The Rest Is Music #35 w/ Böseblick

Böseblick, evil eye, mal de ojo. The Rest is Music's first live session with Ensemble Böseblick.

Founded in 2021, Böseblick (“Evil Eye”) is an ensemble of four Berlin-based musicians with very different backgrounds in terms of origins and musical influences, and the electronic instrumentation they play.

Rituals, superstition, good and evil ghosts, visions and apparitions – how do these express themselves in electronic sound?

Blurring the line between composed and improvised playing, the Böseblick Ensemble’s music combines elements of melody and noise with fluidity and grace, articulating a reflection on contemporary issues of cultural appropriation, homeland and togetherness, and creating soundscapes beyond established traditions.
