Arnold Kasar + Martina Bertoni

silent green presents

Arnold Kasar
Arnold Kasar is a Berlin-based pianist, composer, producer, and mastering engineer. Over the past three decades, his work has moved fluidly between ambient, electronic, and contemporary classical spaces–often erasing the distinctions between them. 

He began his career in Berlin’s post-club landscape, releasing through the influential Sonar Kollektiv label and performing with nu-jazz and electro-chanson acts such as Micatone and Nylon. His collaborations with performance artist Friedrich Liechtenstein introduced surreal, genre-fluid pop into his orbit. A long-running partnership with Hans-Joachim Roedelius, including their 2017 Deutsche Grammophon release Einfluss, cemented his standing as a cross-generational connector of musical worlds. 

His new album Spring Songs unfolds across eight distilled pieces–interconnected yet self-contained–where Kasar’s acoustic piano drifts within finely drawn electronic contours. The result is a sound world that feels both grounded and aerial, analogue and spectral–where memory, structure, and silence hold equal presence.

Martina Bertoni
Martina Bertoni is a Berlin-based composer and experimental cellist whose work “dissolves the boundaries between emotion and architecture” (A Closer Listen), crafting soundscapes where control and resonance become fluid entities. Her practice interrogates sound’s capacity to reshape perception through electroacoustic composition, generative systems, drone minimalism, and destabilised tunings, often employing timelessness as a compositional framework. 

Her research lies at the intersection of embodied sound practices and post-instrumental identities, an exploration central to her most recent album Electroacoustic Works for Halldorophone (Karlrecords, 2025).

Beyond her artistic practice, Martina’s cello and original works have been featured in numerous soundtracks for films, series, and documentaries. She is currently a Lecturer at the Department of Music at Catalyst Institute for Creative Arts and Technology in Berlin.
