Les Marquises unleash electroacoustic sound storms in Gelsenkirchen
On Sunday, October 25, 2026, the duo Les Marquises transforms the werkstatt in Gelsenkirchen into a laboratory for improvised music. Emilie Škrijelj and Tom Malmendier combine accordion, drums, turntables, and electronics into a concert experience full of tempo, surprises, and finely balanced sound movements.
Accordion meets turntable and drums
Since 2019, Emilie Škrijelj and Tom Malmendier have been developing a distinctive form of electroacoustic improvisation. Škrijelj explores the accordion down to its smallest tonal folds and uses it simultaneously as a percussive instrument. Malmendier delivers precise impulses on the drums, shifts rhythms, and responds with keen awareness to every new sound idea.
Fast interplay with sharp timing
Les Marquises play quickly, playfully, and inventively. Between electronic textures, altered record sounds, and impulsive percussion, nuanced electroacoustic storms arise. The stage performance thrives on synchronization, spontaneous changes, and a pronounced sense of musical humor.
Soundtrips NRW: Improvised music in motion
The concert is part of the Soundtrips NRW series, which has been showcasing different facets of improvised music in North Rhine-Westphalia for many years. The focus is on immediate encounters, open forms, and a sound that assumes its final shape only at the moment of play. The live atmosphere in the werkstatt promises focused listening and intense closeness to the audience.
An evening for curious ears
Those who appreciate electronic sound art, avant-garde jazz, and free improvisation will experience a stage performance with Les Marquises that transcends conventional song structures. Accordion, turntable, and drums merge into a dynamic sound body that oscillates between eruptive energy and delicate texture.
Conclusion: Les Marquises bring an extraordinary concert experience to Gelsenkirchen on October 25, 2026. The werkstatt will become a resonance space for surprising rhythms, electroacoustic timbres, and radically lively improvisation. Mark the date now and experience Soundtrips NRW live.
