Munka Klangkollektiv

Anne Munka works as a singer, composer and teacher. She studied Jazz vocals/guitar and eurythmics. In her artistic work she focuses on the ambivalent relationship between language and music. She composed sound pieces for the German „D-Radio Kultur“, toured internationally with different projects and performed in various music theater productions. 2015 she was awarded with the „Jakob Grimm Initiativpreis“ for German language. Since 2014 she organises the project “Lyrik ist Happening” where Free Jazz musicians meet with contemporary poets to combine their artistry for a musical Happening including room and audience in the possibilities of composition. Through this ongoing project, she started working closely with her two collective members.

Demian Kappenstein studied jazz drums, improvisation and contemporary music. In his solo concerts he works on the visual reception of acoustic phenomenons and incorporates experiences from travelling.

Jan F. Kurth studied jazz voice and film music. As a singer/composer and electro acoustic musician he often works in interdisciplinary contexts; instruvocal singing and the connection of music with language, images and movement play an important role in his work.

The Munka Klangkollektiv gives workshops and cooperates with artists like „G13Lyrikkollektiv“ from Berlin, DJ Illvibe and poet Maud Vanhauwaert.
