  • Andreas Bulhoff & Marc Matter - Again_As

    13 November 2020 @ 12:00 am - 12:30 am

    more details


    Again As is a combinatorial Text-Sound Composition consisting of short synthesised words which are ambiguous or homophonous, collected from New York Times’ website and the “Politically Incorrect” sub-forum of the 4chan messageboard to create an artificial dialogue. It is based on a vinyl DJ-tool produced by the composers.

    This work makes use of 32 monosyllabic words which were collected from the website of the New York Times (newspaper, formal language, mainstream, liberal) and the sub-forum of the 4chan messageboard entitled Politically Incorrect (online messageboard, informal language, subculture, reactionary) in winter 2018/19. Recited by two synthetic voices, they mirror two opposing extremes of current online debate. This work aims to let them artificially talk to each other, while stripping the language material from its context to generate new text.

    To multiply the possibilities of meaning, this work contains ambiguous and homophonous words only – avoiding hate speech –, arranged in lists, text planes, rhythmic compositions and loops while exploiting the musicality of speech. It was produced by mixing two by two copies of this record in a DJ-setup, played by the two composers themselves in a duo situation.

    The record ɅV – A Sound Writing Tool is released by the Research & Waves collective and distributed as a DJ-Tool to make your own version of this piece. The composers are using this record for turntablist live performances as well. Again As is at the same time a post-digital take on sound poetry as it is created due to the current landscape of online debates and their ideologies. In the combinatorial filter bubble of this piece, looped words become a writing method that may produce fragmentary narratives or arbitrary mantras.

    First broadcasted by SWR2 Ars Acustica in March 2020, curated by Frank Halbig.

  • Craig Gell - Wave Machine

    13 November 2020 @ 6:00 am - 7:30 am

    more details

    Wave Machine translates real-time sea wave data, streamed from a marine observation buoy, into a continually evolving electronic soundscape. 

    A network of buoys dotted around the UK coast relay data to a freely accessible resource at channelcoast.org.

    Using Pure Data, the measurements such as wave height, speed and wave direction are programmed to control the parameters of sound – pitch, timbre, duration and position within the stereo field. Sea temperature is marked by a single modulating tone, with degrees Celsius transformed into oscillations per second. The buoy’s location sets the initial pitch giving each buoy its own distinct sound signature.

    Craig Gell is a composer and artist based in Folkestone. His recent work has been informed by the forces of nature and the natural environment.

    Wave Machine(2020) has exhibited at Folkestone and Ramsgate sound festivals, using data from their local buoys. 

    Craig also composes music and scores including the animated short films; Quarantine (2019) which aired on BBC4 and won Best Animated Short Film at London Short Film Festival, and Red Rover (2020) which was in part composed during a residency at the former home of Imogen Holst in Aldeburgh, care of the Britten-Pears Foundation and Wild Plum Arts.

  • Benoit Borries with Francesca Bolognesi- La Foresta dei Violini

    13 November 2020 @ 7:55 am - 9:00 am

    more details

    Initially, there is a sound art documentary produced by the Italian Swiss Radio entitled “The violins forest”, released in September 2020. I thus spent the whole month of June 2020 in the Val di Fiemme in the Dolomites with Francesca Bolognesi , the co-author of this documentary creation. We followed the men of this region making sound an endemic species of fir trees in order to choose the essences which will make their future violin instruments. The subject lends itself very well to sensitive sound writing. By surveying the mountain paths for a month, recording the different sound elements of the environmental and social landscape, collecting some anecdotes of the inhabitant / environment relationship through the sound dimension, it seemed natural to me to offer a longer, more musical form also existing in performative form, thought of as a sound stroll in the Val di Fiemme. “The violins forest”, in this version, tells about the strong bonds between the people of a valley and their close environment, through the prism of the sense of hearing.

    “The violins forest” is a sound journey made of the musicality of the landscapes of the Val di Fiemme. At times, voices are heard, incorporated into the rhythm of the composition. The didactic, analytical tone is prohibited here. Words always arise to tell an anecdote, an experience evoking the sensitive link of an inhabitant of the region with their close environment via sound. Giuliano, a ranger, describes his imitation of the call of the male of the white partridge, when he is in counting operation. Marcello has accompanied many luthiers in the region and developed a special sense of hearing in contact with the forest in order to find the best essences.

