TEHO TEARDO & BLIXA BARGELD
Teho Teardo & Blixa Bargeld are moving their performance to the ARCHY+ space! Already on 6 December, the duo TT & BB will present themselves to all lovers of exceptional musical experiences - the frontman of Einstürzende Neubauten Blixa Bargeld and the award-winning Italian composer and musician Teho Teardo, who, in addition to his collaboration with Girls Against Boys or Lydia Lunch, has composed soundtracks for films by Paolo Sorrentino and Gabriele Salvatore, will literally "perform" their musical project. Accompanied by cellist Laura Bisceglia, clarinetist Gabriele Coen and a string quartet, they will play compositions from their previous albums together, as well as new compositions written since their last, hopelessly sold-out concert in the Czech Republic. The concert is organized by 10:15 Entertainment.
Christian & Mauro is the third collaborative album by Teha Tearda and Blixy Bargeld. It comes almost eight years after the previous release Nerissimo and was produced by the two personalities and Boris Wilsdorf at Basement Recordings in Rome and andereBaustelle in Berlin. The title of the recording, which consists of the real names of both musicians, refers to a much more personal level of the compositions. Both play a great breadth of instruments, including "mythological keys" that can play with ciphers, letters, signs, sounds and noises. The album contains ten tracks including Bisogna Morire, known as Homo Figuit Velut Umbra (Man flees like a shadow), as well as the post-war composition Starkregen, Rimangono (Stay remaining!), written before the covid pandemic, and Dear Carlo, written by Blixa Bargeld through correspondence with Italian astrophysicist Carlo Rovelli on the nature of the universe.
The collaboration between the two personalities began with the 2013 debut album Still Smiling and continued in 2016 with Nerissimo. Their music combines the avant-garde with cosiness, cacophony with melody and linguistic abysses with beauty.
