Mess_Montage, Reso Kiknadze & Jam Session

When Berlin-based modular artist Mess_Montage and Tbilisi-born saxophonist Reso Kiknadze share the stage, decades of Georgian musical heritage merge with the raw electricity of live electronics.

Kiknadze — pioneer of Georgian free improvisation and former rector of the Tbilisi Conservatoire — brings a lifetime of performance mastery and compositional depth. Mess_Montage, renowned for shaping modular synthesis into breathing, evolving sonic landscapes, embodies the experimental urgency of a new generation.

Their collaboration has captivated audiences at acclaimed venues and series such as MONOM in Berlin and TSA: in transmission at Silent Green. Each performance unfolds as a vivid dialogue where saxophone lines spiral through shifting electronic terrains — honoring tradition while carving bold new ground in contemporary improvisation.
