computer music, programming, composition


Klaus Filip is a performer/composer/programmer and is maybe the first viennese musician, who used the laptop on stage at around 1993.
The main focus of his current work is sinewaves, whose subtle and adducent sounds are used in a wide dynamic range depending on the 
project; that could be a noisy set with Chulki Hong or playing at the odor detection threshold with Radu Malfatti.


Klaus Filip runs a software project called ppooll (formerly known as lloopp) that is a networking collection of a 
variety of modules. This freeware is widely used by improvising musicians all over the world.

Agnes Hvizdalek (1987) makes improvised music with the voice as her main instrument.
In the course of the last years, she has auto-didactically developed a repertoire of special vocal techniques and enjoys going to extremes.

One of her most important teachers was Franz Hautzinger. Otomo Yoshihide and Radu Malfatti also played a crucial role in encouraging her work. Junko increased her interest in extreme vocal sounds. This especially influences her non-amplified solo performances. In addition to her solo work, she is happy to explore different ways of interaction in improvisation and to share her interest in music's role in society with other artists.

Since 2008, she has been in a duo with noise veteran Harald Fetveit, who started playing experimental electronics in the early Eighties. In 2010, she worked with ÖNCZkekvist, an improvisation orchestra consisting of 30 musicians from Austria, Norway, and the Czech Republic. The orchestra emerged from an exchange project that Agnes organized as part of her European Voluntary Service, her reason for moving to Oslo in 2008. Before, she studied improvised music, Social and Cultural Anthropology,
and Arts Management in Vienna, where she also grew up. She continued studying Musicology, Phonetics, and Cultural Administration in Oslo. Recently, she has done theoretical research on the link between musical and organizing structures in improvising collectives. She analyzed creative processes within groups she had worked with before and was able to prove the necessity of a post-heroic understanding of leadership in order to explain the highly idealistic artistic dimension of free improvised music.

She has played with Kristin Andersen, Sejiro Murayama, Klaus Filip, Bonnie Jones, Manon Liu Winter, Burkhard Stangl, and Mia Göran. She has been involved in festivals like All Ears, Strange Art Festival, Happy Nordic Music Days, Støy på landet, the sound art festival Manual for the Construction of a Sound in Norway, and Cable# in Nantes, France and has played concerts in Vienna, Oslo,
Paris, Le Mans, Rennes, Prague, Brno, Oslo...

Born in 1975, Francisco Meirino is active since 1994 (as phroq until 2009) in experimental music and live performance. His music explores the tension between programmable material and the potential for its failure, he is primarily interested in the idea of recording what is not supposed to be : gear failures, the death of PA systems, magnetic fields and electro-static noises and in how failure can become something more than just annoying.
Francisco Meirino's music is fascinating by its physical intensity and detail precision.
He mainly works with the computer, reel-to-reel tape recorders, magnetic fields detectors, piezo
tranducers, field recorders and home-made electronics.

Adam Asnan 15.11.12




Adam Asnan is a London based composer-performer of musique concrète, acquiring an MA under the supervision of Denis Smalley in 2009.
Adam's work promotes the aesthetic potential of fixed (recorded), amplified sound, and the instabilities of a format; the auditory 'image' subject to intervention, or the whims of its artifice.
His compositions, live performances and audio-visual collaborations have been presented and staged across Europe and has recordings published by Entr'acte, Senufo Editions and Foredoom.

Dear Friends,

With the arrival of Autumn, we have some news...


After the good experience at Teatro San Leonardo last year, we are very
happy to announce that we will start working again with old friends.
Starting in October, we will intensely cooperate with the network Xing 
(http://www.xing.it/) and the next concerts will be held at RAUM (via Cà
Selvatica 4/D). It isn't a one-time thing, but rather the strengthening

of a collaboration that has already seen the two organizations meet and
mingle at least a couple of times over the years.

We take this opportunity to let you know the dates and the artists involved

in the upcoming events:

MICHAEL VORFELD 15.05.12




MICHAEL VORFELD
LIGHT BULB MUSIC

Light Bulb Music is an audio-visual performance using sounds that are generated by different light bulbs and actuating electric devices. The use of different controllers such as switches, dimmers, relays, flashers and various others leads to changes in the light and the current flow. This is made audible by a range of microphones and pick-ups. In addition, fine mechanical sounds occurring inside the light controllers are amplified and integrated into the music. The changes in the light intensity, the incandescence of the filaments and the rhythmic variety of the flickering and pulsing lights is directly transformed into a comprehensive and microcosmic electro-acoustic world of sound.



Michael Vorfeld, musician and visual artist based in Berlin, plays percussion and self-designed string-instruments and realises electro-acoustic sound pieces. He works in the field of experimental, improvised music and sound art. He realises installations and performances with light and works with photography and film. Besides his solo activities he is a member of various ensembles and collaborates with artists from different art forms. His list of activities includes numerous concerts, performances and exhibitions in Europe, America, Asia and Australia.

Anthea Caddy 22.04.12

ANTHEA CADDY is a cellist and artist from Melbourne, Australia
currently based in Berlin, Germany. Interested in the relationship
between space, recorded sound and instrumental performance, her work
focuses on her ability to utilise the physical nuances of acoustic
and amplified space. When performing live she uses these techniques
to create a sonic experience that immerses her audience within her
cello, removing the space between audience and performer and allowing
the physical and sonic dimensions of the performance space and
instrument to take centre focus. In live solo performance she often
uses low lighting or complete darkness in multi-channel
configurations re-articulating the sonic space she performs in.

She has performed and exhibited in Australia, New Zealand, USA and Europe
notably at Bludenzer Tage, Austria (2007), Liquid Architecture National Festival, 
Australia (2005,06,09), Diapason Gallery, New York (2009), Leipzig Museum
of Modern Art (2006), Germany, Octubre Centre de Cultura Contemporania,
Valencia (2009), Project Space Gallery, Melbourne (2008), Westspace
Gallery Melbourne (2007), Wroclaw Museum of Contemporary Art, Poland
(2009), Parisonics Festival, Paris (2011),Tesla Centre of Media Arts (2007) and
Radial System V (2010), Berlin. Alongside Thembi Soddell she is profiled in
Experimental Music: audio explorations in Australia edited by Gail Priest published by
UNSW Press 2008.

'Anthea Caddy exploits unconventional surroundings to bring out the
most hidden colours of her instrument, which she's able to transform
into creatures that growl, howl and moan while looking for a far
corner of their short lifespan to affirm their unpredictably menacing
attitude' Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes.
