QNQ began with Albrecht Maurer, Matthias Mainz, de Campo and Hoelzl. A later incarnation included Joker Nies; this will be the first concert with Mario de Vega. Having played together in different contexts, we find the combination of characters and playing attitudes in this band quite magical. anything can and will influence the improvised flow of events, idiosyncrasies of the analog instruments, software glitches, extraneous noise. Earlier incarnations of this band liked to explore the strength of quietness (in German, Leisstaerke), i.e. the lower dynamic fringes of New Music as much as musique concrete, fragmented jazz moments, and abstract electronic sound. The new constellation here may turn out quite different again.
