Back in Berlin after a great week at Elastic Arts in Chicago as artist in residence as part of the Exposure series. Played improvised sets with the incredible Jim Baker, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Dave Rempis, Kent Kessler, Mike Reed. Also performed new composed and newly arranged music for the octet w Macie Stewart, Katherine Young, Josh Berman, Jason Stein, Paul Giallorenzo, Jason Roebke, Phil Sudderberg. Thanks so much everyone for your great musician and friendship!! Thank you Goethe Institut Chicago!! Workshop on free improvisation was totally fun, too. As well as the interview at Radio WNUR. You play the right music. Heard great concerts of Hamid Drake, Jason Adasiewcz, Josh Abrams at Constellation and happening organ quartet of Ted Sirota at the green mill. And the tuesday night jamsession at the Hungry Brain with master of ceremony Greg Ward. Fun hangs and conversations. And not to forget this amazing hallway at Elastic. You wouldn´t believe it really exists. Love, x Silke
