated experiences and memories are brought into the sextet. The project is not simply a meeting of six individuals but also of the ensembles and histories they bring into the collective.
The ensemble has a wide instrumental range, with setups moving between acoustic sources, experimental amplification, electronics and preparations. With this, they will develop a 60–80 minute set during a residency at Studioboerne45. A variety of collaborative strategies will be put into practice, using improvisation, different forms of notation or any other means necessary.
