PROJECTS
IPSO
The collective IPSO was founded in 2020 by Rebecca Minten to explore transdisciplinary ways of creating based on exchange, solidarity and equal collaboration. With no hierarchy between disciplines, members are encouraged to step out of their comfort zones, redefine their roles, and invent together. The focus lies as much on collective research as on creating shared works and developing methods that can be transmitted and shared with others.Actors, musicians, dancers, circus artists, computer scientists, and sound creators come together to imagine unique experiences. Each project is built collectively: everyone brings their own tools and sensitivities, while ideas emerge through exchange, improvisation, and unexpected detours. The aim is a surprising creation that is playful, thought-provoking, and accessible—even for audiences less familiar with live art.
IPSO’s creations combine individual skills in new formats and immersive experiences open to all ages. Everyday themes, social phenomena, and political issues are explored with lightness and humor, while still carrying a critical and sincere message.

GONZALEZ & MINTEN
This duo starts from the desire to create a common language beyond any aesthetic line or tradition, as well as from the conviction that musical understanding goes beyond these categories. In this project Luz González (live electronics) and Rebecca Minten (bass clarinet) provoke and support each other in equal parts by the use of multiphonics, live processing, sinus tones and pure noise.Minten&Gonzalez were and are guests at. Primi Copenhagen, Sonorities Festival Belfast 2024, Vekks Vienna, echoraum (AT), Neue Musik St. Ruprecht (AT), noiseberg Berlin, la Voirie Biel etc.
In 2025 they recorded their debut album at Morphine Raum Berlin, to be released in 2026 with PreferMusic.
SOLO
I present different kinds of solo performances, each closely linked to my ongoing research. For a long time, solo sets weren’t part of my practice — for many reasons. But recently, I’ve found a special love for them, seeing these moments as mirrors: spaces for shared introspection.If you’d like me to perform solo, I can
... gladly improvise for 30-40’ on the bass clarinet with some homemade electronics. Listen here
... create a beatings-and-noise–driven program for various clarinets, featuring works by Alvin Lucier, Peter Ablinger, Manfred Maierhof, Sarah Hennies, Rebecca Saunders, and others.
... present a contrabass clarinet–only concert (venues with good reverb are very welcome), including classics such as Gérard Grisey’s Anubis-Nout alongside discoveries by Bernhard Gander or Milica Djordjević.
TZUPATI ORCHESTRA
The Tzupati Orchestra made its explosive debut in Bern in October 2018 and has since taken countless stages across Switzerland. Among their more than one hundred performances (with many more to come!) are prestigious events such as the Winterthurer Musikfestwochen, the Fête des Vignerons in Vevey, and Nouveau Monde in Fribourg.What began as a rich repertoire of traditional Eastern European music has since grown to include Catalan folk melodies as well as numerous original compositions. Their unconventional blend of flute, clarinet, and trombone timbres is set against soaring vocal lines, all driven by a high-energy rhythm section. With six members from different national backgrounds, they never shy away from giving their all—guaranteed to keep you dancing until dawn.

JOSEFA IBARRA
Josefa Ibarra is a singer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist
originally from Santiago, Chile, and based in Geneva, Switzerland, since
2016. Inspired by the music of her childhood and cultural experiences
worldwide, she is set to unveil her EP, "Vuelos 1."
Going beyond a mere collection of tracks, this production serves as a
narrative thread, exploring Josefa's evolving relationship with the
world around her. It begins with her roots, family, and childhood, then
delves into her connection with her maturing body, the country that
simultaneously welcomes and distances her from traditions, and the
musical instruments that accompany her, allowing her to maintain a link
with her homeland.
Fueled by Josefa's powerful and sincere voice, her compositions blend
the sounds of Latin American music with influences from pop, jazz, and
even classical genres. Through her lyrics, she taps into her personal
history to address universal themes such as self-care, self-esteem, love
devoid of violence or dictates, freedom, sisterhood, and resilience.
Thus, her music takes the audience on an immersive and dreamlike
journey, unveiling a palette of emotions that resonate with the soul.Since her debut as solo artist, I am lucky to be part of Josefa Ibarra’s touring band.
