Heavy Requiem – Buddhist Chant: Shomyo + Electronics
Keiichiro Shibuya (JP), Eizen Fujiwara (JP), Justine Emard (FR)
This will be a unique collaborative performance of integrated electronic and traditional Buddhist music.

Interactions II
Martina Claussen (DE)
Voice and sound recordings, together with sound objects, weave a “sound carpet” which provides the basis for an electroacoustic journey. These textures act as a sort of humus for voices, from which they repeatedly emerge in fragmented form. Associations of the most diverse kinds and unexpected connections are evoked.

Das Audiovisuelle Archiv / Sometimes a Thousand Twangling Instruments
Volkmar Klien (AT), Snark.art (US)
Sounds and images; paired and archived. A reading apparatus.

Saxophone and Live Electronics Improvisation Concert
Jérôme Nika (FR), Rémi Fox (FR)
C’est pour ça develops an electronic aesthetic while seeking to preserve the organic character of the summoned “memories” (traditional choirs, spoken voice, saxophone playing modes...).

Anschwellen - Abschwellen
Volkmar Klien (AT)
Fully erect, the clock dominates for a while and then subsides; its feathery crown sinking in front of it.

The tenor duets of Claudio Monteverdi
Ensemble Vivante (AT)
Ensemble Vivante presents the dramatically charged vocal music of a contemporary of Kepler, offering works whose texts reflect their time’s turbulence, innovation and discovery through their depictions of nature and humanity.

Strata #4
Quayola (IT)
Strata #4 is a video installation diptych that reimagines the iconic Rubens’ altarpieces of Palais des Beaux Arts in Lille through computational methods. The Baroque paintings are algorithmically analyzed beneath their figurative appearance, allowing them to be re-discovered under a new authenticity.
