Les Marquises and Grisha Mumrikov: Electronic Sound Worlds in Bonn
On Friday, October 23, 2026, the Dialogue Space Kreuzung at St. Helena in Bonn will transform into a laboratory for free improvisation, electroacoustic textures, and pulsating live atmosphere. Les Marquises meet Grisha Mumrikov and open an evening within the framework of Soundtrips NRW 79 between accordion, drums, clarinet, bass clarinet, turntable, and electronics.
When Accordion Meets Electronics
Since 2019, Les Marquises have been combining the accordion of Emilie Škrijelj with the drums of Tom Malmendier, expanding their sound through vinyl records, modular synthesizers, and field recordings. The instrument appears not only as a melodic voice but also as a percussive and noisy tool. From the smallest sound particles arise movable patterns, abrupt breaks, and multifaceted electroacoustic spaces.
Improvisation with Sharp Timing
Tom Malmendier brings his autodidactically developed sound language and his experience from the European improvisation scene. Together with Škrijelj, he forms a stage performance based on synchronization, spontaneous reaction, and precise timing. The sound remains constantly in motion: sometimes racing fast and playful, sometimes reduced, tense, and almost physically perceptible.
Grisha Mumrikov Expands the Sound Space
With Grisha Mumrikov, a musician joins who integrates clarinet, bass clarinet, and electronics into the concert. The combination of woodwinds, rhythmic energy, and electronic sound processing promises an open musical dramaturgy, where no moment remains entirely predictable. Instead of fixed genre boundaries, a concert experience emerges between contemporary music, experimental electronics, and free improvisation.
Soundtrips NRW: Musical Journey Through North Rhine-Westphalia
The concert series Soundtrips NRW stands for international and regional encounters in the sign of improvised music. For many years, it has brought together unusual line-ups, independent sound concepts, and curious audiences. The Bonn evening continues this tradition with a line-up that connects acoustic instruments, turntables, and electronic methods to an immediate live sound.
An Evening for Curious Ears
Those who want to experience music not only by hearing but by witnessing its creation will find a special concert evening here. The intimate atmosphere of the dialogue space allows the finest sounds, rhythmic shifts, and electronic layering to emerge immediately. Light, room acoustics, and audience proximity become part of a musical situation that only fully unfolds in the moment.
Conclusion: Les Marquises and Grisha Mumrikov promise a concentrated, surprising concert experience in Bonn for all who appreciate experimental music, electroacoustic improvisation, and unusual instrumental combinations. Those who want to experience the sound of accordion, drums, clarinet, and electronics live should mark October 23, 2026, on their calendars.
