Eiko Ishibashi, Oren Ambarchi & crys cole, Alessandra Novaga– ReiheM

Eight hours is not a day - music, life, family history. A child photo of her father was the occasion for the Japanese singer-songwriter Eiko Ishibashi to deal with the effects of the private and collective silence about Japan's warlike expansion policy in the 20th century on her latest album "The Dream My Bones Dream" (2018).

The Milanese Alessandra Novaga is one of the most striking European experimental guitarists who succeeded with her concept album "Fassbinder Wunderkammer" (2017), on which she deconstructed Peer Raven's classic film tunes with her electric guitars, in paying impressive homage to the critical post-war generation.
The experimental musicians crys cole and Oren Ambarchi process their experiences as artists and lovers on a world tour in their concerts and records such as the double album "Hotel Record" (2017).
