silent green pres. Mutant Radio Sessions

Magda Mayas + Uygur Vural + Vinyl-terror & -horror

Mutant Radio is a community platform for music and culture, streaming everything from mixes and live performances to interviews, talks, and educational shows. It’s a space where artists, DJs, and cultural voices come together to share sounds, ideas, and stories. Home to more than 90 residents and 50 weekly guests, Mutant Radio thrives on collaborations with festivals, labels, record stores, and cultural spaces worldwide.
 
What makes it unique is a fully equipped studio caravan housed at a former electro station in Tbilisi - a bar, cultural venue, and broadcast hub that also hosts events, exhibitions, and workshops.

Since April 2025, Mutant Radio has expanded to Berlin with a compact studio, opening fresh connections for local and international communities.

Magda Mayas
Magda Mayas (b. 1979) is a Berlin-based pianist and composer whose 25-year practice has redefined the sonic possibilities of the piano. Working with preparations, amplification, and objects as extensions of the instrument, she has built a distinctive vocabulary rooted in inside and extended piano techniques. 

Mayas performs internationally in collaborations with John Butcher, George Lewis, Fred Frith, Joëlle Léandre, and many others. Current projects include the duo Spill with Tony Buck and the ensemble Filamental. She has released over 40 recordings, co-founded smallest functional unit, which publishes experimental music scores, and Khomasi, a curatorial collective producing art and politics programming in Berlin.

Uygur Vural
Uygur Vural is a Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist, cellist, sound artist, and environmental activist born in Antalya (Turkey). Vural’s artistic practice lies at the intersection of experimental music, improvisation, movement, and sound art. His work explores extended cello techniques and non-classical approaches to the instrument, integrating influences from free improvisation, European contemporary music, free jazz, and Ottoman, Indian, and Arabic musical traditions. Through these elements, his music often reflects the rich cultural heritage of Anatolia.

Alongside his musical practice, Vural works extensively as a sound artist with a focus on environmental awareness and acoustic ecology. Currently, he focuses on underwater acoustic ecology, developing projects that use underwater recordings for storytelling, sound installations, and live performances. His ongoing project Underwater Soundscape investigates the sonic identities of cities connected to water through seas, rivers, and lakes.

In his performance as part of the Mutant Radio Sessions, he performs field recordings and sound collage interact with acoustic and electric cello to create a layered sonic environment. Moving between improvisation, movement, and composed structures, the work explores the fluid boundaries between sound, gesture, and narrative.
