Wavering Worlds #24
Kristina Warren & Sara Zlanabitnig
Performance: Tuesday June 2nd, 7 pm
Kristina Warren (US) is a composer, improviser, media artist based in Providence in the northeastern US. In order to highlight the ebbs and flows of individual and collective listening, Warren gives frequent audiovisual performances (ranging from synth voyages and digital soundscapes to concertina meditations and beyond) along with installations, workshops, lectures, and more. Work recently presented at: Flux Festival Montréal [CA], Synth Library Prague [CZ], MuseumsQuartier Wien [AT], Experimentik Berlin [DE], IOIC Zürich [CH], The Bluecoat Liverpool [UK], Light & Sound Design (Brooklyn), Elastic Arts (Chicago), and Rhizome (DC).
At bb15 Kristina will perform selections from recent audiovisual concertina album Tusk (2026, Gold Bolus Recordings). This immersive work demonstrates the fierce range and beguiling beauty of the concertina, a small squeezebox instrument. Traversing fluidly from white-noise bellows sounds to resonance and difference tones, Tusk keens across memory and interior landscape to activate an otherworldly yet instinctive resonance.

Sara Zlanabitnig is an Austrian flutist, improviser and sound artist based in Vienna. Her artistic focus lies on free improvisation and experimental music, combining the acoustic flute with electronics, effects units, and extended playing techniques. In her work, she explores fragile sonic states, overtones, microtonality, and the physical presence of breath and resonance. In addition to her international concert activities, Zlanabitnig is actively involved in cultural policy. She is a co-founder of the Fraufeld* platform for networking female musicians in the field of improvised music, a co-organizer of the collectively curated festival Jahresendzeitschokoladenhohlkörper, and a member of the direction at Vienna’s echoraum. Her work operates at the intersection of improvisation, sound research and collective practice.
