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

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 |

Vytautas V. Jurgutis, Vaclovas Nevcesauskas (Lithuania) A Video Event |
Thursday 9 |
METROSCAN: A
live audiovisual concert by Jurgutis (live electronics) and
Nevcesauskas (live video) which reflects electronics, glitch, beats,
noise, realtime generated computer graphics, visuals,
various nowadays data streams, post-urban and post-internet
aesthetics; the title of the work has derived from Metro,
Metropolis, Metronome, Metrics and similar meanings and
inspirations, these many-sided concepts are digitally objectified
and originally developed in this project; the project is based on a
purely digital aesthetics where specially live generating visual
structures and diligent images interflow and interact with
sophisticated electronic music - endless layers and textures of
purely digital sound balanced on the edge of audibility, peculiar
and diverse rhythms and pulsations

can’t believe that’s what you think of me…” An evening of virtual
reality and performance celebrating tiny, trivial thoughts and
creativity, and incomplete information; punctuating the night will

of intersections of moving image with sonic art; a program
of screen works representing dynamic two-way
collaborations between video/film artists and sound/music artists
specifically intended for single-channel projection with no live or
performance component; featuring collaborations by: Magdalena
Campos-Pons / Neil Leonard; Paul Clipson / Byron Westbrook; Julie
Doucet / Anne-f. Jacques; Janene Higgins / Cassis B Staudt; Luis
Macias / Alfredo Costa Monteiro; Geoff Matters / Dok Gregory;
Laetitia Morais / Carlos Guedes; Dafna Naphtali / Hans Tammen;
Mercedes Peris / Ferrer-Molina; Paola Pisani / Alessandro Fogar |
