Rashad Becker @ Kosmetiksalon Babette | Berlin 25.04.19

Rashad Becker https://rashadbecker.bandcamp.com/ Rashad Becker is a composer and musician residing in Berlin. His compositions are multilayered narratives populated by an ensemble of sonic entities, some smug, some shy, some agitators, others ready to surrender. Often there’s a tragic-comical touch, like a cartoon version of what could be a requiem from a dream (or just as much a fertility dance from another dimension). Recent works include the cycle Traditional Music Of Notional Species released across two volumes on PAN, and a multi-part work called Based On A True Story that derives scores from historical occurrences in a sort of ‘sonic staging’. In this context, he is currently commissioned by New York-based ensemble Alarm Will Sound and Berlin string ensemble Kaleidoskop. listen to the complete concert:   / rashad-becker-at-kosmetiksalon-babette-250...   // Grüntaler is a mobile project for contemporary music and sound art FB:   / gruntaler   Camera: Ben Plefka / Michel Plefka Video Edit: Ben Plefka https://www.ben-plefka.de/ mastered by Gouod Records - https://www.gouod-records.de
