| Marko Ciciliani (Vienna) 6pm
until 10:30 |
Sunday 11
|
In the 4.5 hour long sound-art composition
"Pop Wall Alphabet" Ciciliani explores the sound characteristics of
26 pop artists, by working with dense superimposing of songs and their spectral
extractions, searching for “the sound†which
has gained an almost mythical criteria in pop production; different degrees between
abstraction and recognizability, combined with subtle psychoacoustic effects,
turn this piece into a personal, immersive and sensual listening experience

(Can), Shelley Hirsch (NY) |
Monday 12 |
"9-9-18"; Liberovskaya
(live video) invites Dumas (field recordings, laptop) and Hirsch (voice, words)
to join forces for an evening where disparate fragments of life, scenes, stories,
compositions, sounds and images come together and apart as they form a series
of ever-changing fleeting audio-visual worlds

solo set: a music percourse between textural melodies and sound relations with

| Hans Tammen (New York) |
Wednesday 14 |
With the Third Eye Orchestra, Hans uses Earle Brown’s
open form composition idea as a starting point to create a large multi-movement
piece for a 15-piece ensemble + live sound
processing. The music is inspired by West African roots of Jazz, Miles Davis’
Bitches Brew, Steve Coleman, and Stravinsky’s layering or Steve
Reich’s phase techniques; with Mari Kimura, Jason Hwang, Stephanie
Griffin, Tomas Ullrich, Briggan Kraus, Marty Ehrlich, Robert Dick, Detlef Landeck,
Dafna Naphtali, Ursel Schlicht, Denman Maroney, Nick Didkovsky and Satoshi Takeishi

Composers Inside Electronics, a
group known for its pioneering home-built electronics and early "Circuit
Bending," will present an evening of new and classic electronic works including
"Speaking in Tongues" (2011) by John Driscoll for ultrasonic instruments,
"Rainforest I" (1968) by David Tudor for amplified table-top resonant
objects, and a collaborative improvisation

| Maria Chavez (New York) |
Friday 16 |
As a continuation of Chavez's interest
in removing the turntable from her practice, this performance will take place
as 2 short pieces; the first piece will represent the diminishment of the turntable
as a tool with Chavez using a portable turntable and a single record; the second
piece will shift the focus away from the tool and solo performance setting; the
piece then becomes a collaboration with Daniel Neumann in an ongoing study on
sound placement and individual perspective within a space mariachavez.org

"Missing for 10 years"
- this performance articulates concepts like the anxiety caused by the lack of
bonds when crossing an ocean, with 10 years of absence defined by law to the term
of a life existence; sea salt is the most relevant element in this piece, as it
shapes the sound, according to its density
