Tropico Del Cancer (DK/EC:
Tropico Del Cancer's minimalist and poetic sound universe evokes the roots of the world and the magic of dreams. Through his many travels to the Andes Mountains, the Amazon rainforest, Lapland, and along the Ganges River, he has gathered a diversity of instruments and impressions.
Marimba, harmonicas, kalimbas, hammered dulcimer, synthesizers, and various percussion instruments come together in an organic landscape. It can be raw and acoustic or electronically processed, sometimes warm and groovy, other times beautifully chaotic or ethereal. Each concert is unique, often site-specific, and includes improvisation.
For this intimate performance, Tropico Del Cancer will occupy the small, dome-shaped room at Metronomen, closely surrounded by the audience. He will work with the room's lively acoustics, creating a collective, immersive blanket of soothing soundscapes.
Irene Bianco (IT)
Irene Bianco provides a visionary and experimental sound that pushes the boundaries of percussion in unexpected directions.
The live set includes vintage percussion instruments, objects, electronics, and field recordings that merge together, liberating an incredibly colorful and non-cliché instrumental music world.
The music has been described as sound poetry, where polyrhythms and fragmented melodies take the listener on a journey to explore the spontaneous and unconventional, leaving space for unpredictability and whimsy.
Irene Bianco is a percussionist, free improviser, and composer based in Copenhagen. She started playing the drum kit at an early age and later trained as a classical percussionist. Her musical influences span from baroque and orchestral music to 90s rock and club music.
In addition to her solo work, she is an active freelancer and a member of Damkapellet and Wolfskin Ensemble. Her debut solo album Kronblade was released in October 2024 on the London-based label Permanent Draft.
