Teresa Riemann (*1988, Dachau) is a Berlin based multi-instrumentalist, performanceartist and poetess. A curious mind that seeks the holes in the ground, windows to another world, often discredited as ‘échappatoires’ (engl. = escapism).
Instead of literature, art or music, being shocked at an early age by the terror and destruction that art teachers inflicted on their pupils, she decided to protect her expression from hostile influences and the normalized logic of exploitation and studied the human mind instead. She had entered the music world with piano lessons at 6 years old, left classical education at age 16 behind and started to explore different instruments on her own: Guitars, Cello and since 2012 the drums. Since then she has developed her very unique style of convulsive percussion. She accompanies her drumming with the eclectic use of her fragmented voice, frenetically reciting bribes of the living memory of humankind.
Besides her solo projects on drums and on piano (A tender kiss into the void), she plays in the groups TRAS (Asja Skrinik – Electronics & Vocals; Teresa Riemann – drums & vocals), Shake the Train (Damien Jaroszonek – modular synthesizers; Lukas Huerta Rueckner – trumpet, harmonica, vocals; Teresa Riemann – drums, vocals) and Naked in the Zoo (Ruben Tenenbaum – violin, Teresa Riemann – drums, vocals).
Roslyn Steer is a Cork-based musician known for her work both as a solo artist and in collaboration with groups such as Crevice (with Elaine Howley and Irene Buckley), and the Cork Improvised Music Club. Her sound touches on folk, pop, ambient, drone, and improvised musics and is usually well soaked in reverb. Live shows weave layers of double bass and vocals into captivating soundscapes, unique to each performance.
