We do this not because it is easy but because we thought it was easy.

We warmly introduce rotation as our core concept, offering a platform for newcomers and artists who share our commitment to exploration by embracing errors, mistakes in try-outs. soft rotation is a concert series of time-based sound performances encompassing practices, actions, computer music, electronics, acoustic music, and audio-visual.

Jannika Lösche (DE)
Jannika Lösche works mainly in the field of music and soundart as well as performance. She is interested in distortion, effects and feedback. Her electric guitar functions as an important tool of expression, but this time it’s the electric bass that will be in the center of the improvisation.

Chaya Shen (TW)
Born in Taiwan, having a mini-job in Köln. Chaya Shen works with time-based media, its materiality, and the surrounding interrelations. Her work delves into the convergence of geopolitical influences, particularly in relation to women's bodies.
In this performance, she realizes a useful tool for Ausländer, "German for Artist" by the Danish artist Stine Marie Jacobsen. This handbook helps "nicht-so-gut-deutsch" people build connections with the German contemporary cultural scene and entitles the artists through linguistic aid. During the process(living, breathing, or reading), I speak of my identities as becoming fremd, becoming a Fremder.
