megalodon/na plus

megalodon/na is a project that’s been developing over the past year with Austrian vocal artist Magdalena Hahnkamper (Pfefferminz Anymalia). It’s hard to classify exactly, but it’s an avant-garde combination of elements of jazz, Viennese lieder, free improvisation, spoken-word, poetry, German cabaret, theater, performance art, and multimedia. In February we won the Lyrik Live audience competition from the Austrian Ö1 radio with our piece, a video called “friedrich/das erdrückende“.

As part of the prize, we just performed in the Klangtheater, part of the Radiokulturhaus of the ORF radio station in Vienna on 5 November. From our 5 minute video we created over an hour-long performance that was recorded and will be presented on the radio next month. We also performed at a contemporary art gallery, mo.ë, on the 7th. The focal point is Magdalena’s dark texts, her stylistic humor exploring new boundaries with the music. Well-known Hermann Leopold songs transform into odes about schnitzel; jazz standards are redesigned into a Dadaist proto-Viennese style; Kubinist childhood traumas dress in electronic and poetic attire; feminist spoken-word tradition projects through video; Mozart is sung as Jack Nicholson; the Viennese sewers are made into a psychotherapy practice, etc. From laughter to the deadly serious, extremely childish to adult content, it takes inspiration from Alfred Kubin, Edgar Allan Poe and Laurie Anderson. The texts are in German and English, with dashes of Dutch and French, and delivered in expressive theatrics.
