THE INTERNATIONAL NOTHING
is the collective name, both composer / clarinetists are working exclusively
on compositions (no improv), where both instruments melt into one sound, which
sometimes sounds like more than two instruments through the extensive use of
multiphonics and difference tones; their pieces have a delicate and slowed down
quality and celebrate a unique and timeless beauty; they will present a collection
of pieces developed between 2003 and 2009 www.kylie.klingt.org/

Transforming the space into a labyrinth of sounds
and images, Kato (acoustic and electric instruments) and Scherrer (on analog
video mixer) use text as a key structure to follow (or not to follow), in order
to create a constant dialog between them, the audience and the environment www.katohideki.com

| Alexei Borisov (Moscow) & Jeffrey Surak (Washington DC) |
Friday 20 |
|
|
One of the pioneers of Russian modern glitch-tech
electronics - Borisov, meets veteran experimenter (and knighted by Ukrainian
MTV "godfather of American noise") - Surak, (also known as *Violet*);
as a duo they present a perfectly balanced mixture of deep meditative lo-fi
analogue drones, electro-acoustic improvisations, numerous samples and concrete
recordings, creating a complete, panoramic, hypnotizing impression, at times
surprisingly calm, yet punctuated by sudden intense extremes, but never afraid
to veer into slow and beautiful melodies showing an uncommon side of dark and
noisy music www.nbresearchdigest.com

to mark the 10th anniversary of the premiere public performance of that work
