9⁰ (7)

January 2024

To celebrate its 15th anniversary, 901 Editions launches a virtual residency program, inviting artists to share their creative process during the time span of a month. They have no pressure on any side and are really free to do whatever they want. We encourage them to focus on a specific theme/concept or methodology of their choice, as well as to follow their own spontaneity. We believe that uncertainty and hesitation are part of the creative process and have their own value. Life is a process, we learn by doing. The pieces will be uploaded irregularly on a dedicated Bandcamp page, only when artists are willing to do so. Just for the residency period, we offer the work as “free / name your price”. We called the residency program 9⁰, playing with the numbers 9, 0, and 1: any number to the power of 0 is always 1.

ELENA KAKALIAGOU, born in 1979, is a Greek-Austrian French horn player and performer living in Berlin. After her studies in classical music in Greece, Austria and Finland, and inspired by new, folk and experimental music, Elena developed her own language on the French horn; lyrical and mellow, angry as a wild animal or a stormy sea, calm as the wind or the soft rain. Elena's music can be heard on more than 20 musical albums, among others the ones of her duo Nabelóse, her trio Zinc & Copper, solo, and plenty of collaborations of free, experimental, composed and new music. She is an active member of the free improv scene of Berlin and plays with zeitkratzer and Stefan Schultze Large Ensemble, next to various new music ensembles. For info about past and current collaborations, concerts, venues, festivals and stage performances, please visit her website.
