Contriva Live in Berlin
Since the mid '90s, the Berlin-based band Contriva has created music that combines elements of post-rock, acoustic folk and electronica. We join two members of the band, Masha Qrella and Rike Schuberty, in their home studio. They perform live, talk about writing lyrics in both English and German, and discuss how Berlin has changed over the past decade.
