As part of the first Long Evening and the public programme for the exhibition DAS GLÜCK IST NICHT IMMER LUSTIG by Rirkrit Tiravanija, Ayzon performs on Tiravanija’s demo station in the Gropius Bau’s atrium.
The demo station by Rirkrit Tiravanija is a stage-like sculpture that invites people to “demonstrate” something. Tiravanija plays with the different meanings of the term “demonstration” as both a political protest and a presentation of someone’s talent or hobby. For the duration of the exhibition, the demo station provides a space for daily public performances.
Producer and artist Ayzon combines his own productions with songs that inspire him throughout his sets. Growing up in a vibrant musical household, his father, an Angolan DJ, introduced him to Kizomba, Jazz, Reggae, and Zouk, while his older brother opened a new world by sharing his love for R&B and Hip-Hop. Ayzon’s sound reflects this upbringing, blending warm, floating chords with smooth, groovy basslines and infectious drum patterns, creating a style that feels both familiar and refreshingly distinct. Earlier this year, he released his latest project, Part Of The Story, featuring a diverse selection of international and Berlin-based vocal artists, which has gained support from notable platforms such as COLORS, NTS and BBC Radio.
