PROJECTS
IPSO
IPSO is an artistic collective founded in 2020 by Rebecca Minten, developing transdisciplinary stage creations that combine theatre, music, movement, visual arts and circus. The collective’s projects are based on horizontal creative processes, where each artist contributes their own tools, practices and sensibilities.
IPSO’s performances emerge from exchanges, improvisation and collective experimentation. This approach encourages the members to step outside their artistic comfort zones, redefine their roles and explore new forms of collaboration. It is notably inspired by Claire Bishop’s vision of social practice, which places artistic creation within a collective and participatory dynamic.
IPSO’s creations take the form of immersive performances that are accessible to a wide range of audiences. They explore themes related to everyday life, social dynamics and contemporary political issues, with a tone that is at once light, critical and sensitive.

MINTEN & Gonzalez
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.Together they created the work Zones limitrophes which evolved in an eclectic duo touring since then.
Minten&Gonzalez were 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, wabi-sabi tapes and Aut Records.
SOLO
I approach the solo as a further act of co-creation, a starting point of listening — a space where present needs, questions, and listening practices take form in real time. Never twice the same.These works unfold as evolving sound research, moving between folk melodic traces and the textures of contemporary experimental sound. The solo becomes an intimate field of presence: a shared space for deep listening, subtle attention, and collective introspection.
Through breath, repetition, and transformation, inherited materials shift into new constellations — porous, unstable, and alive.
An electro acoustic research with live processing and clarinet, bass clarinet, contrabass clarinet.
My first solo project is called “mémoire vive” and is currently in develpoment at the Cité des Arts in Paris. It’s an attempt to translate contact improvisation into musical concepts. Being vulnerable and available to be able to be moved eventually.
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.
