Felipe Sáez Riquelme: FOTOGRAFIEN DES PAZIFISCHEN OZEAN Für Körper, Stimme, Loop Pedal und Gegenstände. Diese Sprechstücke (noch in Bearbeitung) sind ein fragmentarisches Porträt des Pazifischen Ozeans. Aus mehreren Perspektiven versuche ich die Geschichte des Austauschs zwischen der ersten und der dritten Welt neu in den aktuellen Kontext setzen. Felipe Sáez Riquelme (Santiago de Chile, 1986) ist Anthropologe, Dichter und Performance-Künstler. Sein literarisches Werk ist breit gefächert und interdisziplinär, da er das Schreiben mit Klangkunst, Performance und visuellen Elementen verbindet. Er ist Autor der Bücher “Los tambores difieren” (2015) sowie “Un año en trece lunas” (2016) und ist bereits auf verschiedenen Veranstaltungen und Kulturfestivals in Buenos Aires (Argentinien) und Santiago (Chile) aufgetreten. Seine Performance “Himnosis” (2017) wurde für die Performance-Biennale BP.17 in Buenos Aires ausgewählt.

The phenomenon of Rovar17 (Insect17 in English) was born 31st of August 2002, what is basically Kálmán Pongrácz’s solo project, but different kinds of collaboration often occur with musicians, visual artists, performers as well as theater, so Rovar17 is a member of several bands as ParaNoiZ, Royal Hungarian Noisemakers or the Százaségő was (from 2013 to 2015). The music is made by audio collage technique, which rejects the traditional sound system, harmony, melody, even rhythm, and creates compositions from inconsistent and untempered sounds, noises. The source is natural or electronic, but the most preferred is the inclusion of human voices. This act has already seen more than 350 concerts and performances, and has played all across Hungary, in Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom and the United States of America. facebook.com/rovar17 havizaj.bandcamp.com/album/charlie-foxtrot youtube.com/watch?v=z1HjBQYuNYg
Zopán Nagy is a poet, photographer and artist. A spiritual man with wide-ranging knowledge and sophistication. Like a man of paradoxes – he screws one more thing: as if try to take a photo of Hell in Heaven. He follows his own ghostly visions. It fuses and provokes the chance. Intensive philosophy and imagination-attention are the motivates – just like his poems – he constantly reflects on himself in the works. His mystical involvement exists in philosophical paradoxes.

Nomen est omen bei Circuitnoise – in den entlegensten Schaltkreisen findet Jens Rosenfeld noch Sound.

Mathematische und physikalische Zufälle und Entscheidungsverhalten von komplexen Systemen beeinflussen die Soundgenerierung. Musikalisch bewegt das Projekt sich zwischen Noise, Sound Art und Live-Elektronik. circuitnoise.de facebook.com/Circuitnoise

Elefante Branco (White Elephant) is the solo project of electroacoustic improvisation developed by the sound artist Marcelo Armani that has as its base and concepts the fields of concrete music, minimalist and experimental music. The project is born in 2013 when the artist feels the need to use a series of sounds and noises from the recording of different sound landscapes captured in urban and natural soundscapes. The great part of this material results from actions performed by the artist himself for the production and composition of both pieces and multi-channel sound installations. They are cutouts. Fragments of sounds and noise produced by motor vehicles, trains, subway, voices, birds, insects, storms, rain, electromagnetic processes, construction tools and industrial, domestic and cinematographic machines. In live sound performances, the artist, under the name of Elefante Branco, produces in real time a series of compositions using these fragments that are converted into small samplers and fired by electronic equipment. Other textures generated by analog / digital synthesizers, sequencers and effects are incorporated into the clippings of this sound landscape for the production of layers and textures that explore the variation of frequencies, amplitudes and timbres. The intention is to propose the perception of volumes, surfaces and sonic spatialities that express sensations of densities, lightness, granulations, tensions, rhythms and environments that run through dimensional orders from micro to macro. elefantebranco.weebly.com elefantebranco.bandcamp.com

Both electronic musicians and composers, Somekilos (half of 2kilos &More) and Phil Von (co-leader of Von Magnet) also share a passion for percussions and rhythms.Their common project entitled META MEAT associates the source of flesh (MEAT) with its passage beyond (META). META MEAT is a very physical live act bound to propel our bodies and souls into another state, a state of release and trance, incarnating a wish to elevate our animality towards a higher conscience of being. The duo fights together a vibrant duel. Their joined skills and energies combine real drumming & beating (Somekilos), real stamping & banging (Phil Von) together battling against twisted virtual synths samples & machines. The electronic sounds being treated as radically as the acoustic percussions played by the two musicians, the musical result turns out sounding utterly “tribal”. metameat.bandcamp.com facebook.com/somevon

GUIGUISUISUI 鬼鬼祟祟 is a two piece art-rock performance band. Curated by Chinese artist Nan Guazi and her British husband, Guiguisuisui blends electronic and live sounds to create the backdrop for interactive theatre performances which feature a cast of characters from an imagined future and past. Over the top of this Nan Guazi’s live animations are projected onto the stage; animated steampunk fairytales that add to the ethereal quality of the performance. The show has toured relentlessly since it’s beginnings in 2012, with gigs in China, Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe (UK, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Poland). In 2016 they were presented with the ‘Band of the Year’ award at City Weekend – Beijing’s annual awards show – as well as being featured on the cover of 通俗 歌 曲 (‘tong su ge qu’) magazine, China’s longest running rock and roll magazine. The Shining Soundscape concept is the latest manifestation of the bands’ experiences to date: an artistic performance that combines both live digital video painting and improvised ambient music, to create a backdrop over which performance and meditative chanting combine with electronic music, in a meeting of minds and cultures. guiguisuisui.bandcamp.com daftpop.bandcamp.com facebook.com/Guiguisuisui
