Sara Zlanabitnig – flutes, voice, whistles
Milena Georgieva – modular synthesizer, live electronics, voice, whistles
BRRRDS – Christine Gnigler, Maja Osojnik and Sara Zlanabitnig – have been exploring the realms of improvisation, concept and composition together since 2022. As +Y, Milena Georgieva, aka yuzu, takes up this flute-inspired exploration of sound using a modular synthesizer and live electronics, causing the acoustic sounds to take on ever-changing forms. With a palpable sense of weightlessness, the four musicians navigate between leadership and response, unison and contrast, condensation and dispersion. Just like a flock of birds, every shift alters the whole: sounds react to one another, swarm around each other, condense and then disperse again – constantly rearranging themselves in relation to one another, open to whatever may emerge in the next moment.
GLASHAUS
With their debut album *Glashaus*, BRRRDS+Y create an imaginary biotope that straddles the line between improvisation and composition. Damp earth, the depths of the sea, swarms, fungal spores and mist serve as starting points for bio-utopian soundscapes. Flutes and recorders, ocarinas, vocals, sound objects, live electronics, a modular synthesiser and field recordings come together to form an open-ended musical landscape in which, sound by sound, new spaces open up and ever-changing paths through *Glashaus* are revealed.