    With the voices of Marcello Mazzucchi, Giuliano Zugliani from the Forestale di Paneveggio, Fabio Ognibeni from the violin making company Ciresa.
    We would like to thank Franco Saber from the La Primula sawmill.
    With the support of the Val di Fiemme Tourist Agency.

  • Chiara Ambrosio - Letters from my friends

    13 November 2020 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am

    more details

    Initially devised as a two part show for Resonance 104.4 fm, this is a sonic patchwork that brings together the voices of many of my friends and collaborators (recorded across space and time over the telephone during lockdown), in a cathartic act of release, a gesture of collectivity on the airwaves, a celebration of the radio’s power to gather us together against the odds of circumstance and geography.

    Featuring, amongst many: Sukhdev Sandhu/ Andrea Zimmerman/ Gareth Evans/ a bird chorus recorded by Helena Hunter and Mark Peter Wright/ Joanna Ebenstein/ Jeremy Reed/ Bird Radio/ Brian Catling

    Chiara Ambrosio- Biography

    Chiara Ambrosio is a London-based filmmaker andvisual artist, working with film, photography, sound and printed matter toexplore the ways in which we perceive, remember, articulate and preservepersonal and collective histories and sense of place.

    Her current ongoing project “Raft” uses film, radio broadcast and printedmatter to imagine the city of London as a stage where encounters with realpeople and places speak to the role of local culture and applied imagination inshaping the identity of the city, creating a political and poetic form ofresistance of the marginal, small and silenced.

  • Fabian Zuniga - Agua

    13 November 2020 @ 10:00 am - 10:30 am

    more details

    A number of documented soundscapes recorded with the mindset of showcasing a perspective of reality. The idea it’s to create an awareness of the soundscapes that exists, the combinations of worlds, the movements, the rhythms, the tempos, the sensations and energy that the sounds around us create, the randomness, the consciousness and subconsciousness in sound creating and listening. How conscious acts from an outsider perspective, form part of a subconscious whole.

    These recordings are reminders of what surround us, what influences us, what shapes us, what we are part of.

    Born and raised in Costa Rica, with a degree in Film and Television. Even though I work in several aspects of the audiovisual production, sound it’s my main field. In 2017 I did a postgraduate in arts in sound in Belgium called EPAS. During EPAS I discovered new ways of listening and viewpoints towards sound, as well as sound art. The last couple of years, I have been mostly interested and documenting soundscapes and its role in our sound world/life.
    Documentary, randomness, surrealism, consciousness and subconsciousness, narrative sound would describe my recent approach.

    2. Sylvie Chenard – Marcher sur l’eau

    Marcher sur l’eau est un montage d’art sonore pour savourer, trouver de la musique lorsque le temps nous prend, qu’on avance à l’endroit, à l’envers du voyage, que des voix, des machines de l’été, du fleuve.

    3. Sweaetshops  –  An introdoctrination to We Eagerly Await Your Complete Submission No 12

    Have you got X? That certain “something”?Have you been biding “your time”? Do you just want to be “up there”? You know you do. You have always known. We have always known and in all ways known. Your dreams. Your deepest desires. Your moment. We are here to take you there on the next step.

    We Eagerly Await Your Complete Submission is an ongoing multidisciplinary work about the parallels between the rhetoric of religious cults and reality TV. Created from a mixture of audition tapes,self-help cassettes and show business jargon.

     Sweætshops® is a multipersonality “conglomerate” and multidisciplinary artist, whose practise is focused on creating allegory out of the waste of 21st century capitalism using sound and performance. Their name is a portmanteau of the two extremes of our current era. They hold a sonic arts MMus, are the 2019 recipient of the BUZZCUT Emerging Artist Award and have been both banned from the Edinburgh Fringe and simultaneously legally married/divorced for Brexit. They have played various festivals including Listen Again and Meadows Festival. Their work has also been featured on compilations by various labels including Violet Comet and DeadHound Records.

