Boris Hauf & Litó Walkey w. special guest: Johannes Malfatti
CLARK here dust and hair brings together two long-term projects: Boris Hauf’s CLARK and Litó Walkey’s Come here dust and hair.
CLARK is a unity of three interactive levels: metaphysical, transient and phenomenological. It started in 2005 as a solo CD project commissioned for London label Sijis and was re-released on vinyl in 2016 on Shameless Records. CLARK2 came out on double LP in 2020 also on Shameless and was also featured in the short film called “Island Destinity” (by Hetzer/Kaufmann/Hauf) in 2021. CLARK3, released 2024, is digital only.
Thematically CLARK fantasizes about extraterrestrial pasts, examines our earthly present (‘digital natives’, climate-collapse, a world of automation in which we voluntarily give up control to avoid work) and imagines a futuristic interstellar co-existence.

CLARK here dust and hair brings together two long-term projects: Boris Hauf’s CLARK and Litó Walkey’s Come here dust and hair.
CLARK is a unity of three interactive levels: metaphysical, transient and phenomenological. It started in 2005 as a solo CD project commissioned for London label Sijis and was re-released on vinyl in 2016 on Shameless Records. CLARK2 came out on double LP in 2020 also on Shameless and was also featured in the short film called “Island Destinity” (by Hetzer/Kaufmann/Hauf) in 2021. CLARK3, released 2024, is digital only.
Thematically CLARK fantasizes about extraterrestrial pasts, examines our earthly present (‘digital natives’, climate-collapse, a world of automation in which we voluntarily give up control to avoid work) and imagines a futuristic interstellar co-existence. The synth-based beat-oriented science fiction space adventure juxtaposes disassembled post-industrial minimal technoid music with modernist contemporary experimentation. It plays with processual repetition, the imagined and calculated potential of iteration, disintegration, delay and modulation.
Come here dust and hair is a series of performative practices that have appeared as an intimate way to bring audience into a space; a shared exercise in choreography, performance and artistic research contexts; a spoken language audio track; a risograph-printed reading companion exhibited online and in a gallery; an exhibition-like situation of lingering longer with traces of processes; a performance with accomplices; and a solo. In all its forms, it is dedicated to conditions for collaboration, translation and proliferation.
The material that will be performed for CLARK here dust and hair attends to notions of ‘wrong writing’ (written elaborations of supposedly unworthy things). The imaginative space between pieces of language and intersections of details opens a distinct process of collective observation, qualified by more than a single identifiable subject.
The concert performance of CLARK here dust and hair at KoncertKirken will feature Boris Hauf, Litó Walkey and as special guest Johannes Malfatti.
Over the past two years Boris and Johannes have been meeting regularly for sonic explorations in Johannes’ Westberlin studio, with results ranging from ambient noise to vaporwave-esque and hauntological soundscapes. Litó Walkey and Boris Hauf have worked together since 2001 in a wide range of collaborative performances, and presented their own works internationally: Wings raised to the second power (2004), The Missing Dance No. 7 (2005), instanded i turn (2006), Like that, like this (2008), Come here dust and hair (2018). This will be the first time the three share the stage.
Boris Hauf is a musician and composer currently touring his synth-based sci-fi space adventure solo project CLARK, the concert/performance CLARK here dust and hair with Litó Walkey, and as keyboarder with the legendary Austrian indie rock band Naked Lunch. He runs the politically and ecologically committed independent record label Shameless and lives in Berlin.
Litó Walkey is a Berlin-based artist whose work operates collaboratively through writing and choreography. Her performance and publishing projects engage collective structures that energize affective circulations of sense (and self) drifting. She teaches and advises choreographic writing internationally and is currently a PhD candidate in Performance Practices at Gothenburg University.
Johannes Malfatti is a composer based in Berlin. He focuses on contemporary and experimental techniques, often combining acoustical and electronic elements to create rich and slowly moving sonic environments. His diverse work for film, television, theatre and music projects ranges in style from electronic music to orchestral composition.

Yegor Zabelov is a very unique Belarusian accordion player.
Zabelov devotes his work to exploring the possibilities of the accordion in which he specializes, often reaching its limits. In his hands, the accordion becomes a tool for creating mystical experiences, and performances take the form of a musical ritual.
His music is an experimental mix of accordion ambient, avant-garde jazz and neo-classical.
Over the past few years, Zabelov has focused on his solo career. The musician is a frequent guest of European festivals.
Some of the highlights are Elevate Festival (AT), Les Nuits Botanique (BE), ESNS (NL), Europavox (FR), Fusion Festival (DE), Rudolstadt festival (DE), Moers festival (DE), Badentreffen festival (DE), Pop-Kultur (DE), Haldern Pop (DE), Malmö Sommarscen (SE), Vienna Accordion festival (AT), MENT (SI), Tallinn Music Week (EST) etc..
„This accordionist who’ll likely hold a room in complete awe, like Colin Stetson can do when he’s in full swing, conjures saturated, haunting, intense soundscapes on his instrument. The live recordings we’ve heard thus far tear up all pre-conceptions of what an accordion-led band would sound like.” - Gigwise
"Zabelov finds a mindmap between traditional accordion playing and post-rave, beatless soundscapes. His music is a testament to the power of the imagination. No-one would imagine that making Aphex Twin-like ambient noises on an accordion was possible." - Louder Than War
