Dear Friends,

with the arrival of Autumn, here we are with some news.
We are very happy to let you know that our collaboration with the network Xing will continue and our next events will be held at RAUM, Bologna. Here you find the next three dates and the invited artists: three very different live sets that carry on our investigation of liminal languages and new protagonists of the international music scene.

16 October, 10.00 pm
RIE NAKAJIMA
Rie Nakajima is a Japanese artist, living and working in London. Nakajima works with installations and performances that produce sound. Her works are most often composed in direct response to unique architectural spaces using a combination of audio materials and found objects which develops out of sculptural questions.
She is the current associate artist at Café OTO, London. She has collaborated with David Cunningham, David Toop, Miki Yui and some other musicians and artists. She studied art history and aesthetics at Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music (BA), sculpture at Chelsea College of Art and Design (BA) and Slade School of Fine art (MFA).

DUANE PITRE
Duane Pitre is an American avant-garde composer, performer, and sound artist. His work often focuses on the interaction between electronic sound and acoustic instrumentation, chaos and discipline, as well as site-specificity. He also utilizes alternate tuning schemes that focus on microtonality, enabling him to explore unaccustomed intervallic relationships. He has created works for various instrumentation configurations such as string orchestra, his own bowed harmonic-guitar ensemble, string/wind ensembles, as well as solo works. 
Duane Pitre has presented and performed his live works across the U.S., U.K., and Europe at spaces such as Café OTO, Roulette, The Stone, Muziekhuis Utrecht, MoMA’s P.S.1, Les Ateliers Claus, St. Ann’s Cathedral, and ISSUE Project Room. He has received commissions for new works by ISSUE Project Room, the String Orchestra of Brooklyn, and Roulette, among others. He has performed at festivals such as the 2011 Hopscotch Music Festival in Raleigh, NC and the 2012 The Wire's Adventures in Modern Music Festival at The Empty Bottle in Chicago. Pitre’s sound installations have been included in visual art group shows in Geneva (2013's Prosthetic Measures at the Skopia Gallery) and New Orleans (as a part of the 2012 NOLA Now show at the Contemporary Art Center). His work has been released by various labels including Important Records, Root Strata, NNA, and Quiet Design and, in 2009, he curated and contributed a track to a Just Intonation compilation, alongside Pauline Oliveros, Ellen Fullman, Charles Curtis, and others.

STEPHEN CORNFORD
Stephen Cornford is an installation artist and improvising musician. His work stems from an abiding fascination with consumer audio electronics: the way these devices that we are sold to consume music increasingly frame our engagement with the auditory world at large. Reconfiguring these media from the inside, re-imagining their functionality, defying their obsolescence and searching for their intrinsic poetry are for him strategies with which to challenge normative use, social conformity and the myth of technological progress. His work inhabits both gallery and gig, taking the forms of kinetic installation and process-based performance by turns, always searching for situations in which the material – whether solid, spatial or sonic – controls the outcome as much as he does. 
Stephen Cornford is currently a Research Fellow at the Sound Art Research Unit of Oxford Brookes University where he co-curates the Audiograft Festival. He initially studied sculpture at the Slade School of Fine Art before completing an MA at Dartington College of Arts. He has established ongoing collaborations with Samuel Rodgers (with whom he runs the Consumer Waste label), Ben Gwilliam and Patrick Farmer. Recent exhibitions include solo shows at Lydgalleriet (Bergen), Campbell Works (London) and Permanent Gallery (Brighton). Stephen’s work has been included in a large scale retrospectives namely: Sound Art at ZKM Centre for Media & Art and Urban Sounds at the Haus der Elektronische Künste in Basel. Stephen’s audio works have been published by Senufo Editions, Accidie Records, Another Timbre and Cathnor.

Attila Faravelli - Matija Schellander "Freie Aerophone", Aural Tools #2 26.05.13



Attila Faravelli is an Italian sound artist and electro-acoustic musician based in Milano. His solo music is released by Die Schachtel, with Andrea Belfi he is half of the duo Tumble (Die Schachtel), he plays with Nicola Ratti (Boring Machines) and builds sound installations with the artist Nicola Martini (Presto!? records).
He presented his work in USA, Europe and China. In 2010 he partecipated at the Architecture Biennal of Venice. In 2012 he’s been chosen as the curator for the italian month for the Sounds of Europe  project. In his live set he uses modified speakers to open up the stage and to relate sound and space.
He is founder and curator for the newly born Aural Tools project. 


