Edith Steyer ::: amplified clarinet, fx

Beat Keller ::: feedbacker electric guitar

The german - suisse duo Steyer and Keller is exploring the field of feedbacking and alternative sound creation with their acoustic instruments via extended techniques and electronic devices. While interacting constantly with each other, they are weaving and mixing noisy elements with acoustic and sometimes tonal or even melodic phrases. The in and out of electronic and acoustic sound production, paired with a constant search for particular textures between guitar and clarinet lead to a sonic web, that is sometimes transparent, sometimes not distinguishable in its layers. Like natural architects they build scapes with tonal waves and noises.

Edith Steyer is a free improvising and composing clarinet and saxophone player with her roots in jazz and classical music. As a former student for social anthropology she is also interested in ethnic music. She is dedicated to the exploration of her instruments and
prepares them with music tools and elements from every day life. She also experiments and combines the prepared instruments with electronic devices and feedback. While constantly expanding her solo concepts, she also loves to create intelligently woven nets of interaction and noisy fields of sound with other artists. As a part of the improvised and experimental music scene of Berlin, she works in bands like SORBD (w/MiaDyber g, Rieko Okuda, Isabel Rößler, Sofia Borges), La Primera Boca (w/Lorena Izquierdo), but she also worked in electro-acoustic groups, like Steyer/Scharnofske (w/Lizzy Scharnofske), and currently with HOMO PHASER (w/Beat Keller) and Shortest Job First (w/Pietro Frigato, Dominic Jasmin). In Berlin she founded the musical theatre groups “Das Wilde Klingen” and contributed to “Mann Aus Obst”. She got different grants for her work, like from the Senate of Berlin (2016, 2020), the Musikfond (2020), as a member of the music theatre group "Mann aus Obst" from the Initiative Neue Musik, from Deutscher Musikrat (2022) and Goethe Institut (2024).
