In the organizer's words:

silent green presents

Arnold Kasar
Arnold Kasar is a Berlin-based pianist, composer, producer and mastering engineer. Over the past three decades, his work has moved between ambient, electronic and contemporary classical music, often without drawing clear boundaries between these genres.

He began his career in the Berlin club scene, releasing on the influential Sonar Kollektiv label and performing with nu-jazz and electro chanson acts such as Micatone and Nylon. Through his collaboration with performance artist Friedrich Liechtenstein, surreal, cross-genre pop entered his repertoire. A long-standing partnership with Hans-Joachim Roedelius, including their 2017 Deutsche Grammophon release Einfluss, cemented his reputation as a cross-generational mediator between musical worlds.

His new album Spring Songs unfolds in eight distilled pieces - interconnected yet self-contained - in which Kasar's piano floats in finely drawn electronic contours. The result is a soundscape that feels both grounded and airy, analog and spectral, where memory, texture and stillness are equally present.

Martina Bertoni
Martina Bertoni is a Berlin-based composer and experimental cellist whose work "dissolves the boundaries between emotion and architecture" (A Closer Listen). She creates soundscapes in which control and resonance become fluid elements. Her artistic practice explores the ability of sound to alter perception through electroacoustic composition, generative systems, drone minimalism and destabilized moods, often using timelessness as a compositional framework.

Her research focuses on the intersection between embodied sound practices and post-instrumental identities - a central theme of her latest album Electroacoustic Works for Halldorophone (Karlrecords, 2025).

In addition to her artistic activities, Martina's cello playing and original compositions can be heard in numerous soundtracks for films, series and documentaries. She is currently a lecturer in music at the Catalyst Institute for Creative Arts and Technology in Berlin.
