Sergey Komarov and Alexey Grachev (Russia)

Friday 3

Subjectivization of Sound, a sound performance that gradually transforms into an interactive installation - is based on interaction with space and viewers; by contrasting and matching two principles of the synthesis of electronic sound, analog and digital, each time the audio artists create a new sound that includes the sense of space, people and everything around them. the chief instruments of Grachev are the development environment Max/MSP and the platform Arduino for communication with space, and the analog modular synthesizer of Komarov; the mobility and variability of the performance are of great significance: any available equipment which happens to be on the site can be used; An Audio Performance Project by CYLAND Media Art Lab

Matt Mottel  and Kevin Shea  (New York)

Sunday 5

Endgame of the Anthropocene is Talibam!’s (Matt Mottel - synthesizers and
Kevin Shea- drums, electronics) first cinematic performance of through-composed ecogothic geosonics; it is the soundtrack to 2048’s despotic nationalism and crumbling international infrastructure, underscoring an eco-mercantilistic tragedy and the desperate plundering of Antarctica, the last pristine landscape on Earth; it is a dystopian sonic pronouncement of failed socio-environmental memes, and features Talibam!’s emergence into hyperkinetic rhythm-based instrumental/electronic music; this music will be released on ESP-DISK in the second half of 2017     www.talibam.bandcamp.com       youtube.com/talibambam
