Kai Fagaschinski
clarinetist | composer/performer | nightwatch * 6.10.1974 in dannenberg/elbe (d)
the berlin-based clarinetist and composer/performer focuses on a subtle musicality of sound and noise phenomena. as an autodidact he has developed dubious manners on his instrument. as a natural-born abstract he includes an insidious expressivity and a pre-melodic quality to his music. he operates in both systems: composition and improvisation. his preference are long-term collaborations at eye level - no leaders, no sidemen, no assholes. his bands are the international nothing - clarinet duo with michael thieke, the dogmatics - acoustic piano/clarinet duo with chris abrahams, the magic i.d. - song project with margareth kammerer, christof kurzmann & michael thieke, the elks - electro-acoustic chaos troop with liz allbee, billy roisz & marta zapparoli, schall und rausch mit johan arrias, axel dörner & tisha mukarji, los glissandinos with klaus filip (sine waves), musik - duo with burkhard stangl, the brothers grim - experimental song project with seamus cater, splitter orchester - berlin's 24-piece echtzeitmusik orchestra, here comes the sun with gunter schneider & barbara romen, kommando raumschiff zitrone with christof kurzmann, rebecca with michael renkel, and (exceptionally) solo. kai has been the commander of raumschiff zitrone from 2000 to 2006, joined by christof kurzmann in 2002. recently both commanders have been retired and closed the legendary raumschiff zitrone which has presented concerts of countless international artists. in 2001 he co-initiated together with gregor hotz and conrad noack berlin‘s experimental music platform www.echtzeitmusik.de. kai was artist-in-residense at quartier21 (part of museumsquartierwien, vienna) in 2004. as a result of fruitful collaborations and good friendships vienna feels like a second home for him.
