Splitter Orchester, founded in 2010, brings together 18 of Berlin’s most cutting-edge composer- performer-improvisers to question the musical establishment. Their sound blends a broad array of extended techniques on traditional, electronic, and self-built instruments, focusing on sonic materiality and space. The methods of the orchestra reflect the members’ inclusive but critical approach toward the many facets of composition and improvisation. Splitter Orchester has collaborated with composers such as Mathias Spahlinger, Øyvind Torvund, George Lewis, Alwynne Pritchard, Jean-Luc Guionnet, and Mazen Kerbaj. International concert appearances include MaerzMusik, the International Summer Course for New Music in Darmstadt, the CRAK festival in Paris, Borealis, the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, the météo Festival, as well as their own biennial Splitter festival in Berlin.
