Ondrey Zintaer, Christoph Götzen and Peter Balog met in summer at an improvisation workshop during the n:ear festival in Banska Stiavnica, where they performed together in the n:ear ensemble. The magical atmosphere combined with the workshop itself, the weather, the magical place and the festival and its musical productions encouraged them to meet again. Christoph Götzen is a seasoned guitarist living in Düsseldorf. He studied jazz guitar in Antwerp at the Royal Conservatory. Today, in addition to being an active performer, he organises concerts and improvisation workshops. Peter Balog is a visual artist from Humenne, Slovakia. He has been playing drums and percussion all his life, alongside painting and graphic design, but this will be his first performance as a percussionist. Ondrey Zintaer, the initiator of this meeting, is a solo player of electroacoustic compositions combining wind instruments together with synthesizers or box noise. In addition to his many collaborations, he sings in the band Destroyer and has played with the Bratislava Improvisers Orchestra.
Dear visitors,
The leadership of the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic is taking steps that are destroying Slovak culture! Their power interventions and changes in laws threaten our functioning as well as freedom and diversity of art. We protest against this course! The cultural centers associated in the Anténa network call on you, our audience, not to stay indifferent. We call on you to follow current events, visit our cultural spaces and discuss.
Stay with us and let’s fight together for free culture.
