In the concert series Trigger Plus the acoustic wind trio Trigger invites internationally renowned guest musicians working in the field of electro acoustic music. Together they explore the meeting of instrumental, acoustic generated music with analog and digital generated music. The second edition of the series Trigger Plus will feature the french sound artist Jerome Noetinger, who is working in the tradition of the musique concrete, with a reel to reel tape recorder, using archived sound material, field recordings and live sound processing.

Jerome Noetinger was born 25th April 1966 (Marseille, France). He followed his musical training in electroacoustic music under the direction of Xavier Garcia in Grenoble (France) from 1986 to 1988. He works as a composer,improviser and sound artist with electroacoustic devices. He is using electroacoustic devices such as the reel to reel tape recorder Revox A77 and magnetic tape, analogue synthesisers, mixing desks, speakers, microphones, various electronic household objects and home-made electronica. He is performing both solo and in ensembles, and collaborating often, and touring extensively internationally. He is one of the three founding members of the Metamkine intervention cell (Cellule d’Intervention Metamkine) since 1987, alongside french cinĂ©asts Christophe Auger and Xavier QuĂ©rel . He has collaborated with longtime partner Lionel Marchetti since 1993 and played with Nachtluft, Voice Crack, Tom Cora, Michel Doneda, LĂȘ Quan Ninh, Martine Altenburger, Emmanuel Petit, Marc Pichelin, Jean Pallandre, Dominique RĂ©pĂ©caud, Peter Hollinger, Keith Rowe, and avant-improv orchestra MIMEO (since 1997). He runs the Metamkine Record label (and was responsible for curating its ‘Collection CinĂ©ma pour l’oreille’ series) and is currently a member of the editorial board of French magazine Revue & CorrigĂ©e.

Trigger works in the context of improvised music with the shaping of a homogeneous overall sound. The three instruments act as generators of noise and sound using advanced playing techniques such as circular breathing, split-tones, multiphonics and air sounds. The result is a complex, dense and driving music in long forms that is permanently changing and renewed.

Trigger’s “The Fire Throws” on Insubordinations

Chris Heenan (* 1969) is an active composer/performer and curator of experimental music. He performs on a variety of reed instruments and analog synthesizer in contexts ranging from solo to large groups from ad hoc configurations to various ongoing collaborative projects, investigating new musical forms, noise, and improvisation. He has developed a formidable voice on his wind instruments, particularly with the contrabass clarinet where he uses extended techniques, often incorporating multiphonics with surprising results, to reveal the subtleties inherent to the instrument.

Trigger arbeitet im Kontext der Improvisierten Musik an der Gestaltung eines homogenen Gesamtklanges. Die drei Blasinstrumente agieren – mithilfe von erweiterten Spieltechniken wie Zirkularatmung, SpaltklĂ€ngen, Multiphonics und LuftgerĂ€uschen – als Generatoren von GerĂ€uschen und Tönen. Hieraus resultiert eine vielschichtige, dichte und treibende Musik, die sich in großen Bögen permanent verĂ€ndert und erneuert.

Chris Heenan (* 1969) ist ein aktiver Komponist/Performer und Kurator experimenteller Musik. Er performt mit einer Reihe von Rohrblattinstrumenten und Analog-Synthesizer in verschiedenen Konstellationen – von Solo-Auftritten bis zu großen Ensembles, von ad hoc entstehenden Formationen bis hin zu diversen fortlaufenden kollaborativen Projekten –, wobei er neue musikalische Formen, GerĂ€usche und Improvisation erkundet. Heenan verfĂŒgt ĂŒber einen einzigartigen Klang mit seinen Blasinstrumenten – insbesondere mit der Kontrabassklarinette, fĂŒr welche er erweiterte Techniken wie Multiphonics anwendet, die zu ĂŒberraschenden klanglichen Resultaten fĂŒhren – und offenbart mit seinem Spiel die Feinheiten des jeweiligen Instruments.

Matthias MĂŒller (* 1971) zog 2004 nach Berlin und spielt seitdem regelmĂ€ĂŸig mit international anerkannten Improvisatoren wie John Edwards, Mark Sanders, Johannes Bauer, Olaf Rupp, Paul Lovens, Toshimaru Nakamura, Clayton Thomas, Axel Dörner u.v.a. Er ist Mitglied im Splitter Orchester, dem 24-köpfigen Ensemble der Berliner Echtzeitmusik-Szene, und spielte viele Jahre in Albert Mangelsdorffs Deutsch-französischem Jazzensemble. Neben der improvisierten Musik tritt MĂŒller auch als Interpret von Neuer Musik und Theatermusik in Erscheinung und hat mit seinen eigenen Projekten bisher mehr als 20 CDs veröffentlicht.

Nils Ostendorf (* 1977) hat auf der Trompete einen ganz eigenen Stil entwickelt, der von NaturgerĂ€uschen, zeitgenössischer experimenteller Musik und elektronischen KlĂ€ngen inspiriert ist. Er war in den letzten Jahren vorwiegend im Feld der Improvisierten Musik tĂ€tig und arbeitet zur Zeit mit den Formationen Trigger und The Silencers sowie in Duos mit Michel Doneda und Kim Myhr. Er spielte Tourneen in ganz Europa, USA und Kanada und veröffentlichte zahlreiche CDs. Ostendorf arbeitet außerdem international als Komponist, musikalischer Leiter, Produzent und Liveperformer fĂŒr Theater- und Tanzproduktionen zusammen mit den Regisseuren Mikael Serre, Marius von Mayenburg, Yael Ronen und Thomas Ostermeier.
