When we are drowning in instability, creativity can be the saving anchor, as Simon Berz, the guest of the upcoming «Chromatic Wednesdays» edition, states. In his project Rockingdesk, he improvises over musical notations, making them vibrate and translating them into images that accompany the sound. By amplifying the material he finds in notations and developing flaws, he expresses impermanence in his performances. In the performance of the second guest, Georg Werner, instability results from the unpredictability of the radio programs that he uses in his experimental music. He plays a self-built instrument, which controls three radios via a step sequencer, recombining what can be heard on this medium.
