“Reminiscence”

On Friday, the 20th of October Manzi Art Space will present the concert “Reminiscence” featuring Kryshe, Sound Awakener and zither artist Nguyen ThuyDung. The concert highlights a sonic/musical dialogue where memories and personal experience are an important part of the performance. With ambient and experimental material, the sonic arrangement and experiments create a journey for the listeners; a journey of imagination, inner landscapes, dreams and life events.
 
Kryshe (Christian Grothe)

Kryshe is an ambient project of German electronic artist/producer Christian Grothe.
Kryshe’s exquisitely subtle and detailed ambient work resonates with chilly grandeur. Across spacious vistas reminiscent of the collaborative work of Eno and Budd, delicate yet assured melodies unfurl before being subjected to delicate manipulation. This is enveloping, minimal music with a fragility that belies its emotional potency.
