TENGGER
TENGGER is a family of traveling musicians. The pair, Itta from South Korea and Marqido from Japan, create psychedelic New-Age drone magic using vocals, Indian harmonium, toy instruments, synthesizers and electronics. The duo started out as “10”, but since the birth of their son RAAI in 2012 (who accompanies them on tour and contributes vocals, synths, and also dances on stage), they have rechristened themselves TENGGER; which means “unlimited expanse of sky” in Mongolian, to mark the expansion of the family.
The family’s annual pilgrimages influence every aspect of their art.
FOREVER OVERHEAD
Forever Overhead is the meeting of head and sky, the in-between space where boundaries blur and anything seems possible. Seeking to recapture the utopian imagination of childhood wastelands, the brother-sister duo explore the infinite variations of songwriting and improvisation, weaving a pop-folk-noise landscape rich in contrasts and ambitious harmonies. With two voices, and playing every instrument they come across, their music is made up of suspended moments where sweetness rubs shoulders with the strange, and nothing is ever quite ordinary.

“A Month of Single Frames” by Lynne Sachs
14mn
In 1998, filmmaker Barbara Hammer took up an artist residency in a shack with no running water or electricity. There, she shot films, recorded sounds and kept a diary. For decades, these documents remained in her personal archive, until, as she neared the end of her life in 2018, she entrusted her friend, renowned American filmmaker Lynne Sachs, with the task of making a film from them. Through her own film, Lynne explores Barbara’s experience of solitude. She places the text on screen as a confrontation with a somatic cinema that brings us all together in multiple spaces and times.