Matija Schellander is an Austrian composer and improvising musician based in Vienna. He mostly uses double bass, modular synthesizer,and speakers: processing input, moving air output. In 2012 Schellander released his first solo CD "sum šum" (The Manual, Seoul, South Korea).He regularly works with Maja Osojnik in their electroacoustic duo Rdeča Raketa (mosz records, god records) and plays with the ensemble Low Frequency Orchestra (founded by Angelica Castello, Thomas Grill, Maja Osojnik and Matija Schellander). Schellander's music is conceptual, but it never dismisses the non-rational, sensual communicational possibility intrinsic in music. In recent years he has focused deeply on music for double bass solo. 


In Bologna they will present "Freie Aerophone", Aural Tools #2.

Aural Tools is a series of multiples who’s aim is to document the work of selected musicians by investigating specific processes (material and conceptual) of sound production, a series of acoustic devices for relating sound to space, to the listener and to the body in alternative ways than CD’s or LP’s.

In the widely used Hornbostel-Sachs musical instrument classification, the freie aerophone (Zeitschrift für Ethnologie, 1914) is an instrument in which the vibrating air is not contained within the instrument itself, for example a siren or a bullroarer.

The bullroarer, usually consists of a wooden slat that produces a roaring sound when swung around one’s head on the end of a string or rope. It has been used in religious ceremonies and as a toy since the Paleolithic period, with examples found in Ukraine dating from 17,000 BC. It has been found also in Europe, Asia, the Indian sub-continent, Africa, the Americas, and Australia.

Aural Tools #2 is based on Matija Schellander’s solo pieces for double bass, “the drill” and “matija schellander”, that make extensive use of indistinct low pitches resonating a space, and sound projections by circular movement of the performer with the instrument.





Luciano Maggiore - Nicola Ratti 14.03.13




Luciano Maggiore (Palermo 1980) is an electroacoustic musician living and working in Bologna. In recent years he has developed a strong interest in the mechanisms of sound diffusion, utilizing speakers and various analog and digital media (walkmans, CD players, tape recorders) as his primary source. Maggiore's interests runs between architectural values and directional, dynamic and psychoacoustic sound, placing a strong emphasis towards fixed sound. 

He works regularly as a duo with Enrico Malatesta and Francesco Brasini.

His work is published by Senufo Editions and Boring Machines. 

http://lucianomaggiore.blogspot.it



Nicola Ratti lives and works in Milan. The use of sound and its almost craftmanship creation pushes his own music research to get through electroacoustic compositions, melodic-rhythmic patterns and nearby an area that could be easily placed between music concrete and minimal techno with a generous use of improvisation.
Today, alongside his solo career, with discs produced by Anticipate (U.S.), Preservation (AU), Megaplomb (IT), Die Schachtel (IT) and concerts in Europe and North America, he works on valuable collaborations such as the soundtrack-band Ronin where he plays guitar since 2006, the duo “Bellows” with Giuseppe Ielasi with whom he shares a radical sound research and the duo FaravelliRatti with Attila Faravelli in which the guitar loses its horizons in the colleague’s world of prepared speakers. With them he has produced several records for Italian and foreign labels.
He’s also, with Fatima Bianchi, the co-founder of FeN Bureau, an art entity for the production of video and sound installations.
Nicola Ratti works as an architect in Gru Architetti, a multidisciplinary team based in Milan, he runs the art/installation branch of the office.

Rubén Patiño 7.02.13


Rubén Patiño, also known as Pato, works in the field of computer music, an activity he combines with incursions in the installation field. Patiño’s works are characterised by an algorithmic compositional style that is both irreverent and hyperenergetic. Originally from Barcelona, he is currently pursuing a masters degree in Sonology at the Royal Conservatory in the Hague.

Klaus Filip/Agnes Hvizdalek 16.01.13






klaus filip 
*1963 
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.
teaching position at the university of applied arts, vienna.
steady dispute with the computer as a musical instrument.
jokebux (online collection of some music)


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...



Francisco Meirino 13.12.12



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.
More than 150 live performances in various venues in Europe, Japan and North America. and in festivals such as : Activating The Medium (San Francisco, USA) / Observatori (Valencia, Spain) /  Musica Genera (Warsaw, Poland) / Norberg Electronic Music Festival (Norberg, Sweden) / Akousma (Montreal, Canada) / Lausanne Underground Film and Music Festival (LUFF, Lausanne, Switzerland) / Ertz (Bera, Spain).
Over the years, he had the honor to collaborate on studio and in live with great artists such as:
Dave Phillips / Scott Arford / Michael Gendreau / Michael Esposito / Randy H.Y. Yau / Lasse Marhaug / Gerritt Wittmer / Jason Kahn / Zbigniew Karkowski / Astro / ILIOS / Tim Olive / Mike Shiflet, among others..
He has been commissioned with music for: Pro-Helvetia (Switzerland), Radio Airplane (Japan), Companie Greffe/Cindy Van Acker (Switzerland), Mostra d'Art Sonor i Visual de Barcelona (Spain).Francisco Meirino has been awarded with the award for electronic music composition in 2003 His music is widely published by labels such as :Misanthropic Agenda / Antrifrost / Entracte / Firework Editions / Presto ! / Groundfault / Banned Productions….

