Sound and performance artist working in the coinciding fields of music, film and contemporary dance. Konstantin Bessonov's work bears a close tie to classic minimalism, whilst building on contemporary compositions and postdigital productions alike. In his live-performance he explores the enigmatic shift between modes of silence and it's emphatic meltdown.
Since 2019 he is co-running the Hamburg/Berlin based music label STOFFE, a platform for sound, art and experiments. As a co-founding member of 4fakultät he runs a concert series focusing on cross genre improvisation. His new album EUROPE, produced and recorded under his ‚uon duh‘ moniker, was realeased in 2019 on the Ukraine based Muscut label, and his solo debut SUN SETS LOW ON SMEAR HILL was released on BBJTC in October 2021. Since March 2020 he is a resident host at the Moscow based online station radio.syg.ma. With his collaborational and solo works he builds on a varied range of theatrical scores, including soundscaping works for choreographers like Carolin Jüngst, Lissa Rykena, Jessica Nupen and Jason Jacobs, and dance companies like MuddyBoots. He has worked and performed at several international festivals, theatres and production venues including Kampnagel Internationale Kulturfabrik Hamburg, Garbicz Festival Poland, MS Dockville Festival Hamburg, Künstlerhaus Mousonturm Frankfurt, LAB Frankfurt and Kunsthaus Hamburg.
