Sometimes, it takes a digital wink to loosen the grip of academic rigor. At Merano’s historic racecourse and at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Lana Mari, her Berlin-based partners, and sound tinkerer Jo Wespel capture precisely this dynamic. They cultivate a relationship that embraces “complicated” as a compliment. Their music thrives on a refusal to settle into fixed forms: driven by a mischievous joy in playing without a safety net.
