HAUMAKAN – Chatschatur Kanajan and Udo Mader
Formed a few months ago in Berlin, this duo explores the interface between improvisation and composition, between spontaneity and agreement, with the contrasting colours of violin (Chachatur Kanajan) and drums (Udo Mader) and their infinite ability to merge.

Chatschatur Kanajan (born 1971) studied violin in Moscow, Dresden and Berlin, among others with Marina Jashvili and Ilan Gronich. This was followed by studying conducting and composition with Friedrich Goldmann at the Berlin University of the Arts.

Kanajan was a scholarship holder at the Schloss Solitude Academy in Stuttgart and the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. He played in Cairo’s quartet from 1997 to 2007. Kanajan has been a member of the ensemble mosaik since 1998 and conductor of the European Music Project since 2006. He has performed with ensembles such as the Ensemble Intercontemporain and musikFabrik, and has been a guest at international festivals such as the Salzburg Festival, the Festival d’Atomne Paris and the Venice Biennale.

OKNO is an intermedia serial project by violinist and composer Chatschatur Kanajan. The focus is on the interaction between the various sounds (piano, violin, 7-string electric violin, synthesizers, percussion, field recordings) and the mostly black and grey graphics (Chinese ink, chalk, pigments) on paper. Kanajan developed a set of rules for drawing so that it could emerge as an unconscious process in connection with the music. Drawing thus becomes a musical instrument and follows the simplest compositional techniques such as imitation, counterpoint, unison, hoquetus, etc. It is both a graphic score and a seismograph of sounds.
