Berlin-based duo The Long Form have committed themselves to the study and performance of music in the tuning system called “extended just intonation”. Playing on microtonal bass flute and double bass, these performers are deeply attuned to the nuances of vibration. They will perform a 21st century masterpiece by committed composer Catherine Lamb, Muto Infinitas. In this piece, the sound of the two instruments intertwines to form an ever-expanding sequence […]

The curators of Audible Edge, Annika Moses & Josten Myburgh, invite you for a reflective discussion on the festival. Why was Audible Edge the way it was? What challenges were faced in pulling it together? How did it actually go? What was good about it? What didn’t work?
