Hybrid Sessions is a monthly series at Kampus Hybernská. We feature an opening improvised duo set with two musicians coming from different backgrounds to form a new constellation. Afterwards, we host a jam session open to all musicians, regardless of background. We want to create an open environment where musicians feel free to be creative in the moment, nothing is predetermined and the only expectation is a high level of presence. A basic backline will be provided.
Additionaly we're open for people to suggest the line up of the group so the group doesn't have to be currated by us anymore. Anyway we want to keep Hybrid Sessions being a platform for experimenting so please: no already existing bands.
This time they will perform Edith Steyer (clarinet) a Jan Klamm (electronics).
Jan Klamm
He studied Bohemian Studies at FFUP and FFUK. In addition to his journalistic and editorial activities, he is mainly engaged in music — as a publisher (Klang-und-Krach, Blood in the Boat), dramaturg (A2+, Kontra2punkt festival) and musician in many experimental and improvisational groups. In addition, he breeds cats.
Edith Steyer
An improvising clarinet and saxophone player with roots in jazz and serious music of the 20th century. As a former student of social anthropology, she is also interested in ethnic music. He devotes himself to the exploration of his instruments and works with various elements such as drumheads, water and wind, and more recently also with electronic devices. In addition to working on a solo concept, her main interest is to create intelligently woven interactions and soundscapes with other artists. For this, it uses temmbr, ruchy, and tonal or melodic fragments.
He is also currently working on expanding the technical possibilities inherent in the clumsy fingering of the “old-fashioned” German clarinet system. The challenge to motor skills acts as a source of inspiration for developing ideas for tonal and instrumental deconstruction and compositional construction. He also works in various musical theatre groups and is very interested in using space as an element in his work.
