Fragile confinement by There is no air in Space (Berlin)

Unable to create sound together on their respective instruments and forced to confine their normal sound making due to Covid-19 restrictions, Jana De Troyer (BE- saxophone) and Kelsey Cotton (AU- voice) seek not only to discover how they can improvise together online, but also how they can embrace these limitations to make site-specific free improvisations within their quarantine environment. Over the course of their lockdown in Hamburg they have adapted their collaborative practice by turning their attention to their quarantine environment and exploring the sound possibilities of the everyday objects surrounding them. Through improvisation, Jana and Kelsey consider these objects as instruments that could replace, expand or add to their own instrumental practice. They explore what new and creative sound worlds are offered in an environment shaped by its limitations. There is no air in Space is a contemporary duo specialising in the creation, performance and curation of the weird, the wild and the wonderful. Co-founded by Jana De Troyer and Kelsey Cotton, TINAIS ventures into new sound worlds and spaces, exploring the boundaries of the saxophone and voice—two instruments dependent on the power of the human breath. There is no air in Space is based in Hamburg, Germany.
