Annette Krebs and Andrea Neumann, still active?

[sellanraa]

I've largely lurked here for well over a decade (15 years?) and sort of poked around recently going way back and was thinking how wonderful it was when this forum was more active.

Since this forum largely quieted down I really have come to appreciate Andrea Neumann and Annette Krebs' work. Over the last few years it seems like they've gone a bit quiet. I'm not sure if that's just with formal releases or if their live pursuits have also slowed.

I figured some here who are more in the know may have a sense for what they've been up to and if there is anything they're working towards soon.

Awesome, thanks for the info/links. I look forward to checking out this live set. How long has Krebs been exploring less guitar-oriented approaches? Any specific reason she is switching it up?

Krebs has been doing the "Konstruktion" sets since at least 2014 (the first time I saw her perform one).

Both are fairly regular live performers, at least here in Berlin. They may not put out a lot of CDs, but who does these days? If anything, free improv and classical might be the two niche genres where CDs are still important (rock, pop, and even jazz seem to have fully embraced the overpriced vinyl grift, to the extent that physical media matters).

According to Krebs' website (http://www.annettekrebs.eu), she recorded a CD this past summer, so there's that to look forward to. Also, if you're in Australia or New Zealand, she's touring there in January.
