BURKHARD BEINS - percussion and objects
*1964, lives in Berlin
Since the late 1980´s international festivals, concerts and tours
with experimental music as a composer/performer throughout Europe and
overseas. He is a member of several ensembles like Perlonex, Activity
Center, Polwechsel, Trio Sowari, Phosphor, and also works with Keith Rowe,

Minton, and many others.
Meanwhile he has released more than 30 CDs and LPs on labels like 2:13
Music, Zarek, Erstwhile, Hat Hut, Potlatch, Absinth or Confront.
„ ...simply one of the most imaginative percussionists around,
indeed making the tag 'percussionist' seem hopelessly deficient."
- All Music Guide -
"Beins transforms percussions fundamentally into resonators aimed
at amplifying the sound produced by a series of different objects. "
- Musiche -
„One of the strengths of Beins' playing is his ear for the strange."
- The Wire –
„Burkhard Beins has proven to be one of those players delivering
consistently intriguing releases."
- Signal To Noise -
