Conversation concert: Annie Bloch und Ludwig Wandinger, December 8, 2024

We are looking forward to the next conversation concert with the Cologne musician Annie Bloch and Ludwig Wandinger, Signature Artist of the Monheim Triennale II. They present a joint musical work at the Monheim Triennale Artist Residency, and answer questions of curator Thomas Venker.

The concert will take place on Sunday, December 8 at 1 pm in the Villa am Greisbachsee.
Admission is free, registration is required due to limited seating capacity.

In October, drummer and visual artist Ludwig Wandinger released his new album ”Is Peace Wild?“ (Light Years, 2024). The almost beatless and consistently sublime album features hypnotic lyrical contributions from the multidisciplinary artist, complemented by contributions from his friend, poet and activist Yves B. Golden, and singer Evita Manji.

Annie Bloch takes an ephemeral feeling and shapes it into a character in her songs. Her sound remains human, raw and direct, striving not for perfection but for utopia. She mixes acoustic drums, guitar and clarinets with electric guitars and colorful synths, immersing you in their harmony and enveloping you in the velvety warmth of her voice. ”Four Trips To The Shop“ (Papercup Records, 2024) describes the inner storm that arises while shopping or how nostalgia overcomes you while ordering a coffee. The ephemeral becomes concrete for the duration of a song.
