Dixflöppi is the joint pop and performance project of Lille Schmid and Till Bürgin. So far, this collaboration has resulted in a few live performances and a first album, Last Night I Was An Angel (2023, self-released). Since then, we have been trying to adapt our working methods to our spatial distance, currently between Paris and Frankfurt, while at the same time involving our various interests and focuses between sound arts, fashion design, performance, text, and video more strongly. Constantly moving between media, our musical output is increasingly moving outside of familiar music formats.
Till Bürgin (*2001 in Basel) is a Sound Artist and performer based in Gießen, Germany. Having previously completed their studies in Sound Art, Till is currently studying Applied Theatre Studies in Gießen. The focus of their artistic work lies somewhere between text and music and on the search for their mutual dissolution in performative contexts. Often working with fixed media, be that sound, image or text, Till is trying to feel for where these formats become tangible and how we relate to them on a physical level. Apart from that, Till is also frequently engaged in more collaborative works, where their involvement varies from scoring the music to doing the sound design for performances, all with an ongoing interest of how sound itself can be performed.
Lille Schmid (*2000 in Basel) is currently completing an internship as a designer at Acne Studios in Paris following her studies in Fashion Design in Antwerp. Her practice is rooted in a vehement interest in textile craft and with these slowly learned skills, her fingers drape stories both personal and always striving to elaborate on a distinctly human predicament. Over the years, Lille's focus has shifted—from theatre performance to costume design, from writing about clothes back to making them—always circling around a central question: the performance of self and the questioning of an inherent core identity. In her work, Lille creates a contained space—a vacuum of sorts—and fills it with narrative, telling that story through whatever form is at hand: a garment, a costume, a text written, spoken, or sung aloud.
