Big Concert Night: Sonitus aeternus - The Bruckner 9 Project

Bruckner Orchester Linz (AT)

Once again, Ars Electronica’s Big Concert Night goes on a grand voyage of discovery. After exploring the world of robotics and AI, encountering digital images and engaging with dance and theater, the focus this year is on the core of all music: the acoustic basis for sound and the space that sound can create. On the one hand, we examine the physical space that sound waves traverse and create, but of course we will also explore the metaphysical multidimensions that sound opens up in the process of becoming music.

Sonic Portals

Gleb Yakushev (RU), Maria Karpovich (RU), Olga Zubova (RU), Leonid Kurashov (RU), Aleksander Senko (RU), Ekaterina Volkova (RU), Ivan Kalashnik (RU), Lana Tarvolaria (RU), Simona (RU), Steve Rocket (RU), Eva Reicher (RU)

Sonic Portals is a speculative digital environment, a matrix that presents sonic possible worlds made by students of HSE University (Sound Art & Sound Studies Department). Portals, having several meanings, can be perceived as an architectural entrance, a web-based platform, connecting different sources, a passage to different worlds, getting more mythological.

Rave

NAKADIA, VERTERE SOUNDSYSTEM, ALBIRD VS DRIBLA, DISKOTETRIS, ISOSKELES, OXOPOHA

Pianographique 2021

Maki Namekawa (JP)

Maki Namekawa has created a new program for this year's Ars Electronica, bringing music by György Ligeti, Chick Corea and, for the first time, Polish composer Hania Rani to the visual arena of the Deep Space venue. She will be visually accompanied by Cori O'Lan, who will once again connect the Deep Space’s high-end graphics cards with his real time visualization system to provide an immersive visual interpretation of Maki Namekawa’s performance.

Sound Park - auditory scenes

In einer von visuellen Reizen dominierten Welt kann die auditive Wahrnehmung eine Oase der Ruhe sein. Der Klangpark - im Keplergarten der Johannes Kepler Universität Linz - bietet die Möglichkeit, sich zu entspannen und sich auf einen aktiven Hörprozess einzulassen. Die BesucherInnen sind eingeladen, die Augen zu schließen und ein klangliches Bewusstsein für einen ihnen unbekannten Raum entstehen zu lassen.

Transient

Quayola (IT) / Seta (IT)

Transient - Impermanent paintings is an audiovisual concert for motorized piano and conductor in collaboration with generative algorithms. Hyper-realistic digital brushstrokes articulate endlessly on a large-scale projection as if on a real canvas. Each brushstroke is sonified with a piano note, creating polyphonic synesthetic landscapes. Transient starts a new direction in Quayola Studio, where experimentation extends to sound through unconventional generative systems. This project features Quayola’s studio collaborator and musician Andrea Santicchia aka Seta.

VIBRATIONS

Moritz Simon Geist (DE)

Vibrations is an AI-controlled robotic sound instrument reflecting on minimal music.

The Sea—Sounds & Storytelling II
