TON­TON

In einem offenen Raum begegnen sich elektronische Klänge, zeitgenössische Klangkunst, visuelle Experimente und performative Ausdrucksformen. Wir schaffen einen Ort des Austauschs, der Neugier und des künstlerischen Dialogs.
Mit unserer Veranstaltungsreihe „TONTON“ geben wir Raum für musikalische Experimente, kreative Prozesse und das Erforschen neuer Ausdrucksformen. Performances entstehen live und spontan – jede Darbietung ist ein Unikat.

Zwei Duos und eine grenzenlose Improvisation: Am 23. Januar 2026 trifft Déandrah auf Julia Toggenburger und Annie Aries auf Tamara Janes – ergänzt wird der Abend durch Simon Lanz mit seiner selbstgebauten Orgel.

Déandrah is an intermedia artist whose work inhabits the space between definition and destruction. Rooted in aesthetics of collapse, their performances disengage the structures that hold identity in place, allowing the subconscious to leak into the present through sound, movement, light, and distortion. Where dissociation becomes method, each appearance is a threshold crossed in real time—inviting the audience into a liminal state inviting the audience into a liminal state where beauty blurs into abrasion, and boundaries grate beyond recognition. Nothing repeats. There are no signatures, only symptoms. Déandrah resists coherence not to confuse, but to carve out space for something rawer: a presence that flickers, fractures, and insists on its own instability. There is no origin story. No fixed meaning. Just a name, a symbol, and a breath—at a time and place, forever now and here.

Julia Toggenburger ist aufgewachsen in Winterthur, studierte literarisches Schreiben in Biel/Bienne und ist als Musikerin, DJ, Radiomacherin, Organisatorin und als freischaffende Autorin unterwegs im Schweizer Kulturwald. Sie schreibt Lyrik, experimentelle Prosa und Texte für die Bühne.

Annie Rüfenacht aka Annie Aries (she/her) is a Swiss-Philippine composer and sound artist whose practice explores the intersection of generative processes, modular synthesis, and live improvisation. With a modular synthesizer as her primary instrument, Annie creates textural soundscapes that shift between minimal clarity and dense complexity, inviting audiences into immersive listening environments.

At the center of Annie’s work is an inquiry into the entanglements of sonic processes and technological systems. Generative structures, algorithms, and improvisation form a sonic language that foregrounds process and emergence. Annie’s performances highlight the fragile yet dynamic interplay between control and chance, exploring both the intimacy and friction of human–machine interaction. Annie’s artistic practice engages with electronic and electroacoustic music, feminist perspectives, and the intersections of technology and performance.

Annie’s music has been presented internationally at festivals and institutions including MATA Festival (New York), New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival, International Computer Music Conference (Shenzhe
