Skultura + Parquet

NICK DUNSTON’S SKULTURA feat. CASSIE KINOSHI

Nick Dunston - compositions, bass, banjo, electronics
Cansu Tanrikulu - voice, vocal processor
Liz Kosack - synthesizer
Eldar Tsalikov - clarinet
Mariá Portugal - drums
Cassie Kinoshi - saxophone

The amorphous sounds of electroacoustic composer, improviser, and sound artist Nick Dunston twist and turn as he toys with genre conventions through his quintet project Skultura. From minimal animalistic utterances to unfurling free-jazz solos, Dunston and his group's music bursts with playful intent: one section might focus around an instrument joyfully wailing, while elsewhere, scrambling textures of interlocking melodies and rhythms expand, fill and break — as heard on their 2023 self-titled release. Skultura's unpredictable music provides a bodily experience to listeners, leading them ear-first into a near-chaotic sound world of mercurial movement. As they develop new music for their next recording project, now especially, Skultura is firing on all cylinders.

Special guest: Berlin resident Cassie Kinoshi on saxophone.

The French ensemble Parquet blends rock with electronic, noisy, and techno-inspired elements to create a distinctive sound. Driving drums, haunting electronics, and raw guitars shape the atmosphere, while powerful basslines and hypnotic rhythms propel the music forward. Between club-ready beats, dense sonic textures, and experimental guitar arrangements, an energetic mix emerges that feels both trance-like and powerful. With minimal gestures and maximum impact, Parquet creates an intense live experience that breaks down the boundaries between rock, electro, and avant-garde.
