Tomoko Sauvage 4.12.14



Tomoko Sauvage, Japanese musician/sound artist based in Paris, has been working on waterbowls, porcelain bowls of different sizes, filled with water and amplified with hydrophones (under­water microphones)*. She plays with different forms of water – drops, waves and bubbles resonating in the bowls as well as audio feedback creating waving drones and natural overtones. Her work is about the delicate balance between controlled and uncontrolled with random percussion of droplets, acoustic characteristics of the space and the fragile tonality created with the fluid materials constantly evaporating and moving.
Sauvage has been giving performances, exhibitions and workshops in Europe, US, Canada and Japan, often in solo but also in collaboration with musicians and choreographers. Her works have been released by and/OAR (US), aposiopèse (BE), dokidoki editions (FR). In 2011, a new set of porcelain bowls was created during her residency at La Pommerie (FR) in collaboration with Ceramic Research Center in Limoges (CRAFT).

Pär Thörn 30.10.14


Pär Thörn (born 1977) is a Swedish live­electronic musician, writer and conceptual artist.
He wants to emphasize the mechanical and material aspects of the taperecorder and the unsecure element in the use of radio. The music moves between sinewaves, circuitbending, clicking stroboscopes, metallic sounds, chanting sound poetry and brutal screams that get juxtaposed with the found material of the radios. Thörns record "Schöneberg/Stammheim/Gärdet/Rågsved" (Treffpunkt) got nominated as the best Swedish experimental music record during 2008. Currently he is active in projects with the dancer Takako Suzuki, the turntablist Ignaz Schick, the saxophone player Martin Küchen and the trumpet player Axel Dörner.

Matthieu Saladin - Evaporation d’une certaine quantité d’eau - 7.03.14




Matthieu Saladin

Evaporation d’une certaine quantité d’eau

 Climatic pièce

with Esteban Ayala, Federico Cataldo, Mario Guida, Valerio Maiolo, Amirabbas Mohammadi, Matthieu Saladin.

Evaporation d'une certaine quantité d'eau is an experimental score for an undetermined number of performers. A collective climatic pièce whose duration is determined by the time of evaporation of water. The performance will be realized at Raum for the first time with the collaboration of young artists and musicians involved in a workshop on the aquatic dimension of sound practices.

Matthieu Saladin’s practice results from a conceptual approach, which reflects upon the history of forms, of creative processes and social constructs, as well as on the relationships between art and society from an economic and political perspective. He is editor­in­chief of the journal TACET, on experimental music and sound art. He is also a member of the editorial board of Revue & Corrigée and Volume! He has got PhD in Aesthetics (Panthéon­Sorbonne University) and he teaches philosophy of art at the Haute École des Arts du Rhin (HEAR). He is researcher at Institut ACTE, Panthéon­Sorbonne University / CNRS. 





A.TYPIST 26.02.14

A.TYPIST (Hankil Ryu, lo wie, Taeyong Kim)

A. Typist is a project group formed in 2011 by Korean musician Hankil Ryu and writers lo
wie and Taeyong Kim. The group is interested in the unusual and sudden results of acts
of writing, exploring if writing  can be another way of producing music/non­music works.
Investigating an unknown area between text and sound, they apply sound technology to
old  typewriters  and  their  own  mechanisms  so  that,  in  addition  to  the  original  sound,  a
sound derived from writing is produced. A.Typist's first works – Beckett's Typist, Profile,
and Descriptions for Other Things – have been released as three CD+Book sets in 2011
by The Manual and Mediabus. 

http://themanual.co.kr

 

Hankil  Ryu is a musician  interested  in finding  an alternative  musical  structure  in
abandoned  objects  like  clockworks,  typewriters  and  telephones.  After  discovering  the
instrumental possibilities of a typewriter, he started to collaborate with writers lo wie and
Taeyong Kim. Since 2005, he organised a monthly event called RELAY and established
The Manual, his own publishing office.

lo wie has written screenplays and text for video works and now collaborates with other
musicians in making sound by writing text.

Taeyong Kim is a novelist born in 1974 in Seoul, South Korea. He majored in creative
writing  at  the  Graduate  School  of  Soongsil  University  and  currently  is  Professor  of
creative writing at Seoul Institute of the Arts. He has published two books of short stories,
Pig on the Grass (2007) and Pimp Story (2012), and a novel, Straight Out (2010), that
examines the fate of man in a world where language invariably betrays intention, yet there
is  no  choice  but  to  use  language  to retain  thought.  One  of  his  short  stories  has  been
published in France under the name J'etais un Maquereau (2011, Cartouche). In 2008, he
won The Korea Times Literary Award and in 2012 the Moonji Literary Award. 
 

Antoine Chessex - MULTIPLE 30.01.14


Born in Vevey in 1980, Antoine Chessex is a composer and sound artist whose works assume a wide diversity of forms spanning compositions for ensembles, solo performances, sound installations and transdisciplinary projects. His compositions are characterized by textural density and address the physical dimensions of sounds and spaces. The works of Antoine Chessex have over the years crossed the boundaries between noise, modern composition, improvisation and electronic music. His background as a saxophone player saw him performing extensively in different experimental music contexts during the past decades.
