Music / Video / Performance
The solo vocal and guitar performances from Dolores Flores, are an experimental and melodic combination of her lyrics, texts and poems unified into a performative context, for her diverse room installations and exhibitions since 2011.
The newest musical project “The Unfamiliarnaires” was founded in 2021 together with Marius D. Kettler, they combine electronic and analog techniques.
As a duo, they have been making music together since 1992. They have produced conceptional music for exhibitions, performances and art videos. Their sound is analog, combined with electronic sounds and field recordings. Dolores Flores writes the lyrics and poems, sings the vocals, plays the electric and acoustic guitar and bass. Marius D. Kettler plays the drums, keyboards and the flute. He does the sound engineering, production and creates experimental sounds.
Their repertoire ranges from melodic melancholic poetic chanson pop to experimental spoken word, atmospheric soundscapes to alternative rock and folk songs. Influenced from classical music to punk rock, from folk to jazz and chanson, all of these components play a role in their music. Dolores Flores and Marius D. Kettler have performed live together and with various guest musicians throughout Berlin in galleries and venues such as Franz Club, Pfefferberg, Boudoir, Live Club and Fête de la Music and many more.
Since 2022 they are now recording new songs and producing video footage for future music videos.
