Anmari Mëtsa Yabi Wili — Composition of the electronic track, concept
Aboard the cultural cargo ship Lorin, an expanded compositional concept emerged for both practical and artistic reasons.
The subtle sounds of John Cage’s works for two prepared pianos are expanded into a new sonic universe through the
autonomous electronic composition of Anmari Mëtsa Yabi Wili.
Waves, passing boats, voices and the unpredictable sounds of the surrounding environment are part of the reality on board. Instead of avoiding these disturbances, they become an integral part of an expanded spatial sound concept.
The electronic layer is not an arrangement, but an autonomous composition in dialogue with John Cage’s original scores. The prepared pianos themselves remain unchanged — but the listening experience is radically expanded.
Visual projections complement the musical structure with a visual dimension and transform the cargo hold into an audiovisual resonance space.
Programme:
John Cage / Anmari Mëtsa Yabi Wili
Three Dances (1944–45)
A Book of Music (1944)
for two prepared Grand Pianos with sonic electronic extensions

2nd: SATELLITE ÜBERNACHTMUSIK
a night between concert, dance, drones and chill
AMYW:
Voice, Ondes Martenot, Grand Piano prepared, Wurlitzer E-Piano
FLORIAN OBERHAUSER:
Modular Synthesizer & electronic surprises
One night aboard the Cultural Cargo Boat Lorin. Six hours between concert, sound space and chill.
Inside Lorin’s CargoSpace await a dancefloor, plush sofa beds, double mattresses, tatamis, yoga mats, armchairs, the Tiger chair and a pink two-seater sofa — a space ready to vibrate with its visitors and surrender itself to the movements of the night.
AMYW improvises with prepared piano, Ondes Martenot solos, driving Wurlitzer patterns, voice and poetry. Florian Oberhauser takes up this material, builds live loops, sends them through effects and merges them with the modular synthesizer — drones, harmonic textures, wild arpeggios, stochastic melodies and rhythmic gate patterns. A permeable system between two performers breathing throughout the night.
Referencing Mozart’s Eine kleine Nachtmusik, ÜBERNACHTMUSIK develops as a satellite of LP26: a format between wakefulness and dream, born from the audience’s desire for a longer nocturnal version of are you there? #5.
Florian Oberhauser works at the intersection of electronic music, technology and experimental sound systems. As founder of the Basel branch of Les Digitales, he brings a distinctive voice of the Swiss electronic music scene aboard.

a commissioned composition by the Ukrainian composer Oleksandra Sasha Katsalap,
an improvisation concert with Anmari Mëtsa Yabi Wili and Johanna Monk,
as well as Khrystyna Kirik’s performance State of Latitude dedicated to Ukrainian landscapes marked by war.