    4. Alison Carlier and Amanda Loomes – Disorder (extract from Spiky Punk)

    Spiky Black was a collaborative digital audio work made for Metal’s digital art park – NetPark in Chalkwell Park, Southend, UK. We worked with Chalkwell Park’s gardeners, Peter Beales rose nursery in Norfolk, NetPark Wellbeing Project and Leigh Horticultural Society. Spiky Black playfully shifts register from the pragmatic to the poetic, incorporating language sourced from punk bands, historic rose catalogues, horticultural terminology and first person interviews. A retired park gardener inspired the title and concept for the artwork – he grew up a punk and imagined naming a rose ‘Spiky Black’ in memory of his youth. ‘Disorder’ features names of punk bands and roses, grafted together over English fairground music typical of the early 20th Century when the rose garden was first planted.                                          

    5. Anette Gellein – Crystalizing         

    From Cinema For Lonely Souls a compilation of sound works,more minimal than my previous work. It is composed by a synth programmed in Max/Msp and the analog synth Moog Mother 32. The sound compositions is both based on very fixed parameters as well as analog improvisation. This collection of work is especially inspired by more minimal electronic composers,such as for example Eliane Radigue.  

    Anette Gellein (b.1995) is a multi-media artist working with video, music,  sound, text, images, drawing, performance and textiles. Her work often comes together in immersive installations combining different mediums. She graduated with a masters from Glasgow School of Art specialising in performance in 2019 and is currently based in Stavanger, Norway. Previous studies include Nordland Art- and Film school & BA in Contemporary Art from Tromsø Academy of Contemporary art in 2017.

    6. Christian Banasik – Glass Cutter 

     This piece was composed using normal tableware, such as glasses, cups and saucers, as well as other kitchen sounds. The rhythms of these original short actions have an influence on the form development and the electronic manipulations. The idea was to create a sound miniature which consists of real daily life parts which are heavily manipulated on a musical level. The algorithmic calculated patterns control the development and position of the short sampled “domestic actions” during the piece and the change of single sound parameters.

    Christian Banasik – studied composition and live-electronics with Gunther Becker and
    Dimitri Terzakis at the Robert Schumann Academy of Music in Dusseldorf and with Hans
    Zender at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Frankfurt. His instrumental and
    electronic works have been featured in concerts and radio programs throughout Europe as
    well as in the Americas, Asia, and Australia. He has received national and international music awards and scholarships. Banasik is lecturer for Audio Visual Design at the University for Applied Sciences / Peter Behrens School of Arts and the artistic director of the Computer Music Studio and the EM composition class of the Clara Schumann Music School in Dusseldorf/Germany. Beside live electronics and computer music, he has produced works for tape, radio plays and film soundtracks.

    Credits: Bernard Clarke, Narrator

    “In the consuming flow of time, from childhood to manhood, iconoclasm worms its way out of a man crushed by shame and guilt. Images observe him, they reveal his dark secrets.By purging all those accusing smiles he secures a momentary relief. As his resentment grows stronger, he retaliates against the most famous smile but he fails and by realising that people can’t comprehend his mind and never will, he learns that “misunderstanding” is freedom to treasure personal secrets.”
    Text by Monica Miuccio published by the academic psychology magazine Tecniche Conversazionali (Milano 2000), adapted and interpreted by Bernard Clarke.

    “IRIDE PROJECT” Massimo Davi & Monica Miuccio is a performing duo and an exciting research into non-deterministic electro-acoustic music and sound emphasis poetry. They explore the sound through conventional and unconventional instruments, piezoelectric transducers, field recordings, electronics, voice/spoken word and an analogue modular synthesizer. Iride Project’s works were performed in Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Finland,

    Through a combination of Scottish archive footage dating from the1940’s, ambient music and field recordings from the Outer Hebrides, this dream-like piece is intended to transport the listener to a journey through rural Scotland, encountering tales of folklore and tradition told by the people themselves. In our modern world where digital storytelling has all but taken the place of our oral traditions, this piece aims to act as a time capsule left by the common people of the past, of the long forgotten tales and environments that shaped their world, and eventually our own.’

