Monument Festival 2022: Polygonia (live)

~ Deep Breakfast 228 by Marja Burchard & Polygonia ~

~ This live set was recorded at Goethe Institut, Kolkata on April 2023 during their ambient music workshop ~

Marja Burchard is a composer, performer, artist and multi-instrumentalist. She was born as the only daughter of Christian Burchard, the founder of the music band Embryo. Having born and raised within the band, she has taken the role of leading the band herself since the death of her father in 2018. She has toured with Embryo in several countries around the world, including Japan, Morocco, Turkey, England, India etc. After studying ethnology, Slavic philology and musicology at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, Marja devoted herself solely to music. Since the age of nineteen until now she has been playing and composing in other bands like: Karl Hektor and the Malcouns, Radio Citizen, Karaba, Express Brass Band, World Wide Wig, Séferia and Jisr. Since 2018, she has been composing music for plays such as "Shush" by Eszter Tompa at Teatrul Gong in Sibiu (Romania), "Kill the Audience" by Rabih Mroué at the Kammerspiele in Munich, at the puppet theatre "Theater Ananas" in Munich, as well as for the street theatre AntagonTheateraktion from Frankfurt am Main, with which she has performed at various international theatre festivals such as in Brazil, Siberia, Romania, etc. Since 2015 she has been working with the Finnish dancer Anna Orkolainen, with whom she has developed, composed and performed many pieces such as "Die Regentrude", "Spiderweb", Porotanssi" or "der letzte Seraphim". She lives and works in Munich. Apart from being a singer she plays several instruments like the vibraphone, piano, organ, accordion, trombone, santoor, marimba, drums and percussion instruments.

Polygonia represents a multidisciplinary music and art project conceived by Lindsey Wang from Munich, Germany. The soundscape of her own productions conveys a mystical, organic character and is characterized by driving complex rhythms. Polygonia’s sound palette ranges from energetic, dark deep techno to downtempo, grey area to textural and/or harmonic ambient. In addition, motifs from nature play a major role in many of her productions. Her DJ and live sets are characterized by a hypnotizing effect that invites one to completely lose oneself in the complex world of sounds for a longer period of time. Polygonia has already visited numerous of international prestigious venues. She is now a regular at Tresor or Berghain in Berlin, Blitz or Rote Sonne in Munich to name a few. Together with the artists Dycide and MTRL, she established her collective and label IO in 2018. In 2021, Polygonia launched the collaborative band project Lyder with the musicians Niklas Bühler and Moritz Stahl, focusing on the fusion of jazz and electronic music. In July 2022, she founded her own label QEONE. In addition, she manages the premiere and podcast platform Hadal Resonance.

Deep Breakfast 228 ~ Marja Burchard & Polygonia Live @ Goethe Institut, Kolkata

Hiii was back on NTS radio presenting the amazing Munich trio @lyderlyderlyder for a grounding session to dive into the depth of 𝓢𝓬𝓸𝓻𝓹𝓲𝓸 𝓼𝓮𝓪𝓼𝓸𝓷.
🎷 Lyder, is a music project blending jazz instrumental practices and electronic music, by Lindsey Wang (aka Polygonia), Niklas Bühler (aka FTP Doctor), and Moritz Stahl (aka odizouu). Their fusion of jazz and electronic genres through improvisation and sound effects crafts an eclectic sonic journey from emotive soundscapes to vibrant rhythms.  
✨ November's 𝓢𝓬𝓸𝓻𝓹𝓲𝓸 𝓼𝓮𝓪𝓼𝓸𝓷 will bring pivotal celestial movements, offering both challenges and opportunities for growth. 

Thank you @lyderlyderlyder for coming onto the show and sharing this soothing & lush journey.

NTS RADIO GIGI FM PRESENTS LYDER NOV 23K

As we enjoyed this one a lot, Simon Popp and I wanted to share our live improvisation session for Intimacy Quarterly at Blitz Club Munich from January 2024. 
Simon Popp is a very talented jazz drummer who is capable of creating complex yet beautiful sound art with his big variety of timbres in his drum set. Following the aesthetics and ideas of our collab album 'Candid' on the Munich based label Squama records, we created a little sonic journey with loads of sound design experiments.
