abican https://abican.ch/about about Abican - this is Can Etterlin - sound- and visual artist, multi-instrumentalist, composer and improviser, partly based in Zug (CH) and Tallinn (EST). Abican cleverly dances along stylistic habits and artistic boundaries, merges supposedly conflictive things into something of his own and, in doing so, creates something experimentally new. Whether on the piano or on the synth, on the drums or on the PC, in improvisation or composition, in installations or in performances – Abican only knows one way: forward. Drifting, forward, always forward, in the mind and in the body. Through his distinct playing, his flair for rhythm and mediation of emotions, he moves - sometimes smoothly, sometimes with tension - in the interplay between acoustic and electronic music. His activities span a wide variety of projects between punk, pop and free improvisation. Abican - das ist Can Etterlin - Klang- und Audiovisueller Künstler, Multiinstrumentalist, Komponist und Improvisator aus Zug (CH) und Tallinn (EST). Abican tänzelt geschickt entlang der stilistischen Gewohnheiten und künstlerischen Grenzen, vereint vermeintlich Gegensätzliches zu etwas Eigenem und kreiert dabei experimentell Neues. Sei es am Klavier oder am Synth, an den Drums oder am PC, in Improvisation oder Komposition, in Installationen oder bei Performances - Abican kennt nur eine Richtung: Vorwärts. Treibend, vorwärts, immer vorwärts, im Kopf und im Körper. Durch sein klares Spiel, sein Flair für Rhythmus und das Vermitteln von Emotionen, bewegt er sich - mal geschmeidig, mal reibend - im Spannungsfeld akustischer und elektronischer Musik. Seine Tätigkeiten erstrecken sich über die unterschiedlichsten Projekte zwischen Punk, Pop und freier Improvisation. https://abican.ch/works-copy Mon, 10 Oct 2022 20:29:34 +0000 abican https://abican.ch/works-copy works https://abican.ch/Das-Wasser-ist-niemals-einsam Fri, 07 Oct 2022 14:20:19 +0000 abican https://abican.ch/Das-Wasser-ist-niemals-einsam das wasser ist niemals einsam “Das Wasser ist niemals einsam” 823 glaciers1689 km²481 m³/s= Inn Water freezes. Water thaws. Water stands still. Water flows. Water destroys. Water gives life - but above all: It leaves traces. Visible, tangible and audible. Abican tries to accompany, document and reconstruct water on its way to civilization. The result is an immersive, audiovisual journey, through a two-month reflection and examination of sound, perspective, structure and texture of the Lower Engadine (CH). The piece was composed only with collected video and field recordings from my residency at Fundaziun Nairs was originally composed and performed for 8 speakers and 3 screens in a blackbox at the Dark Days Festival HSLU (CH), in December 2021. <img width="1500" height="1001" width_o="1500" height_o="1001" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/70f3769e58c70afbda74ab68643a708703318c52d27dec30484860da56179bb3/0408.jpg" data-mid="155346545" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/70f3769e58c70afbda74ab68643a708703318c52d27dec30484860da56179bb3/0408.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1001" width_o="1500" height_o="1001" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b62ef98a025bfaa72dcc6ca6470580a0d4f6baa2c6a5f8571e4311c7f70ccc4c/0741.jpg" data-mid="155346546" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b62ef98a025bfaa72dcc6ca6470580a0d4f6baa2c6a5f8571e4311c7f70ccc4c/0741.jpg" /> For the group exhibition at Kunstpause Zug (CH) in June 2022, we adapted the piece together with their team as an installation for Virtual Reality. To give another perspective on the thematic, I also performed live with the collected field recordings from the residency, together with live processed audio from collected wood. <img width="1500"

microcosmos of the gravel plant with his processed live audio, they encounter the 5 dancers that perform to the previously composed EP “Piz Lad” by Abican. music: Can Etterlin concept: Can Etterlin, Michèle Felladancers: Michèle Fella, Selina Brenner, Célina Von Moos, Natalia Podany, Laura Heinzercoaching: Sarah Keusch “Thousands of pebbles are piled up into pyramids at Kigro AG Grosswangen. The backdrop could probably not be more industrial, in which the EP Piz Lad is performed, which combines with dance to create a total work of art. Through the collective Abican dances, the static gravel plant is transformed into an animated and special world in which man and environment merge in an unusual and almost extraterrestrial way. It is an experience that makes you feel how slowly time passes when, in addition to the music, pebbles rattle among the dancers.” – Frachtwerk, 2021 https://www.frachtwerk.ch/2021/09/11/abican-tanzt-und-die-ep-piz-lad/ https://abican.ch/Alpincan-Lai-Radount Mon, 10 Oct 2022 19:42:57 +0000 abican https://abican.ch/Alpincan-Lai-Radount Alpincan: Lai Radount&nbsp; “Lai radount” is one performance out of a series of mountainlake concerts high up in the swiss alps, with processed field recordings from the area during my residency at funadziun nairs.

What you hear is a recorded live concert of me playing in and with the staircase and with the staircase’s special reverb-towers (no artificial reverb added). In preparation for the concert, I have spent a week in the building, absorbing the life of the school, the people walking around, their moods, the sound of the staircase, and then composed a loosely structured piece open to improvisation. The concert a conversation with the building itself, an immersive sound experience, which is hard to preserve in a recording. That’s why I decided to add a visual component to it, to present a further point of view. So, what you see is partly the documentation from the concert, and partly additional filmed structures and textures of the staircase, contrasting and supporting the music, adding another layer and dimension music and concept: Can Etterlin cameras: Eirik Sanner, Emilio Guim, Can Etterlin cut: Can Etterlin &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