    Fraser MacBeath is a sound artist, music producer and current student at The Glasgow School of Art who hails from the Isle of Lewis. Using field recordings and archive footage, his hometown in the Outer Hebrides plays a central role in the work he produces. Fraser at present works solely with material gathered throughout rural Scotland, using the surroundings as the inspiration and very texture of his work. Creating contemporary sounds that showcase Scottish Island culture through the lens of his personal relationship with it.’

    1.  David Snow – Quantum Fields

    In 1920, André Breton and Philippe Soupault published Les champs magnétiques (“The magnetic fields”), generally acknowledged to be the first major work of literary surrealism. Breton and Soupault composed the text by means of automatic writing, a technique Soupault praised as “granting the spirit a liberty which we had known only in our dreams… freeing ourselves from all logical apparatus.”That same ego-negating poetic impulse currently finds expression in the use of computers to generate verse. The lyrics that comprise The quantum fields were generated using McPoet by Chris F. Westbury and The Surrealist Compliment Generator by Banjo Ruthless Creations.

    The compositions of David Jason Snow have been performed in concert by the Ensemble Intercontemporain at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Banda Municipal de Bilbao at the Euskalduna Palace in Bilbao, The New Juilliard Ensemble at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and many other artists and ensembles internationally. His fixed media audio and visual works have been performed at the Musinfo Journées Art & Science Festival in Bourges, the FestivalExhibitronic in Strasbourg, the Festival Internacional de Video Arte y MúsicaVisual in Mexico City, the Sound Thought Festival in Glasgow, and Echofluxx in Prague.

     2. Gerald Fiebig & Michael Herbst -Herbstblätter III

    Thetitle is both a pun on the name of the author of the featured texts – it literally means „Herbst’s sheets“ – and the German word for „autumn leaves“.Through extreme time-stretching, the ‘authentic’ voice of the author-subject speaking his text (actually, lists of very heterogeneous German words) is turned into an ‘a signifying material flux’ (Christoph Cox), thus blurring the boundaries between meaningful speech, noise, and melody. Other fragments of speech function as rhythmic units. In this way, the piece radicalises certain tendencies of radio art int he tradition of concrete poetry.

     Gerald Fiebig’s radiophonic work has been broadcast on “Radiophrenia” as well as various public and independent radio stations in Australia, Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Israel, Portugal,and Switzerland. Michael Herbst edited the art zine “Der Anbau” and is active as a writer and photographer. Since2012, Gerald Fiebig has realised various sound pieces based on Herbst’s text and voice: “Herbstblätter I” for live performance and “Herbstblätter II” for fixed media. Their collaboration also includes a photo series by Herbst with texts by Fiebig.

    3. Hannah Kemp Welch – A Seat at the Table

    A Seat at the Table is an audio work produced through social practice, with female-identifying anti-war activists from across the globe. The title of the work refers to the trope that positions nuclear weapons as necessary to secure membership of a global decision-making group. The work is composed from recordings made in the UK and in Japan during the summer of 2019. Sounds include the voices of Japanese Hibakusha (survivors of the nuclear bomb), and field recordings collected at locations such as the A-bomb dome and hospitals caring for first generation Hibakusha.

    Hannah Kemp-Welch has a socially engaged practice that is concerned with listening. Working with diverse constituencies to record conversations, stories and local histories,works emerge through the voices of participants, layered with environmental and  imagined sounds. Hannah makes works for broadcast, installation andperformance, using documentation such as zines to keep open possibilities for collective action and social change. Hannah has worked with communities across the UK, and shown works in arts spaces including Middlesbrough Institute ofModern Art, Nottingham Contemporary, Tate Modern, Barbican and Flat Time House.

    A soundscape,which takes it cue from the secluded alpine sanatorium described by Thomas Mann in TheMagic Mountain (1924). Individual sonic contributions are re-imagined as if circulating within the spaces of a remote mountain refuge, where acoustic fragments pass and mingle via a series of rest-cures, breakfasts, luncheons and dinners, eventually to disperse in slumber.