He lives and works in Lausanne, Switzerland.

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.

(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.

Extended Tape Concert Asmus Tietchens + dj Zipo 27.11.11

Domenica 27 novembre alle 19 Xing presenta a Raum, in collaborazione con Sant'Andrea degli Amplificatori, il compositore tedesco di musica elettronica Asmus Tietchens, per la prima volta in solo in Italia con Extended Tape Concert. dj Zipo [aufabwegen] suonerà un set di drone/field recordings/avantgarde collages prima e dopo il concerto del maestro di Amburgo.
Asmus Tietchens, musicista, compositore e teorico tedesco, è un veterano nel campo della musica elettronica non accademica, ed è considerato una delle personalità più enigmatiche della scena musicale internazionale. Attivo fin dagli anni '60 è specialista della registrazione e manipolazione dei suoni, caratterizzandosi per l'attitudine di spingere più in avanti possibile le barriere dell’udibile. Ha pubblicato oltre 70 CD per labels di tutto il mondo (Staalplaat, Multimood, line, aufabwgeen, Die Stadt, Soleilmoon, Korm Plastics, United Dairies, etc.) e ha collaborato con sound artists come Thomas Köner, Vidna Obmana, Okko Bekker, Achim Wollscheid. Nell'arco di 40 anni la sua musica si è evoluta dalle prime sonorità ritmiche degli esperimenti con recorders, tape loops, rythm machines, synth e suoni concreti, verso una libera manipolazione del suono con grande sensibilità per le fonti utilizzate. Recentemente ha lavorato sulle trasformazioni di white noise e sine wave tones, ricerche il cui esito ha fornito la base per la pubblicazione di 3 cd usciti con la Ritornell/Mille Plateaux. Tietchens insegna acustica e sound design al Politecnico di Amburgo, e ha pubblicato numerosi saggi. Asmus Tietchens is considered one of the more enigmatic personalities of the international musical scene. Active since the 1960’s, he has specialised in sound recording and is obsessed by the idea of pushing forward the boundaries of the audible as far as possible.

Renato Rinaldi 04.10.11

Renato Rinaldi studied drama, composition and electronic music. After a number of years working as an actor he began composing music for theatre, radio dramas and video installations. He has produced several radio plays, documentaries and reportages for the Italian national broadcasting radio (RAI). In music, his work focuses primarily on the relationship between sound and environ- ment. Composer Giuseppe Ielasi and photographer Armin Linke are his frequent collaborators.

MAMbo Lunga notte in ascolto 09.07.2011





a cura di Sant’Andrea degli Amplificatori e ZimmerFrei

21,30 - 2,00

ingresso gratuito fino ad esaurimento posti

MAMbo
Museo d'Arte Moderna di Bologna


Una notte dedicata all'ascolto profondo e alla visualizzazione acustica del paesaggio.

La voce che si materializzerà in presenza di carne e ossa nelle sale della mostra campo | largo è considerata da ZimmerFrei come quella di un loro Maestro, anche se a sua insaputa.

Luigi Lombardi Vallauri è un filosofo italiano e ordinario dal 1970 di Filosofia del Diritto all'università di Firenze; dal 1976 al 1998 ha insegnato la stessa materia nell'Università Cattolica di Milano, dalla quale è stato espulso per eterodossia. E' autore del ciclo di trasmissioni radiofoniche "Meditare in Occidente", andate in onda su Radio 3.
Magnifico raccontatore, affabulatore visionario, maestro di meditazioni laiche e guida di escursioni ad alta quota.
Nella prima parte della serata Luigi Lombardi Vallauri proporrà due meditazioni guidate sui temi del Deserto e della Megalopoli, tratte dal ciclo L’anima di paesaggio.

"Per chi lo ama il deserto è un sistema fisico di buone notizie sulla morte.
Forse il morire è un lasciar cadere ciò che ci trattiene. Camminare su nude sabbie con nudi piedi e tersi cieli. Andare ancora e ancora senza tornare.
Quando le jeep si fermano ognuno cammina verso il largo, da solo, il più possibile, è come se volesse non tornare."

