Unfortunately, Alvin Curran's performance of Canti Illuminati at Amare's Conservatoriumzaal (17:15–18:00) has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. In its place, Ego Death (Aho Ssan & Resina) will perform.

One other note: although stated in the printed timetable with a start time of 17:05, caroline's performance at Concordia will begin at 18:05.

Aho Ssan is the moniker of electronic musician and artist Niamké Désiré; while Resina is the alias of composer and cellist Karolina Rec. Together, they present the Ego Death project at Rewire 2025. Désiré and Rec met while contributing to Nicolás Jaar's durational and improvisational project Weavings (2022). From this initial encounter, they discovered a deep creative resonance – one that reverberates through their vast, immersive soundscapes. Their music brims with dark, cinematic intensity, stretching the tonality of the cello to its breaking point and exploring the textures left in its wake. Crackling noise, field recordings, and expansive synthesis shape their compositions, bringing a dynamic and ever-shifting sonic terrain. Across the eight chapters of Ego Death, a wordless narrative unfolds – one of dissolution and reassembly, revealing music’s profound capacity as a language of emotion, subjectivity, and spirituality. The debut album of Ego Death will be released on Subtext in Spring 2025.