  • Alexis Weaver - Mineral Disobedience

    13 November 2020 @ 6:00 pm - 6:30 pm

    more details

    Mineral Disobedience is an experimental soundscape inspired by an unofficial war waged in Sydney, Australia. Known for its natural beauty, the Emerald city is experiencing a period of rampant development; mirroring the wider world. Industry leaders must increasingly engage with environmental concerns raised by the public, as has been demonstrated by the ongoing climate change protests. For the latter group, this is a deeply personal issue which must affect the way we all interact with nature forever; for the former, it seems climate collapse is an administrative nuisance rather than impending reality. I use this context as a starting point to explore how Human, Machine and Animal might interact if the machines and tools we use in our taming of Nature were given anthropomorphic voices. Field recordings of construction sites and the natural world intersect as the machinery rattles to life. How would the diggers, jackhammers, trucks, the frames of the skyscrapers themselves, interact with their surroundings if liberated from their day jobs? The minerals from the ground, re-moulded into the building blocks of humankind, would surely have some things to say.

    The piece charts a loose journey through the life of such machines, including the monotony of the construction site, hearing the dazzling voices of many humans, a flirtation with the natural world, and an inevitable return to ordained duty. The natural resonances of these field recordings inform the melodic content of the piece, including the recurring, poignant melody.

    Alexis Weaver is an electroacoustic composer based in Sydney, Australia. Born in the Shoalhaven, Alexis grew up learning flute, voice and harp before commencing study at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in 2014. Now, she draws on her classical music upbringing in a slightly different way, creating whimsical and adventurous electroacoustic works which celebrate the emotive capabilities of sound. While her principal interest lies in composing fixed-media acousmatic music, she has also composed soundtracks for animations, short stories, radio, dance and theatre, and exhibited audio-visual installations.

    Alexis is also co-founder of female composer collective lost+sound, who in 2018 launched a series of concerts celebrating established and emerging artists working in experimental music fields. ​

    1. Elina Bry – Preambule

    Journey through a practice, the methods and reflections on our Art Heros.

    ElinaBry is French/Finnish, Glasgow based multidisciplinary artist. She works across video, storytelling and live performance, and is interested at listening to and re-staging the malfunctions of the human body. She is curious about the body as a sentient arena; as a responsive tool and as a protagonist of an everyday drama. By that, she investigates the known, model it and work in collaboration with the instability of her body. It is essential that she doesn’t cause any harm as she want to challenge her body with the everyday, in order to give a stage and witness what is already there.

    4. Lise Olsen and Lesley Wilson – The land that Forgot

    Written and performed by Lesley Wilson. Soundscape created by Lise Olsen.

    The Land that Forgot is a story of a world where forgetting is at epidemic levels: The reasons for forgetting are complex but the consequences are that the land, and all that lives on it, is dying. However, in this world lives an old woman who knows the secrets of the land, the songs of its soul and a way of saving it. This collaborative work was produced using a poem written and performed by Lesley Wilson, and a soundscape created by Lise Olsen. The sound weaves together the story with field-recordings and an original score by musician Ailie Robertson. 

    Lesley Wilson is a Perthshire based playwright whose work has been read and performed at theatres across Scotland. She creates stories about the world by questioning the interaction of people, place, time and space. Her writing brings into the light the voices and stories of those who are often invisible and unheard.  

     Lise Olsen is a responsive artist who works in-between a sphere of space and the sonic. She is a Ph.D. candidate in Sonic Arts at theUniversity of Aberdeen; presenting her work at many Scottish events, her research explores immersive soundscapes and the embodied experience of the in-between.

  • Mark Peter Wright - Listening to Learning

    13 November 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 7:30 pm

    more details

    Listening to Learning is an experimental soundwork assembled from interviews with practitioners in the Faculty of Education, Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU). Across fields of education, ethnography and geography, the work investigates listening within the context of learning, and explores various methods involved in sonic pedagogy. Voices are mixed with ambient recordings from the research center itself, MMU, interlinking the space in which listening takes place to an ecology of sensation, relations and praxis. The project was developed by Mark Peter Wright in collaboration Dr.Michael Gallagher in the Education and Social Research Institute (ESRI), MMU.

    Mark Peter Wright is an artist-researcher working at the intersection of sound,ecology and contemporary art. His practice investigates relations of capture and mediation between humans and non humans, sites and technologies, observers and subjects. He is interested in listening as a critical, imaginative and interpretive methodology for situated practice-based knowledge. His work has been presented across international platforms and combines installation,broadcast, performance and writing.