"Interminati spazi, sovrumani silenzi: il deserto è il canto solido di una mente illimitata, il deserto il silenzio solido di una mente illimitata. Nulla arresta lo sguardo, tutto lo prolunga, non ci sono accadimenti minimi. Un uomo all’orizzonte è una notizia formidabile, un’erba, una traccia, una pietra sono eventi da trasalimento.
Il deserto è lo spazio espositivo ideale, ogni oggetto vi brilla di vivida presenza. Museografi, galleristi, vetrinisti: ispiratevi al deserto."

"Il deserto è un paesaggio di cielo. Il deserto è un paesaggio di silenzio.
Il deserto è un paesaggio di silicio e ossigeno.
Silicio e ossigeno sotto immenso cielo."

La musica, accanto alla parola, sarà parte integrante del messaggio: larghi spazi e visioni a volo d'uccello prenderanno forma sonora nelle interpretazioni, diversioni e trasfigurazioni dei musicisti che interverranno sul testo di Lombardi Vallauri: Luciano Maggiore, Francesco Brasini, Dominique Vaccaro e Massimo Carozzi.

I paesaggi sonori continueranno nella seconda parte della serata con cinque in concerti in solo di musica elettronica ed elettroacustica.

Suoneranno:
Giuseppe Ielasi, musicista e compositore di lunga esperienza, ha inciso moltissimi dischi su etichette italiane ed estere, nel 2010 ha presentato i propri lavori al Centre Pompidou di Parigi e all’INA-Grm (Radio France).

Stefano Pilia, chitarrista e compositore. Il suo lavoro oscilla tra indagine della dimensione scultorea e spaziale del suono, attraverso la pratica esecutiva strumentale, e ricerca dei processi di registrazione e produzione sonora.

Mario De Vega 3 may 2011




Mario de Vega´s work explores the potential of fragility, ambiguity and contextual relations between objects, spaces and users. His interventions, sound sculptures, documents and projects are framed between a thin line of simulation and reality. Rules in which previous negotiations and agreements where solved.
As sound improviser, his work is the result of unstable systems, the intensification of acoustic space with over-layering of sound information and the design - modification of electronic devices for sound improvisation.
Using turntables, circuit bent devices, analog electronics and custom software in different combinations, his improvisations are unpredictable situations caused by fragile objects and the potential of its failure.
His work has appeared in different contexts throughout Mexico, Europe, United States, Canada, Japan, Korea, Russia and South America.

Jerome Noetinger - SEC 14.04.2011



Jerome Noetinger is an improviser and composer of electroacoustic music based in Grenoble, France.
He also runs the record label and record distributor Metamkine and writes in the French magazine Revue Et Corrigee. He features on the album Secret Curve by Ron Anderson's PAK on John Zorn's Tzadik label.


SEC_ is the moniker of Mimmo Napolitano, b. 1985, electronic musician and sound engineer from Naples, Italy. He plays synthesizers, laptop, tapes and electronic devices, taking part to several projects of experimental music and improvisation. Co-founder, in 2003, of the avant-rock band Weltraum and of its harsh-noise appendix Endorgan, since 2008 he collaborates with electro-acoustic/impro band A Spirale, giving life to the project Aspec(t), in which concrete music and electro-acoustic/feedback experimentation merge with noise poetic, and to the supergoup Strongly Imploded, post-core band with a syncopated aggressive mood. With these formations he played concerts around in Europe, in heterogeneus situations (festivals, clubs, squats, museums, disc shops,...), collaborating with several musicians and improvisers (Jerome Noetinger, Valerio Tricoli, Olivier Di Placido, Franck Vigroux, Ignaz Schick, Basshaters, Jealousy Party, Nicolas Wiese, Dominique Vaccaro, Domenico Sciajno,...). Since 2009 he runs with other collaborators the label Toxo Records, which releases most of his records. In 2010 he starts a collaboration with the actress/performer M. Della Morte, giving life to The Obscene Bird Of The Night [L'osceno uccello della notte], a cruel-mood performance in which concrete musique and noise improvisation mix with a new gestual body practice, on the edge between Kabuki and new Aktionism.

As a sound engineer, he realizes the mixing and the mastering of all his works and of several experimental music works of friends and collaborators.

Actively collaborates in organizing Pestival, a small festival of experimental music and critical thinking in Naples, and Altera!, an annual festival between Avellino and Naples, at its fourth edition.

His sound research is on the edge of concrete music and digital processing, characterized by the use of heterogeneus sound sources and materials (analog synthesizer, feedbacks, samples, metals, radio waves), that are played/processed live through tapes or softwares. In his music there’s often a narrative factor obtained through the straining of sound materials, expecially in a rythmical way. The imperfect ripetitions and the spastic rythms generate a sort of chaotic structure, where the order is only a mask behind which are rather the uncontrolled, the unexpected, the possible to rule.
