During the first days of October UH Fest returns with international and local live performances across various clubs and venues of Budapest. Apart from more than 40 concerts, lectures, workshops and talks will accompany the main programme. The opening night will be held at Trafó with performances of the legendary Gudrun Gut and her Berlin-based Monika Werkstatt's label mates (Danielle De Picciotto, Barbara Morgenstern and Sonae), while Swedish sound artist Ellen Arkbro will start the night with her just intonation music.
Berlin musician, composer, producer and broadcaster, Gudrun Gut is a seminal figure in the German music scene and founder of the Monika Enterprise label. Through her ever-changing interdisciplinary music-based practice and regular output of recordings and performance activity, she has maintained a high profile in Europe for over thirty years.
Danielle de Picciotto is an American born artist, musician and filmmaker. She was born in Tacoma, Washington, USA, but now lives and works in Berlin, Germany. In 1989 Danielle, along with partner Dr Motte, founded the first Berlin Love Parade. De Picciotto just released her new album Tacoma on Monika’s sister label Moabit.
One of the primary producers on of the label Monika Enterprise, Barbara Morgenstern debuted in 1999 with the Vermona ET 6-1 album. Through 2000's Fjorden and 2003's Nichts Muss, her melodic sense became more pronounced, and with time she also began fielding remix requests for the likes of Dntel, Station 17, Ellen Allien, Malaria!, and Smash TV. Tesri, a collaborative release with To Rococo Rot's Robert Lippok, came out in mid-2005. The Grass Is Always Greener followed in 2006. BM, released two years later, featured a collaboration with Robert Wyatt, while 2010's Fan No. 2 gathered stray tracks while also functioning as something of a career overview. In June 2012 her new album Sweet Silence has been released on Monika Enterprise.
Sonae put out her first release in August 2012 with the two-track EP ‘Cologne’ on Ambient & Electronica label A Strangely Isolated Place. Her remix of ‘Saint’ by Markus Guentner followed in 2013, a compilation release for ‘Entmutigt’, and ‘Song of Hate and Anger’ was included as the last track on Markus Guentner’s exclusive mixtape for Substrata Festival which also featured artists such as Ismael Pinkler, Gustavo Lamas and Rafael Anton Irisarri.
Ellen Arkbro is a composer and sound-artist from Stockholm. By way of tuning, Ellen’s work slides into existence in the form of compositions for early music ensembles and long duration performances of synthesised dream music. Her work has been described as an oscillation between the pop music of the ’90s and the American minimalism of the ’60s. Ellen’s sound work is heavily informed by her studies in Just Intonation with La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela in New York and Marc Sabat in Berlin.