    1. Panayiotis Kokoras- Qualia             

    Qualia are claimed to be individual instances of subjective conscious experience. The way it feels to have mental states such as hearing frequencies at the lower threshold of human hearing or a piercing sound hearing a tone from a ship horn or the granularity of a recorded field recording. The motion and the meaning inherited in the sounds are not disconnected from the sounds and are not the reason for the sounds but are in fact the sound altogether. Energy movement and timbre become one sound source identification cause guessing sound energies gesture decoding and extra-musical connotations are not independent of the sound but vital internal components of it.

    Kokoras is an internationally award-winning composer and computer music innovator. He is an Associate Professor in composition at the University of North Texas. Kokoras’s sound compositions use timbre as the main element of form. His concept of “holophony” describes his goal that each independent sound (phonos) contributes equally into the synthesis of the total (holos). In both instrumental and electroacoustic writing his music calls upon a “virtuosity of sound,” emphasizing the precise production of variable sound possibilities and the correct distinction between one timbre and another to convey the musical ideas and structure of the piece.

    Austria: Mia Zabela – E-Violin, Live Electronic, Voice
    Hungary: Tibor Szemző – Flute, Samples, Voice
    Italy:Roberto Paci Dalò – Clarinet, Live Electronic

    Kroatien: Zahra Mani  – Contrabass, E-Guitar, Field-recordings, Voicesamples

    Sound and radio waves have the potential of power on many levels: artistic, communicative, rebellious; they are medium and expression of manifold layers of meaning. In the Corona crisis, the four musicians joined into a live quartet on the radio via Internet stream from their studios in Austria, Hungary, Italy and Croatia. The acoustic exchange of music, language and sound was the base for a joint radio performance from a distance. 

    On the initiative of the Styrian GKP (Gesellschaft für Kulturpolitik) the artists streamed simultaneously from their studios on Friday, May 22, 2020 and could be heard live on the radio of the University of San Marino USMARADIO.ORG. In addition, “News from Radio Yerevan” could also be heard in real time via Radio Helsinki Graz and Radio Agora Leutschach & Klagenfurt.

    The title refers to Radio Yerevan, a fictional radio station that for years answered a series of audience questions behind the so-called iron curtain (Radio Yerevan was asked…..Radio Yerevan answered……), the answers were characterized by humor, cynicism and absurdity as a reflection on the lies and hypocrisy of a communication culture that is now emerging as the forerunner of today’s fake news.

    For her radio art remix, sound artist Zahra Mani has taken the live quartet recordings to the next creative step, exploring acoustic materials, their manipulation, meaning, application and aesthetics.

    In “News from Radio Yerevan revisited”, the layers of sounds, the merging and summing of the individual voices into a new overall sound are deconstructed and reconstructed, spatialized, filtered, transformed. The result is a dynamic, spatial radio piece that explores power and manipulation as well as dialogue and exchange.

    This piece was conceived in three different process:

    Sapphires appear at the beginning as precise and punctual materials “a place where absorption of light is possible”. The first version of the piece where the structure can be heard. “As an Interaction between matter with different wavelengths of light as a sounds”. Dichroism is more descriptive and oneiric. The voice like a derive of the spectrum of Sapphires (a precious gemstone). Lia Ferenese (singer) explore new vocal possibilities as a part of a musical expression in this piece. Nontextual sonic combined with electronic sounds of the first piece: a variation of the word/phoneme of Sapphires is mixed and process creating new
    sounds like an “incident polarization state of light… A material will absorb light, like a Corundum depending on the presence of transition impurities in its crystalline structure”. Diattenuation is a variation that include materials of the previous pieces. The length of the piece always is the same (8:24). In Diattenuation there are permutations of the essential like an Items derive from different electroacoustic technics. Excerpts of this pieces have been composed in my residency at Studios LaBut in 2019, Strasbourg, France.

Our performance will be a mix of those elements with a media critical essay, exploring the development of medial truth since the beginning of the Cold War. Echo is the conceptual and technical core of the project. The spoken text will be accompanied by a soundscape made with a Russian synthesizer which creates a hypnotic, dreamy soundscape. We will play with the concept of time through content and technology.
