LA Connection meets Katrin Seglitz - Jazz and Literature

Description

Featuring: Erich Tiefenthaler & Michael T. Otto (musicians), Katrin Seglitz (author) The literary-musical series LA CONNECTION from Langenargen is once again guesting at the Friedrichshafen Kiesel. The well-known musician Michael T. Otto from the Lake Constance region brings together an author and two musicians who will explore the interfaces of music and words on stage. Erich Tiefenthaler (various woodwind instruments, live electronics) and Michael T. Otto (various brass instruments, live electronics) have a musical collaboration spanning over ten years in the renowned Composer Big Band BODAN ART ORCHESTRA, for which both musicians also work as composers. As adventurous multi-instrumentalists, Tiefenthaler and Otto impress with great virtuosity and pronounced joy of playing. In addition to classical instruments, they also use extraordinary ones such as sub-bass flute, shakuhachi, snail horn, or serpent. Enhanced and expanded by live electronics, the concert-reading unfolds into an atmospheric and spherical sound experience.
Author Katrin Seglitz will read from her new novel "Mein Leben mit ihr". The Munich-born author, who has lived in Ravensburg for many years after stints in Paris and Tübingen, is one of the distinctive literary voices of Upper Swabia. In her works, she combines biographical experience with literary reflection, with a fine sense for inner movements, breaks, transitions, and the subtle shifts of a life. In "Mein Leben mit ihr," she follows a narrator who questions her life anew after an accident. Through flashbacks, she explores her formative experiences—between departure and doubt, constriction and expansiveness, self-discovery and encounters with the world. It is a quiet yet compelling novel about the struggle for a life of one's own—and about the longing to hold onto it without writing it down. In cooperation with the Bodenseekreis Cultural Office.
