Zeilen is a form of graphic and sound meditation, through their repetition, the lines form other shapes, sometimes resembling lines of writing, where poetry resonates.

The absence of a conventional musical narrative structure is intended to leave the sound bare, open to external sounds and to the unexpected, but also to encourage a different way of listening.

The use of drawing as a form of writing allows one to approach sound in terms of its morphology, in a different way of listening with -among other- reference to the electroacoustic works of Pierre Schaeffer.

Vincent Laju initiated this project in 2021 during a graphic and sound research residency.

Zeilen has been performed mainly as a duo with Elo Masing (violin), alongside guest musicians from Berlin: Samin Son (vocals), Julia Brüssel (violin), Wojtek Bajda (clarinet), Megan Jowett (viola), Simon Rose (baritone saxophone), in Berlin and on tour in France.
