KLANG-CONNECTION - "SONGS, STORIES AND THINGS THAT GO DING" !
the kultbau is a deliciously, solubrious salon where i could just play all day. they have a fabulous programme of kultural events that are obscure to say the least, eccentric (sometimes) and often cross arts inspired. join us for a little uusflug (journey) into the realm of sound-art that plays in the spaces we instinctively share in our subconscious.
helen davey (voice piano and other things) and ferdi rauber (percussion, didjeridoo, voice, hand drums)
